Solidarity power. France, Languedoc, 2022

 “Solidarity power” was a training course that happened from 28 of October to 5 of November in a place Languedoc in France.

🌍Participants from France, Poland, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, Croatia, Italy and Portugal gathered together for one week in a nice castle Château de St Aunay to get a unique experience and to learn new things.

🧐The main aim of the training course was to give to participants knowledge and skills on how to support young people to initiate, develop, apply for, implement and follow up on ESC Solidarity Projects.

During a week participants got acquainted with such aspects of project management as budgeting, communication, team-work, project executing, monitoring, risk management, and reporting in the best way possible through examples and discussions. 

Also participants developed their coaching skills needed to coach Solidarity Projects made by young people. In the frame of coaching sessions participants worked on a goal-setting, which gave them an overview of life and steps for realizing plans. 

✍️Large part of the training time was devoted to practice in developing drafts of application forms for Solidarity Projects. Participants worked on developing a project starting from the beginning, so from the designing and trying to go to all its stages and creating the ESC application form. 

This experience for participants was not only about learning more about the ESC Project. It was a great opportunity to discover new cultures, learn more about beautiful countries, meet incredible people and discover something new about yourself.

One of the results of the training course was a guide developed by participants about the Solidarity Projects. This guide covers such topics:

  • What is a Solidarity Project
  • Project management tools
  • Coaching information and tools

The guide is available here

🤝This project was organized by Logos NGO in partnership with organization AMITIE FRANCO RUSSE LANGUEDOC “AFR”.

ESC stories. Nuray Yaşar

As Logos EVS volunteer I spent beautiful 6 months in Poland and I want to mention my EVS journey. Everything started with an open call on a Facebook group. Logos was looking for volunteers from Turkey and I applied for it. Back then I had no idea about Logos NGO. After a successful selection process, I came to Poznan and started to support my organization at the office and the local activities. I organized workshops, made presentations at schools, attended a fair to represent Logos and etc. I met amazing people and built new friendships. I gained new skills and experiences during my voluntary service. I am glad to join to EVS program and be part of the Logos family."

Thank you Nuray and Logos wish you full of successes🤩

ESC stories. Selin Üstüner

My 6 month Evs journey has come to an end. It was difficult for me in the beginning to adapt to a new country, new people, but thanks to LOGOS family it didnt last long 🙂 I gained new perspectives, ideas and it helped me to better understand who I am, what I like, what I enjoy.
I have experienced a lot of stuff that I wouldnt experience in my own country. I am glad that I left my comfort zone and decided to do that. Leaving my comfort zone helped me to become aware of my responsibilities more and more.
I participated to a lot of activities, events, trainings and met many wonderful people that influenced me.
I feel myself very lucky to have such and amazing experince and memories that I wouldn't forget for the rest of my life! 🙂
Thank you all for making this journey amazing, I highly recommend you to be a part of this family!

Kalimera!

Greetings from Polish team Volunteers on Tour. We have a pleasure to be participants of Eco project in Kannavia #PlanBePlanItBeIt

Our journey has started very actively. In the beginning, we had a lot of energizers and games which helped us in getting to know each other with people from other countries such as Portugal, Spain, Czechia, Germany, and Italy.

Apart from that, we have helped in the field of Mr Aleikos, who lives in the village. We could also get to know other inhabitants by walking around the village and asking what we could help them with. Some of them gave us some tasks that we will fulfil next week. All the people who live here are very hospitable, kind and humble. You simply cannot leave the house of a Kannavian without tasting some traditional dessert or cheese!

Thanks to the Host Organisation (Plan Be) we could visit Nicosia for Erasmus Festival and go hiking in the Troodos Mountains the next day.
We are sending some beautiful memories from this magical week.

To be continued.....

ESC stories. Cihat in Poznan

Hello Logos Family;
First of all, I would like to thank that you made me a part of this family even if it’s a 6-months adventure. I've learned so much I can use at every moment of my life. It wasn’t difficult to adapt to Poland life and its culture for me, of course, thanks to Logos NGO 🙂

With a nice start, I've been to a kindergarten in Poznan together with other Turkish volunteers. We tried to introduce everything about Turkish culture to children.

One of my biggest tasks at Logo NGO was to conduct interviews. We were getting applications to participate in projects like training courses, youth exchange, seminar, etc.
I supported my team in the selection stage of participants for different projects by organizing skype interviews. I had an opportunity to participate in one of the projects like this as well. Thus, I went to Paris, France in order to attend to project called ''Hate Speech'. I have briefly expressed my experiences to you.

Once again I would like to thank the Logos family for the opportunity to have these beautiful experiences.

Sincerely
Cihat TAŞCI

Fist of all I have to say thank you to Marko Boyko who is my coordinator and all Logos Family. Thanks to them, I felt like I am at home all the time. Thanks to them, I joined a lot of youth activities, workshops, events during my EVS.
