At one moment, I’m opening my eyes with the blink of the “you may unseat your belt” light and I can’t contain the adrenaline rushing through my veins dictated by stepping into a place I’ve never been before. All the advertisements, car plates and a new unknown word to ask for a bottle of water… Continue reading O testemunho do Özcan (SPEAK)
My second voluntary week did just start here in Lisbon at Espaço Âncora that literally means anchor place and is meant to be a low-threshold drop-in place for people in vulnerable situation. During my short time here, I have already witnessed the importance that Âncora holds for many. It offers a safe place during the… Continue reading O testemunho da Camilla (Crescer na Maior)
Just 3 weeks and so much happened! It's incredible how time flies when you are having fun and starting a new stage in your life. It feels like yesterday when I landed in Lisbon and my actual roomate, Valentia, and I were having a hamburger at 11pm in a place close by our hostel. Since… Continue reading O testemunho da Marta (SPEA)
It's the third week of my EVS project and the only thing that I think is that I made the right choice. My project takes place in Lisbon, where I will spend twelve months in a kindergarten that works in close contact with the neighborhood where is located that is going through a revaluation process.… Continue reading O testemunho da Lara (Crescer a Cores)
“As grandes viagens começam com um primeiro passo”, se calhar a frase não está bem escrita, se calhar o autor não existe, se calhar todo o mundo já ouviu uma versão diferente. Na verdade, o importante é compreender o seu significado, mais além da sua gramática. Aceitei o convite para viver uma realidade diferente à… Continue reading O testemunho do Martin (Biblioteca Natália Correira)
Two and a half weeks have passed since I arrived in Lisbon and it seems to be here longer time, but with still many things to discover. I can considere these early days like “the phase of adaptation”, in which I knew the other people and the new life that was waiting for me. I… Continue reading O testemunho da Elena (Crescer a Cores)
They say times flies when you are having fun… and I can't believe it has already been a month since I arrived in Lisbon! Everything started with our first meeting in Spin office, where I met our coordinator Inês and the other volunteers starting in October (Annalise, Tavi, Viviana and Ksenia). Since then I have… Continue reading O testemunho da Ana (SPEM)
Depois de duas ou três semanas de terminar o EVS, tudo aquilo parece-me um sonho longe. Já acabou? Passou tão depressa que não acredito que eu estive lá, em Lisboa, um ano inteiro a fazer um voluntariado. A gente diz; “se o tempo correr depressa, é que foi um tempo feliz”. Neste caso, foi assim.… Continue reading O Testemunho de Fran Rosell
Hello! This is Tavi, from Romania. I have just started my ESC experience in Lisbon! What made me come here? Well, when I was 18 my older brother forced me to go on an Erasmus+ funded youth exchange and I’ve been trying to go on these kinds of experiences ever since. It blew my mind… Continue reading O testemunho do Tavi
Passados os primeiros dias do voluntariado, chegou o tempo para compartilhar as minhas impressões. De início pensei que ainda é demais cedo para quaisquer reflexões, mas já percebi que é uma boa ideia reler o meu testemunho mais tarde e lembrar-me do que eu senti nos primeiros dias desta jornada. Como durante o nosso primeiro… Continue reading O testemunho da Ksenia
