Mid-term training, Rimini


Shortly after the on-arrival training (1 month later!) I was called again by the Italian national agency to participate to the mid-term training of my EVS. The mid-term training is the second and last, obligatory training that the volunteers have to attend and it is only for the long-term evs.

The objectives of the 2,5 day long Mid-Term Training are :
  • The volunteers should reflect upon their personal project by far (what they learnt, difficulties etc)
  • Share experience and network with other volunteers
  • Lean about the Youthpass
  • Prepare for the reintegration to the home country
The location of my Mid-Term Meeting was again in Rimini , in the same hotel, (even my room was the same!). The trainers though and the participants were not (all) the same!

The activities were concentrated to "brake the ice" in the beginning between the people : getting to know where are the participants from, what is their project about etc.

After, the activities were more about to help the participants to think, reflect and evaluate their projects until now.
The bad points : the number of people. 35 participants isn’t definitely an ideal number to work with, but I think thanks to the experience and skills that the trainers had we managed very well. Plus the location and the food
But I felt very satisfied that I met these participants because even if they came from different parts of the world, we had different ages , we were all in Italy for different reasons in the end we had a lot in common and I enjoy it very much!
