Intervju s poljskima EVS prostovoljkama

Včeraj smo opravili intervju z dvema EVS prostovoljkama s Poljske (Kasia in Justyna), ki sta obiskali že Zlet, sedaj pa sta z ostalimi 9 Poljaki prisotni tudi na našem taboru. Sami nista tabornici, zato nas je še bolj zanimalo njuno videnje tukajšnjega dogajanja.

Can you tell us some general stuff about yourselves, who are you, why are you here, what do you do back at home?

We're EVS volunteers from Poland, we helped with preparing your national jamboree (Zlet), here we help cleaning the bathroom and dining area, we painted the fence and we collect wood for evening fires. In Poland we're both volunteers in an information centre, where we work as consultants for a project called Sempre a frente. We coordinate youth exchanges and some workshops for children. We work in 5 different groups: children with special needs, pathology families, flash mobs (colorful group), working with volunteers to be more open and organizing public events (magic group) and organizing training courses about communication, youth politics … Together we coordinate youth exchanges, EVS volunteering …

What do you think about scouts, what's your impression of us, do you consider becoming a scout yourself?

It's our first time sleeping in tents because in our group there's only one scout (our group leader). But all in all it's a good, positive experience, a chance to learn some more. We would definitely do it again, maybe even in Poland, so yes, we consider becoming scouts back at home.

Do you know anything about scouts in Poland, what do you think about them?

We don't know any scouts from Poland, so we don't really know much, they don't really appear in media a lot.

Before coming here, you were at our national jamboree (Zlet). How was it, how was it different from here?

On the national jamboree we were staff members, we prepared meals, workshops about Poland, polish songs and yoga. The main difference is that here we feel totally different, but we don't know what's better. Zlet was fantastic because it was our first experience with scouts, but here it's like back at home, the atmosphere is very good. Here we have more free time, we had more activities on jamboree.

Who's better looking, polish guys or slovenian guys?

We don't know, probably both pretty much the same. People are very similiar in both countries.

Do you have anything else to say?

Before EVS we were afraid how it will be, because we have never slept in a tent before, but when we came here, we felt better because our group cooperates very well and now we don't want to go home and go back to school (luckily we'll be here for two more weeks).
