Hello everyone,
I am Libera, the European volunteer at PJR.
I live and work in Dresden for 6 months. It makes me sad when I think that in six months I will have to leave this beautiful city and this good organization, which gave me the opportunity to do this year abroad.
Within the PJR, I have participated in various workshops ranging from the Nazi period to extremism in Germany where I was able to learn much more about German politics, also due to the fact that there were two elections since my arrival here. Then I also took part in Actionbound tours through the city with videos, photos and quizzes covering various topics, including the history and times of the GDR.
In the office, I like to make new things to use my creativity and also to get more skills with the computer.
Here in the office I feel very comfortable; they are friendly and helpful.
As far as my life here in Dresden is concerned, I have found some friends with whom I can sometimes go out and speak German, in general I like the youthful life of this city very much because it is fresh and beautiful.
I like to spend my time doing sports or going to the gym.
In October, I attended a seminar in Bremen where I had the opportunity to make international friendships that currently live in different cities of Germany. This is very interesting for me because it gives me the opportunity to visit my friends, but at the same time to discover more and more Germany. So far I have been in Berlin, Rostock, Bremen and Hamburg.
In mid-March I am attending another seminar in Weimar and hope to make more friends so that I can discover the beautiful corners of Germany on my travels.
This experience helps me a lot, I am from Italy and don’t really feel like going to university, now, thanks to the work that I’m experiencing at PJR, I would like to study in the social field.
We keep our fingers crossed!
