New experiences every day

I am Laura and I volunteered with the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) at the youth information centre "Centre Information Jeunes" in Luxembourg. There I mainly worked for the youth newspaper "SLAM!-D'Zeitung fir déi Jonk", doing different editorial tasks and getting a deep insight into the editorial work, as well as different journalistic activities. For example, I wrote articles for the newspaper, but also accompanied the entire process of creating a newspaper from the selection of topics to the final print. In addition, I was able to participate in various tasks in cooperation with the "Youth Parliament" of the Conférence Générale de la Jeunesse du Luxembourg, where I learned a lot about working with young people.

For me, the ESC was one of the best experiences I have had so far. I learned an incredible amount of things every day, both about the country, about the different languages, and about myself. I also met wonderful people and made wonderful friends with people from all over Europe. Also within my placement and during my volunteering, I learned a lot every day, which encourages and motivates me until today to get involved especially in the field of informal youth work.
