In June youth exchange "International Dialogue on Migration took place in Rustavi, Georgia"

Mine. The first one in English, the first one during my volunteer service and the first in my life when it comes to trans-topics. Extremely important and precious experience in the safety of an open-minded group.

Dalarnas Län with its beautiful Siljan lake is the epitome of Swedish life and often designated as one of the best parts of the Northern country – especially during summer. Let me take you on a journey to this popular region in the heart of Scandinavia.

It's the end of June, the weather is warm and you are on the beach with friends or family... and although it is 3:00 in the morning, there is still light in the sky, and a shimmer of red on the horizon. It's Juhannus, the Finnish midsummer! Here's why this day is so special and what the Finns celebrate.

Cherries are expensive. No matter if it is season-time or not. On my day-off, I went to a colective cherry plantation in Central Greece to collect them and did not only find out amazing facts about cherries trees, but experience the harvesting of this delicious fruit in its pure form.

With the beginning of June and therefore the end of the school year in Sweden another big chapter is over and the last part of my voluntary year in this wonderful country starts.

A short reflection on the time spent in Hamburg on my Mid-Term seminar, written partly right after the wonderful five days and partly a long time after that. But I'm still grateful and full of positive feelings.

Becoming part of a ESC-project does not only change your surroundings. New people and a new culture will eventually create a new you and make you grow in a way you haven´t known before.. if you let the change happen.One month ago I wrote about how I have been experiencing those changes.. here it is:post scriptum: If it was not for one very special person in my life I would not have been able to learn so much about me.. thank you.<3
