ISSUE 11 - March 2019

The following day we went to the festival to help and Lubo was with us. We spitted in two groups. Oyku and I helped them by giving prizes and gifts. Yagmur, Gokhan and Lubo helped them in other place. During the night Oyku, Lily, Lubo and I did some social activities. It was a good opportunity for us to have such an experience in a big organization.

The following week, we started to talk about weekly activities and midterm plans. Then Ivan Ivanov facilitated Culture Shock session. The session was really important to make us more tolerated and adapted to our EVS processes.

The next day we made a mentor meeting to discuss some topics. Then we had a Bulgarian class. It was one of the key session for us to understand Bulgarian culture and language better. In this session we learnt Greetings and simple phrases to communicate. At the end of the day, we made a live broadcasting called “Doors Open Day”. So at night, we went to a place where we can tasting Bulgarian traditional food. This was a good opportunity to meet other people.

Before we went to Martenitza workshop, Lily and Ivan gave presentation about the Bulgarian culture, food and traditions. In there, we met lots of people from the other nations. The place was very diverse so it was a good experience for us.

During the final day of this term, we met a girl named “Tanya”. And we had two shootings about share and explore. At the final session, we wrote the weekly evaluation form.
