Blondies Lost in Spain

We are extremely happy to let you know that one big goal of our project is reached and we are ready with our very first book - "Activity book"! During European Solidarity Corps project the volunteers have personal project which could be an event, some workshop or like our case - an infomaterial, booklet or book about something. Both of us have had years of experience with different nonformal educational activities but not a good book to have them all close to us when needed. Now it's here! 52 pages of games, methods, tips and joy! Download your Activity book here and enjoy while playing these activities! And remember: "Best adventures come to those who play together!" Abrazos, Angela & Fiia

In 2010 I graduated from high school and I remember that I started looking for voluntary projects abroad. I had a very strong desire to move abroad but I am not completely sure where it came from. But this desire stayed inside me for many many years. During the years I had the opportunity to work as a au pair, study abroad and also to be part of EVS. But always something came up and I didn’t take a chance and leave. But this way I really understood how important this dream was. Some years later, in 2018 I participated in a shorter voluntary project in Egypt and when I came from there I had this feeling that this past month was so amazing but also too short. I want more! This was the kick that I needed. Immediately I started looking for longer projects and finally found this very interesting project near Madrid in a smaller town that I didn’t know how to pronounce. I had to call my spanish speaking friend to tell me how ‘Majadahonda’ is pronounced. With this, maybe you understand...

Becoming an European Solidarity Corps volunteer was a dream which had been growing inside of me for many years. I grew up in a community where international volunteers from some other European country working in a local youth center were part of my everyday life. So I also knew myself already at the age of 14 - one day I will do something like that! I will also challenge myself, become a member of a community, team and place which I don’t know. Better yet - which culture, language and people I don’t know and I will see where it will carry me.  It carried me to the best adventures, learnings and changes ever. I knew that when the time comes to choose where I would like to make my voluntary dream come true, it will be, as a contrast for my northern background, one southern country. Spain has interested me since I was teenager, since my very first international youth exchanges when I met some amazing Spanish people. I felt like I have a lot to learn from Spanish people and their ...

Hello dear readers! Happy that you have found our blog. And we are happy to introduce you some of our most amazing moments of our European Solidarity Corps voluntary project from November 2019 to May 2020 in amazing Majadahonda, Spain. Enjoy timetraveling with us! Counting my blessings in Navacerrada. Angela went hiking with local Erasmus students and foreigners. Very first night in Spain and knowing already that it will be one great adventure! Angela, Fiia and 2018/2019 volunteer Vasil. While abroad, other foreigners become your friends more easily than back home. While abroad, you both come from the same place. From somewhere far away. Stronger together! Angela and Fiia on their way to Alicante airport while leaving Spain in May 2020. Light blue sky full of light blue dreams in Toledo. Discovered how fun you can make learning new things! Time for podcast recording. We went to discover and got to know Spain but as you can see,...
