A day more..

A new day at Las Palmas, which as well was full with interesting things like the previous ones. According to the program we had to go to the university and speak about the immigration. We, like Greek peoples, know enough about immigration as we have a lot of immigrants and i thought it would be one normal information but I was wrong. It was something more than just one normal information.

We saw the problem of immigration from another way of view. We saw it from the eyes of the immigrants, the difficulties they have to face during the trip to the "better world". We saw that a lot of them get caught from the police and some others have tragic ends. The ones that arrive to their desired destination, are trying to get in to the normal life and when they earn some money, they send them directly to their families to help their people to take the risk and do the "trip of freedom". When the presentation ended I was so surprised with the things I had just learnt. It was great.

After that, we went back to the city for lunch and once again, it was delicious like every time.
But the day didn’t end and we had so many things to do. After lunch we went to the Canteras beach and we met there the children from the Foster house. All of them seemed to be so nice guys. At first we played one game to learn each other’s names and after that we made teams including kids from the Foster house and us. We started to play different games like football, volleyball and rugby. It was so interesting because even though we couldn't speak Spanish, we could understand each other very good. It was amazing. The children were so friendly and nice with us. I took from them so many and good fillings and I hope I gave something to them as well.

Then we went back to the hostel and we had our conversation; we expressed our fillings, thoughts, opinions about the day we had. It was so nice to hear other people’s opinions and to express yours.


At the end of every day I was full of greats fillings and lot of knowledge and for me this is better than the typical school. I'm so glad that i took part at this. Thanks!!!

Let's dance!

On Tuesday evening we visited the Down Syndrome people in their place again. It was really nice to feel how much they appreciated our presence there. All of them remembered all our faces and were really keen to hug us when they saw us.

What was really sorprising for us was the fact that while we were waiting outside of the building, one of the guys (Álvaro) reached us from distance and shouted our names while he was still far away. It's also really amazing that he was just walking alone and listening to music while we have the stereotype that this people are unable to be autonomous somehow.

Afterwards while we were under the building we met people with Down Syndrome we haven't met before and it was amazing how friendly they were and how much they were willing to give us love without as they knew us for a long time.

The main aim of our visit was to show and also teach them traditional dances from our countries. At first, we were a bit confused about what to present but soon we chose an easy slow dance. By that time we thought that it would be extremely difficult for them to follow us. Whereas when we started dancing after a few minutes everyone in the room knew all the steps.

About the most amazing came later when they announced us that they had prepared something to show to us and they were so excited. The first dance was an Argentinian "Tango" which really was the most amazing "Tango" we have ever seen in a live performance. They did not only dance but performed roles like actors. A girl was sitting in a chair pretending that she was smoking and the man tried to seduce her. Afterwards all the others came in pairs to show us other dances like Samba, Flamenco, Salsa, etc. The moment that both we and they enjoyed the most was when they all started dancing together and we were clapping in order to support them and then we all saw the happiness in their faces.

Last but not least, a girl from India asked her teacher if she could dance a traditional Indian dance for us and she was really passioned to show us her roots and we all saw while she was dancing. When we were about to live, a girl named Nara approached us, hugged us and asked us to give greetings to our tall friend Kostas that the day before were playing together bowling, and she really looked like she was going to miss us.

When we have to say goodbye to all of them, it was hard because they gave us the feelings that no adult that you know for such a short time cannot give you.

What these guys taught us on this evening was that perhaps they cannot express themselves with words but they can do it in a strongger way, a way that we don't usually remember. They express themselves through emotions, hugs and kisses, things that we don't really appreciate and for them are such an important actions. It is really helpful for their lives that they learn to express themselves with words but shouldn't we also remember these kind of feelings?

Some thoughts

Day 2, Tuesday 13th (despite the fact that it is already Day 4... but we are in Spain and have to adjust somehow :) )

The group of smiling and shining volunteers (including me) from 4 different European countries started the day with an early trip to one little and lovely factory. In this factory people are baking cookies but these are not ordinary cookies, these ones are made by care, patience and vast of love.
Did you know that also people with Down syndrome have to work, create and earn in order to survive? And I had the opportunity to see those people in action, busy with, and responsible for execution of orders they have for the Christmas time. The representative of "Canela&Clavo" (hope that it is the correct name of the company) was so kind and honest to reveal us the reality of making "business" where people with Down syndrome are involved. For me it was sad to hear that they have to struggle so much in today's market, without having any support from authorities. But they are strong and full of dedication to the work they do, therefore I simply admire them. I have never seen such enthusiastic and energetic workers who never stop smiling. The level of their life satisfaction increases by simple everyday's activities that sometimes I don't appreciate enough - involvement in the labor market, having duties and responsibilities, being in the society, having communication, making relationship, friendship etc.
And when I tried these cookies, I fell in love with them at the same moment. You cannot imagine how delicious they are unless you taste them. I will never forget Dora's smiling face distributing the sweets that she and her colleagues baked.

The one thing is the admiration of people with Down syndrome in today's world but I can't not to mention my feelings that are connected to the participants of the project. I am very happy and proud of all of us, of AEGEE community, for tolerance, understanding and our free will to raise awareness about this situation. I really hope that this experience will change our perception and break prejudices about the world and people living in it.

Voluntarily yours,
Diana

Primeras impresiones (ES)


De las raíces a las frutas...
¿Que qué quiere decir esto? ¡Pues que un nuevo evento de AEGEE acaba de comenzar!

6 armenias y armenios, 7 griegas y griegos, 7 letones y muchos españoles se han reunido en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria para disfrutar de un evento muy especial, un evento sobre el voluntariado. El objetivo principal es el de dar a conocer a las y los jóvenes los diferentes tipos de voluntariado que existen.

El primer día consistió en visitar un centro de personas con síndrome de Down (www.asdlp.org). No se trata de un centro que tan solo organiza actividades para estas personas, sino de un lugar en el que pueden descubrir su potencial y desarrollar sus capacidades para adentrarse en el mundo laboral.

Lo primero que hicieron fue presentarse y contarnos algunas cosas sobre su personalidad y las actividades en las que participan. Lo que más nos impresionó fue el hecho de que hablaran de sus sueños y planes de futuro, fue realmente estremecedor el escuchar a personas con síndrome de Down hablar de cómo pretenden cumplir sus objetivos en la vida. Sin duda, conseguirán integrarse en la sociedad.

La siguiente actividad consistió en la presentación de las y los participantes de Letonia; hablaron de su país, de su clima, del idoma letón, de su cultura y de sus tradiciones. Las personas con síndrome de Down mostraron un gran interés por el letón y tuvieron curiosidad por aprender algunas palabras. Lo que más les impresionó fue el ver que en Letonia también hay muchas playas pero que, a diferencia de las de Gran Canaria, están la mayor parte del tiempo cubiertas de nieve. También conocieron la moneda de Letonia.

Los siguientes en escena fueron las griegas y los griegos. Tras presentarse, mostraron imágenes de paisajes de Grecia y hablaron sobre diferentes aspectos de la civilización griega. Las personas con síndrome de Down quedaron muy sorprendidas e hicieron preguntas, ya que querían saber más acerca de Grecia, su historia y su mitología. Para terminar, bailaron todas y todos juntos el syrtaki, un baile tradicional griego. ¡Fue muy divertido!

Y por último, pero no por ello menos importante, el grupo de Armenia presentó su país y su historia. Una de las preguntas que tuvieron que contestar fue cómo de lejos está Armenia. Disfrutamos de un pequeño recorrido por el país a través de su música tradicional y mediante vídeos de paisajes.

La tarea de las personas con síndrome de Down fue presentar las Islas Canarias, algo que se habían preparado con anterioridad. Su presentación fue muy bonita y vino muy bien para que las y los participantes conocieran un poco más de cerca los impresionantes paisajes de estas islas.

Y para terminar, cantamos todos juntos una canción muy representativa de Canarias: “Vivo en un archipiélago”.

Tanto las y los participantes como las personas con síndrome de Down disfrutaron de una experiencia muy agradable y nadie quería que una mañana tan especial llegara a su fin. Pero por la tarde tuvieron la oportunidad de verse de nuevo, ¡esta vez para jugar a los bolos! Se formaron tres grupos formados tanto por participantes como por personas con síndrome de Down. Fue una experiencia inolvidable.

A las personas con síndrome de Down que participaron les encantó esta actividad y su sonrisa fue la mejor recompensa.

Tras esta lección tan importante acerca del voluntariado, ¡el voluntariado habrá ganado nuevas manos!

¡Estamos ansiosos por disfrutar de más días así!

First impressions (EN)

From the roots to the fruits...
What does this mean? That another amazing AEGEE event has just started!

A group of 6 Armenian, 7 Greeks, 7 Latvians and a lot of motivated Spanish people gathered in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to take part in a special event, an event about volunteering. The main purpose of this event is to raise awareness of different types of volunteering.

The first day began with a visit to a Down Syndrome centre (www.asdlp.org) where we had the opportunity to get in contact with Down Syndrome people. It was not just a centre which just organizes some extra activities for them, but a place where they could discover their own potentials and develop their capacities for the labour market.

At first, they introduced themselves and told us some things about their personality and their activities. The most impressive fact was when they talked about their dreams and their future plans. It was really touching listening to people with Down Syndrome trying to achieve their goals. Be sure they will manage to integrate into the society.

Afterwards, the Latvians presented their country and talked about their climate, the Latvian language, their culture and their traditions. The Down Syndrome people were really interested in Latvian language and they wanted to learn some words. What really impressed them was that in Latvia there are many beaches as well but, in contrast to Gran Canaria, they are most of the time covered with snow. What's more, they got to know the LAT, the Latvian currency.

Then, the Greeks appeared on stage. After introducing themselves, they showed pictures of landscapes and many aspects of the Greek civilization. Aside from this, the Down Syndrome people were amazed, so they started to make questions and wanted to know more about Greek history and mythology. At the end, they danced all together "Syrtaki" -a traditional Greek dance- and they had a lot of fun!


Last but not least, the Armenians introduced as well their country and their history. Questions about how far Armenia is were raised. We actually had a short "trip" to Armenia by listening to traditional music and watching videos of their landscapes.

And the task of the Down Syndrome people was to talked about the Canary Islands. They had previously prepared a very nice presentation which was great for the participants to know a little bit more about the amazing landscapes of these islands.

Finally, we had the opportunity to sing all together a very representative song from the Canary Islands "Vivo en un archipiélago..."

Both participants and Down Syndrome people had a very nice experience and we were very sad that this pleasant morning had come to an end. But in the afternoon we met again for a bowling game! We were divided in three teams consisted both from us and Down Syndrome people. It was an unforgetable experience.

Down Syndrome people were really excited about this activity and their smile was the best prize we could get!

After this significant lesson of volunteering, we are sure that at the end of this event the volunteering will have won many new and motivated active members!

We are looking forward for the next fascinating days!

Feelings (EN)

Blog entry from AEGEE- Riga, 14.12.2011

Yesterdays visit to bakery associates to me with words- motivation and hard work. Motivation of the people who works there, tries as best as they can and they are happy that someone are trusting them and giving opportunity to show that they can do and are doing very well (Cookies we tasted there were so delicious!)

Also I get a lot of inspiration from people who decided that there should be such kind of Bakery and they never gave up the dream to make one and even add some more aspects were people with Down syndrome could feel the same as any another people working to make coffee brakes in seminars or conferences.
After this I got the feeling, that coffee break thing definitely will not be the last successful project they are up to (Maybe even their own Coffee Shop to come?!) But this great example showed me how far from having something like that we- Latvia are. But now I also see some kind of solutions which could be made to work things out. (Aija Auzina)

It is awesome to feel that you can give so many emotions to people by just dancing with them. It is so nice to see that they try to feel the music, to sing along and catch all moves and they did very well. I was very surprised by the performances they had prepared. They tried to dance as professionals would do and they succeeded. I enjoyed the atmosphere that was in the air a lot- maybe not love, but the energy and openness. (Elmars Leja )

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU (for the organizers, who came up with the idea to organize this project with such a topic) for giving an opportunity to get an experience I had never had before. I have thought a lot about the people with Down syndrome but I had never communicated with them, but now I know for sure, that they are the same as we are, even more motivated then we.

Thank you guys.

Let´s get it started! - Opening of the event (EN)


Let´s get it started!

Today, Sunday 11th of December 2011, our highly awaited project has started. In order to take the best out of it, we must work as a team and stick together. The best way for starting is, of course, through ice-breaking-games.

AEGEE-Las Palmas chose for that the Plaza de Santo Domingo in Vegueta, the old-quarter of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. That was indeed the best place for the participants to start falling in love with our city.

Young people coming from Armenia, Latvia and Greece, together with the organizing team, from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, made a circle and used the symbol of the event, an orange, to throw it to each other as a way to start memorizing names.

Once the orange ended up squeezed, the game changed. This time it was about each and every one telling their names and doing a movement simultaneously the others were supposed to repeat. It was a good technique to make a relationship between names and faces and to let the roots grow.

The third game was the following: two people held a blanket and by every side of it there was one person. Once the blanket was let down, the people staying by the sides could see each other´s faces and had to tell the other´s name as fast as possible.

Another one: three lines. The participants had to put oneselves forming a line following some rules: alphabetically, according to their initials, size- and age-wise, etc.

And the afternoon went on with such games and dynamics to get off on the right foot.

Once the games were over, the group went back to the hostel and the presentation of the project took place. There was an introduction about AEGEE-Las Palmas´ objectives, future projects, activities... One of the organizers read the description of the project, the same one which was handed in to the National Agency, in order to make sure the participants knew which kind of collaboration is expected from them. Some videos on volunteering were played. One member of AEGEE-Las Palmas talked about her experiences on volunteering, another one played the timple, the most typical instrument from the Canary Islands, more videos were played and the participants got their welcome-pack (reusable farbic bag thanks to Binter Canarias, stickers both with the logo of the project and with AEGEE-Las Palmas logo, a map of the city, a programme of the event and a bag, a bum bag and a cap given by the Gobierno de Canarias. Almost in the end of the evening another member of AEGEE-Las Palmas, a dancer, took all her dancing team to do a performance. And lastly, the participants got their t-shirts.

Right after the opening, which was a big success and a great example of what team work is, the group of participants had some free time to rest after the long trip. They day ended with an enjoyable dinner which allowed them to keep on getting to know each other.

AEGEE-Las Palmas team´s faces shone with joy and enthusiasm. The idea which had been discussed so many times was then finally coming to fruition. In the end, something was starting to sprout from the seeds.

And this is just the beginning...

¡Manos a la obra! - Apertura del evento (ES)


¡Manos a la obra!

Hoy, domingo 11 de diciembre de 2011, empezó el tan ansiado proyecto. Para poder sacar lo mejor de él, tenemos que trabajar en equipo y hacer piña y qué mejor para ello que los ice-breaking-games o juegos para romper el hielo.

La Plaza de Santo Domingo en Vegueta, casco antiguo de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, fue el lugar elegido por AEGEE-Las Palmas. ¿Qué mejor escenario que ese para que las y los participantes se enamoren de nuestra ciudad?

Jóvenes venidos de Armenia, Letonia y Grecia, junto con el equipo organizador, de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, formaron un círculo y utilizaron el símbolo del evento, una naranja, para pasársela unos a otros e ir aprendiéndose los nombres.

Una vez exprimida la naranja, se recurrió al conocido juego que consiste en que cada uno diga su nombre a la vez que hace un movimiento que luego el resto tiene que repetir. Gran técnica para relacionar nombre con cara y que vayan naciendo las raíces.

El tercer juego fue el siguiente: dos personas sostienen una manta en el aire mientras que otras dos se sitúan cada una a un lado de ella. Cuando se baje la manta las personas que están a los lados tienen que decir el nombre de la otra lo más rápido posible.

Y otro más: se hacen tres filas y las y los participantes deben ordenarse, sin hablar, siguiendo diferentes criterios: orden alfabético de acuerdo con la inicial de su nombre, por tamaño, edad, etc.

Y así continuó la tarde, con juegos y dinámicas para empezar con buen pie.

Una vez finalizados, el grupo volvió al hostal y empezó la presentación del proyecto. Se presentó AEGEE-Las Palmas, sus objetivos, planes de futuro, actividades... Se leyó la descripción del proyecto que se envió a la Agencia Nacional para que las y los participantes tuvieran bien claro qué se espera de ellas y de ellos. También se pusieron vídeos relacionados con el voluntariado para ir entrando en materia. Una socia de AEGEE-Las Palmas comentó su experiencia como voluntaria, otro tocó el timple, más vídeos de voluntariado y reparto de la bolsa de bienvenida (bolsa de tela reutilizable gentileza de Binter Canarias, pegatinas con el logo del evento, pegatinas de AEGEE-Las Palmas, un mapa de la ciudad, un programa del evento, un imán de Gran Canaria gentileza del Patronato de Turismo del Cabildo de Gran Canaria y una mochila, una riñonera y una gorra cedida por el Gobierno de Canarias). Casi al final de la velada actuó el grupo de baile de otra socia de AEGEE-Las Palmas. Y, por último, se repartieron las camisetas.

Tras la apertura, que fue un éxito y un gran ejemplo de trabajo en equipo, el grupo de participantes tuvo algo de tiempo libre para descansar tras el viaje. El día terminó con una agradable cena para seguir conociéndose.

El equipo de AEGEE-Las Palmas desbordaba ilusión y entusiasmo. Por fin se había materializado esa idea que tanto se había discutido. Por fin empezaba a brotar algo de las semillas.

Esto es solo el comienzo...

Don’t waste your time : Volunteer! (EN)

« Volunteering has changed my life. It is funny to realize that, the more you give to the community, the more you actually receive back, whether it is on a direct or an indirect manner ».
So was saying a friend of mine in a discussion we had about being an active volunteer.

You might picture the volunteer as someone who dedicates a year, helping a local NGO in a far away country…But, actually, you don’t have to go that far to meet volunteers. They are all around us, sharing their time, presence, ideas and creativity with the communities their are living with.
There are so many ways to be a volunteer, that you might be surprised ! Whether it is by giving support to a specific group, by défending their rights, by organising short movies in order to raise awarness on an important issue, running an associative bar, or organising a conférence on climate change…they have all one thing in common. Their willingness to make a change in their society. May it be in their local community, in their group of friends, or in the whole world…volunteers believe that change shouldn’t wait, and that it must come from them.

In AEGEE, volunteers are a handful of motivated people willing to contribute to the creation of a united, respectful and tolerant society in Europe by promoting cultural exchange, encouraging the dialogue between young people from different cultures, and by giving them the opportunity to develop themselves as active citizens.

Through volunteering, people become more tolerant, respectful and socially conscious. Those values are needed in order to build a strong and integrated Europe, where their citizens are active and participative people. This is why the European Commission has decided to spend 2011 celebrating volunteering through the “European year of volunteering”. Light has been shed on those thousands of actions, smile shared and experience lived. Moreover, one of the objectives of this year was to improve the recognition of voluntary work in the society and in the business world. Mission accomplished?

Recognition of volunteering
Efforts have indeed been strenghened in order to reach a better recognition and structuration of volunteer work. The European Youth Forum, the Platform which défends youth’s rights, is, for instance, currently working on  a « Charter of the rights of the volunteers » defining the basic rights and responsibilities of volunteers. Yet, recognition of volunteering by the society and the labour market is still a battle to win. The Youth Pass has indeed been implemented by the European Commission, but it only concerns those activities taking place within the Youth In Action program.

We still have to fight for a real recognition of the numerous skills and knowhow that volunteer acquire through their involvement as well as for an academic recognition of non-formal education.

« but, if you are not being paid, why do you work ?» 
Many time, people inocently ask why we spend time, energy, often money, by working without being paid…
So why do people volunteer ?
It has to be a magical world for so many people deciding to freely give their energy and idea, hasn’t it. There are many explanation why people actually volunteer ! From the idealist hope to change the world for better, to improve the situation around us, to the more personal needs of being part of a group, finding people who share the same interests, each one finds what they want ! If you start volunteering, you will also realise that you actually learn a lot from the people you are going to be in contact with, about situations you were unaware of, about projects you never thought you could be leading…but above all, you will learn about yourself. About who you really are, and what really matters.

In a society sometimes too individualistic, where money has become the new salvation, we tend to forget that we are all connected and that generosity among one and another is both free and priceless.

Try it out, you will be surprised.

¿Cómo surge el proyecto? (ES)


El equipo de AEGEE-Las Palmas, tras haber organizado desde 2008 numerosos eventos cuyo objetivo principal era el intercambio cultural, ha decidido añadir un nuevo ingrediente a la receta de actividades.

Nos hemos dado cuenta de la importancia del voluntariado social y eso es justo lo que pretendemos promover. Sí, el voluntariado social será ese nuevo ingrediente, la fruta que AEGEE-Las Palmas añadirá a la receta. Nos gustan las frutas; están muy buenas, le dan color a nuestras vidas y son sanas.

Pero nosotros, como jóvenes que somos, no queremos ir al supermercado a por ellas. Ni hablar, demasiado fácil y sin emoción. Somos jóvenes, somos capaces y queremos cultivar las frutas nosotros mismos.

Para ello, lo primero que necesitábamos eran semillasy al pensar en esto nos dimos cuenta de que ya las teníamos. Nuestros cerebros estaban ya llenos de semillas, tan solo necesitaban agua y cuidados. Créanme cuando les digo que una vez que eres consciente de que tu mente está llena de semillas el agua y los cuidados vienen solos. ¿Cómo las regamos? Pues mediante reuniones y lluvias de ideas tras las cuales decidimos organizar un evento en el que las frutas fueran las protagonistas.

Claro que entre una semilla y una fruta hay raíces. No nos cabía duda de que AEGEE-Las Palmas mimaría tanto las semillas que de ellas nacerían fuertes raíces que nos proporcionaran las deseadas frutas.

Y ahora, AEGEE-Las Palmas y Juventud en Acción te brindan la oportunidad de formar parte del crecimiento de las raíces. Del 11 al 18 de diciembre de 2011 surgirán raíces en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y esperamos que a partir del 18 de diciembre de 2011 haya en Riga, Peiraias y Yerevan jóvenes repartiendo frutas.

En nombre de AEGEE-Las Palmas les deseo una fructífera experiencia en Gran Canaria.

Raíces, semillas, frutas... ¡TU TURNO!

How did the project emerge? (EN)

The team of AEGEE-Las Palmas, after having organized several events with the main focus on cultural exchange since 2008, wanted to add a new ingredient to the recipe of our work.

We realized how important volunteering work is and we wanted to raise awareness about it. Yes, volunteering actions would be our new ingredient, those actions would be the fruits AEGEE-Las Palmas needed for its recipe.We all like them; they are tasty, they have different bright colours and they are healthy.

But we, young people, did not want just going to a supermarket to get them. No way, that is too easy and boring for us. We are young and we are strong, so we wanted to cultivate the fruits by ourselves.

First of all, we needed seeds. Then we realized that we already owned them. Our minds were and are full of seeds. Our seeds just needed water and care. But believe me, once you realize that your mind is full of seeds finding water and taking care of them does not require a big effort. The way we watered our seeds was gathering and brainstorming about a future event on which the fruits would play the main role.

Once we reached the conclusion that between the seeds and the fruits there are roots. We were positive about the fact that AEGEE-Las Palmas would take so much care about the seeds that from them would appear strong roots which will provide us with fruits.

And now, AEGEE-Las Palmas and Youth in Action have given you the chance to take part in the growth of these roots. From the 11th to the 18th of December 2011 there will be roots growing in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. And we hope that from the 18th of December 2011 onwards there will be fruits delivery youth in Riga, Peiraias and Yerevan.

On behalf of AEGEE-Las Palmas team I wish you a fruitful experience on Gran Canaria.

Seeds, roots, fruits... YOU!
