Sophie débarque :)

Bonjour tout le monde! My name is Sophie and I come from the country side of Northern France, from a small, small town, which no one knows the name, surrounded by potatoe fields and cows.

Peter is here!

My name Peter, I am 19 years old, from the capital city of Hungary, Budapest. Last year my twin sister also participated in a voluntary project in Altamura which is a beautiful town next to Matera. I am now in Matera to make a long-term project with Beccogiallo!

Arrival week

What do volunteers do when they arrive to their new host country? They train! They train themselves to not get lost, so ask for bred and milk, to become a team with their room mates and to enter smoothly in the new local culture.

Adam from the <3 of Europe

Ciao a tutti! I’m Adam from the heart of Europe, Budapest, Hungary. I’ve graduated from BA in International Relations in my hometown, and received my Master’s degree in Sport Management in Norway. I will volunteer for 9 months with UISP Basilicata!

Adding pieces to puzzle…

Aloha! My name is Madalina and I come from a small, but beautiful town in Romania. I would describe me with three words: music, dance and people. I will continue my amazing story with Matera as an ESC volunteering project in the after-school organization called Beccogiallo for the next months.

Bonjour à tous da Adeline!

My name is Adeline. I’m 29 years old and I grew up close to the sea, in the French Brittany. I will join ESC volunteering with MateraHub – Europe Direct Matera in October 2020 for 9 months.

Diamo il benvenuto a …

Ciao! Mi chiamo Irene. Piacere! I come from Madrid, Spain, and I am eighteen years old. I love discovering new places and meeting new people, so I am very excited to get to know the city of Matera, where I will be spending the next nine months. I also love any kind of creative stuff, such as art, music, theatre and fashion. One thing I am very passionate about, and to which I want to advocate my life, is human rights. 

Eliot is coming!

Hello! My name is Eliot, I’m 18 and I’m from Belgium, the country of beer, french fries and rain! I speak French, I manage in English (I’m ok) and I speak a bit Italian.Why did I decide to apply for a project B-link in Matera?

#futurebeyond2019

Human Capital 2019 is over. The two year long European Volunteer Service project has come to an end by July 2020; but all the spirit and energy the volunteers, the european citizens, brought to Matera is still here, and continues to grow. Just now we call it Future Beyond 2019.

I segreti della produttività
