EVS in Pomiechówek

CZEŚĆ ! I'm Chl éo, my mother in Hungarian, my father is Spanish. I lived for 18 years in Valencia in Spain, but I moved to Toulouse (France) for my studies. I studied a multidisciplinary course with literature, mathematics, sociology, economy, history, geography, philosophy and English and Spanish actuality.  Since really like books I decided to work as a volunteer in a library.

  Project Update Hey everyone! I know, it's been quite some time since I posted. Here's a little video I made during a Mid Term Training a couple weeks ago. We were asked to display our typical afternoon activities in our workplace so we could share our experience with the group. Hope you enjoy this little insight, though it's just a small part of what we're usually up to. I'll have to update this blog by the end of August for sure, to provide a complete retrospective on my project, and I'm already writing it so catch you soon! :') alice
