My experience in the Czech Republic until now is going very well.

I love my project, I love my place, I love everything, but last week I was on midterm course, and it was so beautiful because i met again the evs volunteers from different country of Europe who live my same experience here in the Czech Republic.

We were in a small village called Rozmberk in the southeast of the Czech Republic, near the Austria's border. I think that this village seemed magical because every night, at the stroke of midnight began to snow until dawn, then during the day the snow melted.

It was great to deal with them, to know how their experience is going and tell mine. It was good to experiment with them, know the deeper side of each of them through the games that the staff proposed every day.

Sometimes we know people for years, but in reality we do not know who they really are, but here it seems the opposite...we know recently but sometimes know things of those people that maybe none of their closest friends know.

I think this is possible because there is not as if we were living our real life, as if we really were here, without concern for the people's prejudices.

Also it was nice to learn more about the traditions typical for the Czech Republic, the festival, the singers who have made the history of this country, the various conflicts throughout the history.

I wish that this experience can be experienced by many young people, so that they can learn and understand new cultures, new places and new people, and I hope also that in the future we can be together to solve the global problems... the union is strength!

I know it's a tough battle, but I am convinced that if each of us started to work together we can manage successfully.
