Hello everyone. In this post, I’ll take you on a warm journey straight to the heart of the Mediterranean 😊As part of the Peace of Art project, we set off on May 16–26 for Camposilvano, a small and peaceful village hidden behind the green hills of northern Italy.
These last months in Izmir have been some of the most beautiful and intense of my life. When I first arrived, I didn’t know exactly what to expect — a new country, a new language, new people. But now, as I prepare to leave, I realize just how deeply this experience has touched me.
Hello again! What has happened since the last time I wrote here? Technically, not a lot. Each day feels similar to the others, and the workshop place doesn’t change, but there is something magical in that established routine, and the months leading up to the end of our volunteering. We can already feel in the air the excitement and sometimes sadness among the people we grew close with in the span of the last 9 months.
This last blogpost will certainly resonate as the conclusion of these 9 months spent here.In a week’s time, I won’t be taking the ferry across Karşıyaka to Pasaport as I’ve done so many times over the last few months, but rather turning my back on Çeşme and setting my sights on Chios, Greece then Italy and finally setting foot in France.

How can spontaneous mentoring be professionalized? Discover the key steps to building a sustainable and impactful mentoring program.
Hi, my name is Dorin and for the last 6 months, I have been a volunteer in Kielce, Poland. Kielce is a small city stationed between Warsaw and Krakow, it is very calm and peaceful compared to the big cities.
Everything began when I found this project on the ESC portal and arrived in Latvia on the 15th of September. From day one, I had to start from scratch—learning how to work in a youth center, manage social media, and connect with local youth. It was all new to me, but somehow, it felt like I belonged there right away. Years ago, I was in Latvia for an Erasmus program in Latgale (Daugavpils); this time, I was exploring the beautiful western Zemgale region.
