"Nights for Europe"

Since the end of September until December 2010, Barbara, Guillaume, Veronika and I, doing our EVS at the same moment at Generator, have organised the so-called Nights for Europe, formed by 8 sessions every Wednesday, treating about European issues: The EU-an overview; History of Europe; The EU functioning and its institutions; Youth in Europe; Slovakian night, French night; Portuguese night and Serbian night. This project can be considered as a successful one. In fact, we managed to considerably increase the number of participants from the first night (8 young participants) to the last nights (more or less20 people).

These nights were usually 2 hours long and were composed of Power-point presentations, interactive and educational games and movies.

Among the most interesting nights were the ones where each of the nationalities represented (Serbs, French, Portuguese and Slovakian) made a presentation of their own countries. For the first time in 6 months, I was able to actually show something about my culture and my country, even if it was in a narrow manner.

Moreover, the young  Serbian participants shared with us a bit more about the country which had been hosting me for the last 6/7 months.

It was undoubtedly a very positive experience which, I hope, will be repeated in the future!
