My Name is Lionel, I\u2019m from Munich, Germany and I will be volunteering in the beautiful city of Krakow at IB Polska for the next months. A couple of years ago I spent a year in Canada and while it wasn\u2019t always easy, it was an extremely enlightening and life-changing experience. So when I graduated from high school, I wanted to do something difficult and inspiring again. After I heard about the ESC, I was really intrigued because I love the EU\u2019s opportunity and want to help others.&nbsp;<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A little bit about myself: I love trying new things, going outside of my comfort zone and changing my life. I also love Europe and its culture and hope to get to know Poland and especially Krakow a lot better. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IB Polska seems a well-organized organisation with a wide array of programs and I hope to be able to do my part in it. I also love the international community that I have found in this program. While this is only the beginning of my journey here, I am very motivated and looking forward to the rest. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Bild-2024-09-30-um-11.51.39_68b540e4-1-960x933.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4331\" width=\"410\" height=\"328\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, the city of Krakow seems really vibrant and fun and I can\u2019t wait to get to know it better!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Personal quote: &#8220;Do it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Article&nbsp;<strong>Lionel Mach-Hour,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European Solidarity Corps volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Welcoming article from European Solidarity Corps volunteers from 02\/09\/2024<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">Dzie\u0144 Dobry!
