I have just taken part in my On-Arrival Trainingas part of the European Voluntary Service programme. I took part in 6 days of activities and met many other volunteers from all over Europe, who will also be working on various projects within the Czech Republic this year.
The training took place in a centre for ecological and outdoor education called Chaloupky, which is around 30 minutes away from Jihlava. While we were there we made many games and group sessions in the centre, learnt about our role as volunteers and took advise on working as a team.
As part of the activities we were given the chance to make a workshop for the other volunteers, and I took the opportunity to teach a group how to juggle! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed sharing my skill with the participants, who in fact were very quick to learn and I was happy to see them able to juggle by the end of the session.
I hope that the group will remain friends throughout the year and we will maintain contact after the EVS. It was a great experience and I would like to thank the trainers, Honza, Bara and Karol for their leadership and advise, as well as the great staff at Chaloupky who made it a fantastic week for all involved!
