Naša volonterka Europskih snaga solidarnosti, María Ortiz, sudjelovala je na mid-term treningu u Zadru, koji okuplja međunarodne volontere u Hrvatskoj u organizaciji Agencije za mobilnost i programe Europske unije.

 

Dani koje sam provela u Zadru na mid-term treningu dali su mi vremena i prostora da razmislim o putu koji sam do sada prošla u ovom projektu, kao i da se malo upustim u introspekciju.
Kroz predložene aktivnosti, moji kolege sudionici i ja podijelili smo svoja iskustva – što radimo u svojim organizacijama i kako volontiranje utječe na nas na osobnoj razini. Učinili smo to na dinamičan način dok smo i dalje postizali ciljeve treninga. Posebno mi se svidjelo što su neke od aktivnosti uključivale jaku kreativnu komponentu i održavale su se na otvorenom, što nam je omogućilo da u isto vrijeme istražimo grad. Dobili smo slobodu da realiziramo vlastite ideje, zbog čega sam se osjećala ispunjenije i sigurnije u sebe.
Treneri su bili fantastični i vrlo pažljivi prema našim inputima i reagirali su na način koji je najbolje funkcionirao za grupu. Stvorena je vrlo ugodna atmosfera, a kako je grupa bila mala, među nama se stvorio pravi osjećaj povjerenja. Također su bili od velike pomoći u pogledu Youthpassa i mogućnosti koje su nam dostupne nakon ove faze projekta.
Osim toga, hostel je bio odmah uz plažu, a vrijeme je bilo odlično. Imali smo dovoljno slobodnog vremena za uživanje, što nam je pomoglo da se opustimo i ponovno povežemo s vlastitim mislima i emocijama. Ovo opuštenije stanje stvarno je pridonijelo kvaliteti našeg rada i osobnog promišljanja.
Još jednom sam otišla osjećajući duboku zahvalnost za sve što mi ovo iskustvo daje.

 

ENGLISH VERSION

 

Our European Solidarity Corps volunteer, María Ortiz, participated in the mid-term training in Zadar, which brings together international volunteers in Croatia and is organized by the Agency for Mobility and Programmes of the European Union.

 

The days I spent in Zadar for the mid-term training gave me the time and space to reflect on the journey I've taken so far in this project, as well as to engage in some introspection.

Through the proposed activities, my fellow participants and I shared our experiences—what we do in our respective organizations and how this work is affecting us on a personal level. We did so in a dynamic way while still achieving the goals of the training. I especially enjoyed that some of the activities included a strong creative component and were held outdoors, allowing us to explore the city at the same time. We were given the freedom to implement our own ideas, which made me feel more fulfilled and confident in myself.

The trainers were fantastic, and very attentive to our input and responsive to what worked best for the group. A very pleasant atmosphere was created, and because the group was small, a real sense of trust developed among us. They were also extremely helpful regarding the Youthpass and the opportunities available to us after this phase of the project.

Additionally, the hostel was right by the beach, and the weather was great. We had plenty of free time to enjoy it, which helped us relax and reconnect with our own thoughts and emotions. This more relaxed state really contributed to the quality of our work and personal reflection.

Once again, I left feeling deeply grateful for everything this experience is giving me.
