And after the week of mid-term evaluation meeting, full of motivation, inspiration and a lot, really a lot of new contacts, we are turning back to our EVs usual business. The media portal is getting more concrete, with its new guise, thanks to Ivan and the contribution of our audience on the surveys we are getting better, we try every day.
About the contacts we raise during the meeting, you can see immediately the results. In the beginning of this week we have chance to meet Jorge, a EVS volunteer from Spain, he is currently during his EVS here in Sofia. He has a background in psychology studies, Ewa take chance to organize an interview with him where they talk about homesickness and other common situations would happen during any EVS. I have chance to enjoy this interview “from the other side”, I have my experience with a new camera the quality results are huger than before, and you can see them already published! I feel myself more and more comfortable in this side of the camera, but is our audience to decide which role will fit better to me.
Thanks to Zahari and his personal contacts I have chance to understand better direction of my personal project, soonly I can make the step forward to make it real. I will have the chance to try my small enterprise here in Bulgaria. According to some people, my project is very ambitious, but with right knowledge and some tricks given by experts, I hope it will be achievable.
The time of our EVS is flying away; you can see our media contributions every day. Other innovations will be announce soon, stay tuned!
I write these words now that I have returned to my daily life in Italy although it is strange to think that this adventure is already over.
Thanks to the Erasmus project I was able to spend three months in Sofia to carry out my curricular internship at ICDET. My internship took place mainly in the human resources department where I was able to put into practice the knowledge developed at university and compare myself for the first time with the world of work. I worked on the creation or improvement of evaluation forms for training courses, helped for the organization of interviews and creation of materials for social media, creation and management of ice breakers for events ... but this experience was not only work.
I chose to go abroad because I wanted to get out of my "comfort zone" and prove to myself that I could do it. It was not easy, especially at the beginning, because for the first time I found myself alone in a country that I did not know and in which I could not even read. I had to face many challenges including the biggest one: believing in myself and not being afraid of making mistakes.
Speaking in public, making me film to produce a video, deciding independently on what and how to work may seem very trivial things, but not for me. Erasmus allowed me to meet many fantastic people, discover a new country, do things that I would not have done in Italy and above all grow as a person.
When people tell you that it will be the best experience of your life they are right, it does not count the country, the distance, the problems that surely will be there ... Erasmus changes you even when it ends.
That's why there will always be a piece of Sofia in me and not just in my name
