EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY CORPS / ESC 2022/2023

Meet our new volunteers and interns who in 2022/2023 will join CIM Horizons activities as a part of the European Solidarity Corps and the EPICUR projects.

Viddy

INDONESIA

Hey! I am Viddy from the city of Bandung, in West Java, Indonesia. I am a student of Erasmus Mundus Master’s program in European Society, Politics and Culture in France, Poland, and the Netherlands. Education is my key area of research and it also lies in my principle and belief that everyone should be able to achieve their education without boundaries anywhere they want. To enable that principle I believe in the importance of tolerance and connection beyond cultures. Of course, this value cannot be achieved alone, that is why I decided to intern for CIM Horizons which has the same vision to expand the horizons among cultures. I am so excited to introduce my culture and also learn from others because the world is just too big to stay in your comfort cultural capsule!

Francisco

PORTUGAL

Hello, my name is Francisco, but you can call me Chico. I’m coming from Porto, Portugal. I identify myself as he/him. Currently, at 24 years old, I just finished my Bachelor’s degree and I’m looking for adventures. I am passionate about traveling and guiding those who share it with me. Aspiring in photography, design, interculturality, support the others, and human rights.

I just joined CIM Horyzonty for this new path in my life. I think it’s going to change my life in a positive way. And I couldn’t be more thankful for this opportunity. Being around what I like the most, good company, challenges, and work to be done.

I’m ready for what it takes and make a huge difference in my life.

Yosr

TUNISIA

Hello! My name is Yosr, 26, from Tunisia. I’m a nature lover and I love meeting people and exploring new places. I am on a journey in life where I aspire to inspire young people to go deeper into themselves and explore their real self, away from what has already been decided for them as a Truth.

Different cultures, beliefs, and languages fascinate me because the more we dig deeper, the more similarities we find in those differences. I want to relearn to follow my heart and give the possibility for others to have the choice to do the same.

Dani

GALICIA (SPAIN)

Ola!! My name is Dani, I am 23 years old, I am from A Coruña, in Galicia, north-west Spain. I recently finished my studies in Political Science. I am mainly interested in International Politics so I like to discover new realities and cultures so I can understand better the social and political realities of the countries I visit. That was one of the reasons I picked this project, because of the curiosity I had about Poland.

Apart from this, I am a great lover of theatre, cinema, and photography, so I will love to share this with everyone who wants during this time, so let´s go!! See you all

Nihal

TURKEY

Hello Lovely People!

My name is Nihal. I am 21. I am from Turkey! I’m a psychologist. I want to be an international psychologist. For this, I need to know many cultures and think about the behaviors of people from these cultures. It’s easier to communicate with adults from different cultures compared to communicating with children from different cultures. But this time it is exciting to communicate with children from different cultures! Volunteering in Cim Horyzonty is one of the best steps on this path. By the way, I lived in Poznan for a year before. This city is mind-blowing! I am so happy to start a new adventure in this city

I attach great importance to my social life as well as my professional life and I know I’m in the right country to have fun!

Karina

UKRAINE

My name is Karina (24) and I come from Ukraine. I got a bachelor’s degree in German Philology and a master’s degree in Lexicography. I love teaching, reading books, traveling, and listening to music. I have some experience in teaching English to kids and adults. I decided to participate in ESC by CIM Horyzonty to get new experiences, make new acquaintances, and work in the international environment. Furthermore, I want to help people in local communities and learn new tools, how can I make it work in my native country.

Evi

THE NETHERLANDS

Hello everyone!

My name is Evi. I’m 23 years old and I’m from The Netherlands. I love to go out with friends, travel, see new places and meet new people. I graduated from college last June and now I’m looking for an adventure. That’s why I joined the CIM Horyzonty team. I think this year will be challenging, fun, amazing, adventurous and so much more. Poznan is a great city for this new step I’m taking. I’m ready for this new chapter in my life!

działania

Our goals are to initiate, run and support educational, social and cultural activities by and for the local community. Through establishing intercultural dialogues between representatives of different groups and cultures, we want to contribute to the creation of a world without hatred: a world built on care and the intention of understanding one another. This starts in our own backyard, but reaches far beyond the horizon.

Małe kobietki: reprezentacja kobiecości w XIX i XXI wieku

11 August 2022 2022/2023

Szczególnie wśród klasyków skuteczność tej postaci Bildungsroman objawia się długowiecznością lub siłą przetrwania, często niosąc ...
