Before the arrival training we had no clue what would happen and what we would do there. However our journey began at 6am in a very comfortable PolskiBus. During the bus trip, those who had not met before, got to know each other. We were a bit sleepy, but also very excited when we arrived in Warsaw - the Polish capital, in the afternoon.
Agrykola was our hostel and the place where we had a lot of fun with other volunteers coming from all over Europe. Michael and Woytek were our trainers. They let us chose the biggest content of the training and made sure that we get the most benefits out of these days. Close to the hostel is the Lazienki-Park, a huge park established by Ujazdow Stanislaw Lubomirski in the 17th century. All of you have to make a long walk through it, because the park is wonderful. Mostly we used the park to relax and calm down.
During the training we learnt a lot and gained many new skills. The biggest advantage from the training was to share our upcoming problems during the first days. Everyone was quite in the same situation so we recognized we were not the only ones facing these issues. This gave us a lot of confidence. All in all the arrival trainings was totally successful. We were surrounded by an intercultural environment and we experienced the European diversity. Last but not least we have to underline that we are enthusiastic about participating in the EVS program.
Kind regards,
Ana, Mariana, Chiara, Frederic
