Hello! I’m Firas and I came to Poland on the 13 September 2022 , coming from Tunisia to start my first volunteering experience and traveling abroad for the first European country and city that lived on it until this day Krakow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\u00a0first impressions was that country was so cold to me, because I used\u00a0\u00a0to live in very hot country (more than 45 degrees), it was already 20 degrees when I arrived\u00a0\u00a0there and it took me time until I start get using on this weather,\u00a0but I was surprised\u00a0by\u00a0the city and the atmosphere around it, the green areas, the castles, the museums, the technology and how much this country is evolved compared\u00a0\u00a0to mine.\u00a0For the first couple\u00a0of\u00a0months, I didn\u2019t believe I am living here it was wonderful dream and\u00a0this dream\u00a0begun\u00a0when I started\u00a0working\u00a0at\u00a0my Primary School Alexsandry no. 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I start working in this school as assistant to the English teachers, helping the students, speaking with them in English and\u00a0they\u00a0even teach me how to speak in polish, we did also some cultural exchange; I knew about their culture, religion, holidays, way of living. As exchange I did the same for them – I was like a window for them and polish society. Because they doesn\u2019t have any idea about it. I was help the other teachers in other topics\u00a0like Spanish,\u00a0sport, history, geography and even music. Additionaly I did a lot of tasks for them such as doing presentations ( Ex.”Tortilla de patatas” and “Educational system in Tunisia”); being judge for events such as music \/ food \/ sport\u00a0\u00a0competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact I enjoyed to spend time in this school – I never think I will do it before in my country: traveling in school trips (visiting with pupels Berlin (Germany), visiting Auschwitz Museum); celebrating event such as saint Patrick\u2019s day, spend time with small kids in many trips such as\u00a0\u00a0“Wis\u0142a city”, eating ice-cream with them. It was really wonderful experience to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also ejoyed the multiple activities I did with my hosting organization \u2013 Internationaler Bund Polska. With other volunteers from different nationalities, we did and took part in a lot of workshops (ex. our hosting organization prepear for us – “Learning how to learn”, “Learn how to be more consious about ecology with recycling the stuff we have”). Also we were speaking about: our personal volunteering experience at school in general; what is our next steps after this phase in our life (such as working or studying). We did many-many events and spend long time together getting knowing each other, explore the other culture of our country, discover the city and explore the polish culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My organization also helped me to learn polish by giving me free polish lessons course (the polish lessons was a part of ESC program) and\u00a0they\u00a0gave me the materials to learn and improve myself with\u00a0them. I\u00a0still have difficulty\u00a0speaking\u00a0polish but in the other hand its also open to me the door to get knowing more polish people around me and doing the daily life routing more easily. I was\u00a0also\u00a0helping the organization in\u00a0other project like the\u00a0“Carousel event”, delivery staff\u00a0etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My volunteering\u00a0\u00a0journey will end in August but the journey will continue. I love living in Poland,\u00a0especially in Krakow,and I will be miss this experience. But its already part of me, I am not the same person as I was when I started this journey. I learned many things and I still learning until this day. I made\u00a0many friends and a lots of happy memories that I cannot forget. I will try to use this experience as a base and it can support to me in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank for reading me and see you!
