Hugo was making giang bubbles along with Natalia from time to time as well as organizing some competitions or other games for people who were approaching to where he was.

Together with the various activities from members of FIYE there was some volunteers like Emil, who was playing music and Iga who was in charge to take photos during the event. As stated before there were people making figures with plastiline in the University tent and close to eat and as well in the empty space in front of the tent was the science club showing to the people some experiments.

As the time was passing the people were going to the different stands and getting to know a bit of everything, the best part was that there were always new people coming to the event, giving it the effect we wanted to give, so more and more people from Pultusk were knowing about the organizations and what they can do with and for them.

When the even was almost over it was the time of three competitions for kids, with rewards, and a time to show a bit of cooking, Hugo was preparing Patatas Ali-Oli and Tomato and Oregan Salad, and Elena made bliny both Salty and Sweet, and the games we used for the competitions were, Limbo, a game in which you had to move water from one bucket to another and one where you had to eat apples that were in a rope without using your hands.

Children's festival in Helenów

       1-st of July is a traditional holiday - International Children's Day: the General Assembly of UN suggested that the universal celebration of the World Day of the child will serve to strengthen solidarity and cooperation between the nations. Traditionally  there are different activities for children and charity events during this day. 

          2-nd of July our partner organization  Stowarzyszenie Promocji Wolontariatu took part in celebration of  Children's day in Helenów. And we as a volunteers, of course, was invited. During preparation we proposed to take our photobuds to let children and there parents to make interesting photos with hats, lips, mustache and so on or with big red heart, which we was making with big love for St. Valentines day. Besides we bought some paints for painting faces.

           At around 10 we started. Our Warsaw volunteers prepared the table with paper and paints, where children spend their time drawing. We put there our photobuds and began to wait, if some will come or not. Actually there were a lot of organizations, which provided different activities as games, carousels. We worked near big stage, where ware different performance. 

           Later we found that no one can paint faces. We let one of Warsaw volunteers starts and then became more brave to paint ugly faces :-)

 

          And we worked 3 hours non-stop painting butterflys, cats, dogs. tigers. Right now me and Claudia from Honduras are pro! 

          After break we came back and spend some time on the grass listening music. More photo for you:

Have a good time and protect children,

Elena.

Voluntary Festival in Ciechanów

      The last days of spring, that were very warm and windy, we spend presenting out organization. On 30-th of May we were invited to the Voluntary Festival in Ciechanów   by Stowarzyszenie Ciechanowski Wolontariat. 

       The main idea was to present FIYE for young and not people from Ciechanów  and to show them different opportunities to go abroad and work there as a volunteer. 

     During our trip to Ciechanów weather was wonderful, but at the place, when we found organizers of the festiwal and start to prepare our working space, the strong wind began and blow away all our staff. 

           We wanted to create a little cafe, where everyone interested in voluntary service or workcamps can ask our coordinators Sylwia and Grzegosz about it and take advices, drinking limonade and eating sweet-stuff. But it was hard to realize this idea because of place (too small), wind (every time blowing away our poster, cups, flags and so on) and absence of young people. In spite of that, we told with people, who was going near our tent, showed them our chronicle with photos. 

      We was there about 3 hours meeting people, trying to become acquainted with different organization, giving interview, but the weather became more and more horrible and we decided to go. Anyway it was good day :-)

Good luck,

Elena :-)

Holiday Job Fair

       On 28 of May Youth Career Center in Pułtusk held a Holiday Fair Work for young people, who want to spend this summer with behoof and get some money. It was one of the projects aimed at young people, implemented within the week under the slogan "Safe holidays with work".
       The meeting was attended by Youth ZS im. B. Prusa in Pultusk.
Within the framework of fair specialists in the field of job placement and career counseling Labour Education Centre and Youth in Warsaw presented the offer MWK OHP. They told about the activities of their units, encourage young people to use the VLC offer, as well as to visit the website ECAM - Electronic Youth Activation Center, containing current information about ongoing service and themed items including from the labor market. Young people interested in working holiday could take a look and take advantage of the jobs that were presented Mediatrix work. Offers of work related to the following positions: waiter, kitchen help, the guardian of the elderly, the distributor of work and leaflets, hostess, promoter, employee inventory, telephone consultant, employee protection.

       Me and my coordinator, Sylwia Jędra, represented them an alternative proposition for an active holiday spending. Of course, it was European Voluntary Service and workcamps.  Sylwia  represented the Centre for International Youth Exchange and Voluntary FIYE in Pultusk, youth acquainted with the possibilities of work experience within the EVS. It is an interesting proposal for young people because it allows you to explore other countries, learning about their culture, improving foreign language skills and the acquisition of various competences and skills. I spoke about my volunteering experience in Poland. In the end of meeting we talked a little bit with teachers and young people about Poland and Russian Language.

Portuguese day

                                                                Hello our favourite readers!

                                           I hurry up to tell you how we spend last Saturday :-)

       One of Warsaw volunteers from SPW, Carla from Portugal, was invited by our Academy of Humanities to tell about her country and culture to children. We already had that kind of meeting about Spanish culture.

Carla works with disable people in Helenów and she was glad to visit us and to share her knowledges.

       During one hour she was telling us about geography of Portugal showing interesting map with famouse sights and names of known people. Portugal is a very warm country near sea and we decided to go there one day :-) 

       Except that we watched a little video, tried to learn some basic phrases like "My name is..." or "Thank you" playing a game, sang a song and drew a flag. 

       Carla put on the floor different pictures of car, house, flower and so on said the names in Portuguese and children have to run first to the right picture. 

  Our volunteer spoke English with kids and some of them understood her quite good. In despite of that children were little noisy the meeting was a success and cognitive. 

Intercultural Meeting

Hello everyone!

Today, 14th of May, there was the idea to organize a meeting about intercultural shock and how the different cultures behave, the reason under this thing was that some of the people from Pultusk will soon go to workcamps around Europe and we wanted to talk with them about the things they can find there and how they can understand them, as well as to show how can they could even create their own culture from nothing.

The beggining of the meeting started with Hugo and Sasha cooking some food for the guests, so at the beggining of the afternoon we went outside, with tables and chairs, and we put some plates with paella, apples and tea for the people who wanted to join us

With the time more and more people were coming so we had to bring down more food and some more tea, it started at 4pm, and we were taking our food beggining until 5pm. 

Later for the proper meeting we had to go upstairs, to start with the introduction. We introduced ourselves to the guests and after that we started for the beggining of the program. There we talked a bit about what they know about intercultural related things, and we were in that point for about 30 minutes, where Sylwia was explaining to them and they were sharing their experiences and their thoughs.

After that we proposed them a game, where they had to form two groups, and each group had to create a different culture, with their own rules and laws, we gave them some time for this task, and they started to create the different cultures in different places of the meeting zone, avoiding the share of ideas between groups to see if they will be able to create unique cultures that doesn't have anything to do with the other, on this activity, we gave them some rule, one of the group was creating a culture with a warm weather, and the other one with a cold weather.

When the time passed we encouraged them to craete their own city, and we gave them different materials.

They started to create their own "habitat" and they even created their own god in a water boiler machine. We asked about what was their culture, and the things they had on it, and we asked how they did decide to make it like that.

We listen to their stories and then we gave them the possibility to build a bridge to the other culture that was created by the other group. Telling them that by sacrificing some of their goods they could reach the other culture. When they built the bridge they were supposed to send "emisaries" to get known things about the other cultures and so they did, the point or the idea we had in mind was them to share and talk about their cultures, but happens totally the opposite, they closed themselves in their cultures rejecting to talk with them about anything, thus after the estipulated time they came back to their own "city".

We asked why that happened and what was the reason of their decisions, explaining them our idea. In the end we were talking about the conclusion of the meeting, what they learned and what it could be improved in future meetings.

After everything we just spent some time hanging around and talking about different things related to the intercultural shock and how to prevent and get used to it

I hope to see you all there next time, have a nice day.
