From EVS to EuroPeers: what a journey!

My EVS opened me to a new country  which I knew pretty much nothing about, a new language with whom I fell in love and also discovered a new professional field, museology.

Indeed, I was a volunteer in Lithuania, in Vilnius Toy Museum which hosts toys from Middle-Ages until 20^th century.

It enabled me to make a change in my career and to get straight after a part-time job working in another Toy museum in my home country. It changed my life because it changed the way I perceive things, travelling and living abroad with growing openness and cultural awareness. The EVS was also my first experience abroad as a volunteer with reduced mobility and showed me what I was able to do and to achieve in spite of health issues – Real skills for life!

 I’m at the moment, part of the EuroPeers Advisory Group (EAG) which is a perfect way of tackling topics that mean a lot to me, inclusion and sustainability on the other hand among many other things. Indeed ,we have furthermore a consultancy role and can give advice on networks progress and improvement.

I now really feel included in the EuroPeers international network and hope for the future to join the EuroPeers as a professional activity or keep volunteering.

Anything can happen with the EuroPeers…
