Hungary, Portugal, France, Austria, Spain, Basque, Poland, Germany and Italy. When nine people from different european countries sit around a table, it's either a small political conference, or a happy gathering of European Solidarity Corps volunteers.
Last weekend we visited our colleagues in Cingoli. They are ESC volunteers with the Italian Red Cross and Vicolocorto is also responsible for their project. Until now, we only knew each other from stories of our common mentor Giulia and a small online competition about the Eurovision Songcontest. That's why we were very happy to finally meet in person.
A joint city walk through the beautiful Cingoli (it absolutely deserves the name "Balcone delle Marche"!), the obligatory stop at the ice cream parlour, dinner at the pizzaria and card games until late at night. Little by little, we got to know each other better: Nine young people from nine countries with different ages, languages, backgrounds, interests and plans. Looking at it this way, isn't it amazing and great?π
Finally, we went for a little hike the next day. On white sheets in front of a breathtaking panorama, we had a picnic together and enjoyed the sun and life. And then our visit was already over.
Thank you guys, for the lovely weekend, your hospitality and good company π
For those whose projects end now: All the best for your future!
And to those who`re staying a bit longer: Maybe see you soon!
