A Maltese volunteer in Finland

I'm Lisa from Malta, and I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer in Nykarleby, Finland, for five months with their local council. I mainly worked at a kindergarten, ran workshops on multiculturalism and solidarity, and helped with a summer camp. 

But beyond these tasks, the experience taught me so much more—like how to be independent and push myself out of my comfort zone. I believe the workshops really helped kids understand and appreciate the different cultures in their community.

I highly recommend the European Solidarity Corps to anyone who can do it. It’s an experience that helps you grow, make new friends, and connect with Europe on a deeper level.
