Be part of 'Europe In Calvià II', Delia


¡Hola, guapos!

This is my second week in Calvià as a part of the EVS project 'Europe in Calvià II' and I already think that I would like to stay here forever.

So many things to tell... about the island, the people, the project, the environment, the apartment, the Spanish life!

Let's go through it.

As soon as we arrived at the airport I met our tutor, Manon. I knew that she would be mothering us in a way. She has been patiently available for all these days, indeed, to answer all our questions (lots and lots of questions) and she also has been always ready to help us or to solve any kind of problem we had in the first period.

We met all the staff of the CUC (Centre Universitari de Calvià) as well and they were all so sweet treating us, from the beginning, as members of their big family.

All the stunning views of the island helped us to fall immediatly in love with its every single spot. We live in a very nice apartment in Palmanova equipped with all we need and, above all, just opposite the seaside! Even though the autumn is coming and maybe the next days won't be as sunny as now, it's comforting and encouraging to wake up not so far from the sea.

Before coming here I didn't imagine how big the municipality of Calvià is: it is divided in different villages like Palmanova, Magaluf, Santa Ponça and Son Ferrer, each of them being fantastic with their amazing places, beaches, mountains, clubs, old buildings and landscapes. We are supposed to do different activities for the project and luckily most of them let us moving around the municipality so that volunteering will be also an opportunity to visit this part of the island.

The Spanish life, with its tradition and its typical food, looks so cool, but I think that the most gorgeous aspect of being part of this project is the fact that we can be very useful with our 'work': I am volunteering in the elderly centre of Calvià and it has been touching, from the very first time, seeing how a smile or a word can change the day of a lonely person.

It couldn't start better!

CECILIA: More about my experience in Lithuania

Hi! This past month I have not written blog because I went to Christmas to Spain and I have not spent much time here. At the beginning of December I was able to visit the Christmas tree that they put next to the cathedral every year, next to a small Christmas market where I bought a couple of things to give to my family. Now in January I have returned, and in the kindergarten there have been two news volunteer girls, from another organization, who come to spend with us 6 weeks, they are from Hungary and Ukraine, they are very nice, and another new volunteer girl has also come from Turkey but she is from my organization, and lives with me, and will be with us all year. These days in the kindergarten we have done some activities since we are quite a few volunteers, for example we have made bracelets with colored threads, we have made origami forms with colored papers, etc. and I wanted to show them a Mallorcan tradition that is celebrated on January 16, wher...

Arrival Training en Kokkola (Finlandia).

¡Hola, majos! En esta entrada os quiero hablar de mi experiencia en mi Arrival Training . Si estáis haciendo un Servicio de Voluntariado Europeo, o como se conoce ahora, Cuerpo de Solidaridad Europeo, una de vuestras actividades durante vuestro proyecto es la del Arrival Training , la formación de llegada. Consiste en que a todas las personas que llevan menos de 3 meses realizando su proyecto de voluntariado en el país donde lo realizan se reúnen para tratar los derechos y deberes del voluntario. Mediante actividades dinámicas, juegos y hasta alguna clase de Finlandés en mi caso, conocemos la importancia de ser un voluntario europeo y la forma de poder aprovechar la oportunidad. Personalmente, creo que también es una forma muy útil de conocer a personas que están en la misma situación que tú y que, incluso si echas de menos personas de tu país, también es probable que encuentres alguna. Puedes hacer amigos y, si tienes amigos en distintos lugares del país, es más fácil vi...

¡Hola, guapos y guapas! I hope that your last month was as nice as mine and that you are enjoying reading our blog and participating a bit in our Mallorca life! January has been full of emotions. I am going to tell you some highlights in a very short way. My 2019 started at high speed: in my free time I continued visiting around both the island and the peninsula. Madrid has been a discovery because I didn't expect at all that it's such a fascinating city. I will go back there for sure! I also took the chance of exploring the neighborhood that let me change my mind again about Mallorca: it's even more wonderful than I already thought. This island has so many different landscapes and views, so nice pueblitos and so friendly people. Then the month finished with the middle-term evaluation: we flew to Malaga and we met 70 other volunteers from all over Spain. It has been a moment of pure joy sharing our volunteering experiences and working on how we co...
