Our European Solidarity Corps volunteer Aleksandra Peneva shares her experience of volunteering at Zavod Bobbity Bob.
Even in the first week, she felt accepted and encouraged to be active, share ideas and contribute with her own views.
During her volunteering, she got involved in a variety of activities – streetwork, painting, jam sessions, DIY initiatives, board games and events, as well as initiatives related to inclusion, sustainability and creating a safer environment for young people.
- One of her personal contributions is the introduction of chess during streetwork, which has proven to be a great way to attract more participants and create new opportunities for communication.
- Her participation in the “Rethinking Sports Culture” campaign, aimed at rethinking the sports environment as a space for communication, fun and confidence – instead of competition, exclusion and toxic behavior, is particularly valuable.
But the most important thing she takes home are the people, the encounters and the experience. Different stories, perspectives and cultures helped her broaden her horizons, develop new skills and discover more about herself.
- Four months later, the aftermath is clear – new skills, new friendships, inspiration and a feeling of belonging to something meaningful.
This is exactly the power of the European Solidarity Corps – it gives young people the opportunity not just to travel and volunteer, but to be part of communities, to create change and to change themselves.
We are proud of our volunteers and their contribution!
