It has now been four months since I arrived in Izmir as an Erasmus volunteer, and each day continues to bring its share of learning, challenges, and discoveries. This second chapter of my journey is marked by smoother adaptation to my role as a volunteer, enriching travels, and a daily life that is slowly finding its rhythm.
Merhaba everyone! I’m Sarra, a 22-year-old French woman who just graduated with a bachelor’s degree and recently became a short-term volunteer with Pi Youth Association. Let me share my experience in Izmir with you and how I came to this decision.
As I look back on the past three months, it’s hard to believe how much has happened. When I first arrived in Izmir, I was filled with a mix of excitement and uncertainty, unsure of what this chapter would bring. Now, this city and the experiences I’ve had here feel like a central part of my journey.
Welcome to my second blog post about my live as a volunteer in Türkiye. The last two months have been a period of adjustment and growth. Since my first blog post two months ago, I’ve become more settled in my role as a
volunteer with Pi Youth Association in Izmir, Türkiye. In this post, I’ll reflect on how my work has progressed, how a trip to the southeast gave me a new perspective on the country, and how daily life here has taken shape.
Being a European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteer in Izmir for a year is turning out to be an incredible experience. Each month brings new challenges, adventures, and personal growth, and I’m thrilled to share some highlights of my journey.
Selam dear reader, and welcome back to my Izmir report! Two months have passed since my last blog post, and a lot has happened. New workshops, new places, and new people have impacted my last weeks, and a more or less consistent daily life has evolved itself.
Hi, it’s me again, Helen from Germany. I am already in my fourth month here in Izmir, working with Pi Youth Association. It’s unbelievable how fast the time has passed and how much has happened. Let me summarize it for you:
It felt like yesterday that I wrote my last Blogpost- the days and weeks are passing by so fast. The past weeks have been exciting and challenging at the same time. For the first time in my life, I had food poisoning which was an unpleasant surprise. Especially because it happened two times in the past weeks so from now on I will be a little bit more careful.
We never really know what adaptation is. Every time we think we’ve finally got the key, we’re faced with new challenges that sometimes require us to overcome our own thought patterns and habits. But I love challenges!
Merhaba!My name is Manon, I am French and 22 years old. I recently completed my Bachelor’s degree in Design but wasn’t sure what to do next. That’s when I discovered the ESC program. I came across Pi Youth Association’s mission, and was drawn to their vision and goals, so I decided to apply.
