Behind ESC

Five weeks with ESC

Here we are with our last episode! During this adventure together we tried to watch the European Solidarity Program through different angles, mainly from a theoretical point of view. But one good reason why we decided to create a podcast was 'cause we wanted to share what we are doing!  So, in the last episode of Young and Free with ESC we all are gonna talk about our project (yes, also Raúl! 😉) Thanks so much to each and every person that contributed to this podcast: To my wingman, my English expert and wonderful co-host Ern 💜 To Raúl with his immense patience and irreplaceable technical knowledge 💚 To our visual support Camila [https://instagram.com/camilaschuliaquer?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=], my bro 💙 We cannot forget to mention Raúl and Ern's organisations,  they provided us with microphones and the other items we used for recording: OŠ Prestranek [https://www.os-prestranek.si], OŠ Miroslava Vilharja Postojna [https://www.miroslav-vilhar.si] and MCP Postojna [https://www.mcp.si].  Here's their's Instagram account [https://instagram.com/volunteeringprojects?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=] from which they share the activities they carry out.

Family without a name

Family is usually the first contact children have with their reality, the support system, the one who (hopefully) are giving instructions to make kids strong and free to experiment.  But what would you get if you go abroad for the first time? When you feel like a newbie in a new country and you don't know the language, the "system" in which you're gonna live in and whatever other information you could possible need during your stay.  In this episode we're gonna start talking about the system (that we could dare call family sometimes) European Commission has built to support each volunteer during their activities; by that we mean the tutoring, trainings, the language support (which we already anticipated in the previous episode). Furthermore we're gonna explain what Youth Pass and the certificate for participation are and mentioning the Visas.   Aaaaaaand remember remember! This podcast is designed to be helpful for both people that would like to start this programme, but also for volunteers that are already in. So if you feel like sharing your experience, don't esitate to contact us!
