Mid-Term Training

Like Joanna already mentioned in her last post, the two of us were on our mid-term training. Time is really running!

For explanation: Part of the EVS-programme is to participate on 4 trainings. 2 in your homecountry (before you go to the project & after you come back home) and 2 in the country where you're doing your EVS. Maybe you remember that Joanna and I went last October to our "on-arrival training" where we met a lot of other volunteers from different countries and got some advice for our stay in the Czech Republich (for those who don't remember it check this out).
So last week we were packing our things for 5 days in SEBUZIN, a very small village close to Usti nad Labem. After our experience in Rakovice (on-arrival training) without heating but with mice, we all hoped to come to a nicer place - and our wish was fulfilled. We stayed in a very, very nice place with heating, tasty food and very friendly people (http://centrum.originalatok.cz/).

We've met most of the volunteers from our last training again and had a lot of time to share our experience.

-How are you? homesick or not?
-How is your project?
-Have you travelled a lot (and where)
-....

So we had a lot of stuff to talk about and got some new ideas for the rest of our stay in the Czech Republic. Besides we had some workshops concerning our work (e.g ideas for conversation clubs) and our freetime (e.g.nice places to visit). We've made as well a trip to Litomerice & Usti nad Labem.

So all in all a nice training with nice people :)
