Hello, I’m Alex (yes, the same person who was looking for sunshine in Germany) and this time I’m writing my final report after completing my twelve months of voluntary work. How quickly time flies. Sometimes I can’t believe that a year ago I arrived without knowing what was going to happen, and now I’m here […]

Today is my last day of volunteering and I find myself still avoiding confronting my emotions. There are so many feelings swirling inside me, but I know I need to unravel them so I can continue my journey. Almost a year ago, I arrived in Bremen. I remember my first day vividly, the excitement, the

In May, I began my volunteering placement at a youth center in Bremen, Germany, through the European Solidarity Corps. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a vibrant, energetic space where young people from diverse cultural backgrounds come together to play games, join sports activities, cook, chat, or simply seek guidance. I quickly

Seit meinem ersten Bericht sind bereits mehrere Monate vergangen. In dieser Zeit habe ich vieles über Deutschland und auch über meine eigene Arbeit gelernt und wertvolle Erfahrungen gesammelt. Am 24. Juni fand die Eröffnung unserer Ausstellung statt, in der verschiedene Projekte präsentiert wurden, an denen wir in den letzten fünf Monaten – oder sogar länger

If the beginning of my Bremen story started with lost luggage and confusion, the ending feels more like… legacy. Not the kind with golden statues or streets named after you (yet), but the kind where people say “thank you” and mean it. The kind where your work starts living its own life, even after you’ve

[Please, bear with me. I swear I tried to be brief and concise.] When I first came here, we were told that January-February was usually the hardest time for volunteers – as it combines the return from our family for Christmas and the excruciatingly slow end of the cold, grim season. For me, though, March-April-May

Ten months have passed incredibly quickly. If I had known I would be staying longer, I definitely would have bought that Stray Kids ticket. Oh well, maybe next year. Although I did not get to travel as much as I had hoped this year, it makes sense when everyone around you is busy with their

Hi, it’s Alex again, reporting from the land where the sun is still a rare guest and rain is a loyal companion. I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by—sometimes I wish I could press pause, just to enjoy a little longer everything that’s happening around me. At work, everything is still fantastic.

Since writing my last report, many exciting things happened, but not so much of them are things that I would like to share. So it feels a little complicated to write this.I had my second (which is also the last) seminar, which was a surprisingly pleasent experience. Compared to the first one, I felt better

As expected with this report, things have just progressed without that many humps. After the cascade of events and experiences that populated my first few months, this second batch has been relatively quieter, and it’s been characterized by a progressive acclimatisation to my life here in Bremen. As always, I’ve been the main bearer of the
