TV-week (2-8.03.2015)

We started this week with stories and legend about romanian celebration of spring. After we cooked a cakes from biscuits, Georgiana presented us the romanian tradition of "Mărţişor".

We found out the semnification of the red and white string that everybody wear it in Romania at the beguining of March. Also we had fun with the tradition of "babele" that tell us that people choose a day between 1st and 9th of March with will represent its "baba" (old lady). So the eather that day will be, so the year and mood for that person will be.

On Wednesday and Tuesday Georgiana organised two big meeting with the future librarian of the event Living Library. Now we can say that all the team are ready for the big event. It was a lot of preparation, discussion, planification. Each member of the team has a very specific role during the event and this week was very important for them to understand it.

Finaly we have the EVS movie made by Georgiana and Clemence. Their work was apreciate by a lot of people. The goal of this movie is to show in a simple way the steps that you have to fallow if you want to become an EVS volunteer. Also is a good way to understant what is EVS and to promote this program. You can see the video beneath.

Thursday was the "mass media"day. Two reporters from a local newspaper and a local television visited JAcis and were very interested about our job as a volunteer. They asked us about our task within the project and about our experience in Latvia and Rezekne. For this ocassion with one day before we decorate JAcis and we invited a lot of youth to take part in our activities.

In the morning a new schools decided to visit our center. The kids were very active, they played with us and were very interested in our activities. We did origami with them, talk about our job, play guitar, and had a lot of fun.
