YIN WITH YANG
Office | July 29, 2010
Here is two visions of places, energy, childhood, duality, friendship, summer time, new town to live and grown up.
From Lora & Fra – EVS Volunteers
Prouvènço!
Beach over crowded on summer, yachts, cruise boat & tourist bus is the price to pay to live in this wonderful region!
I am from Cannes & I am missing my place sometimes.
But with an evs project, David Bowie & a backpaper´s mind, it was natural to take the road again to Berlin…
Lora
Berlin
The first impression I had of Berlin once arrived in Alexander Platz, was of a welcoming and alive city. I never felt like a tourist or as foreign, especially at the beginning of my „adventure“.

We are member of the European Movement
Office | June 25, 2010
We are a network of Citizens existing in order to enable “coordinated independent civil action in Europe” (as our profile puts it). After the board had handed in an application in February to the German section of the European movement (which is relevant for us as both our legal seat and our office are located in Germany), the general assembly accepted us as a full member on 21 June 2010. We are happy to belong to a family of partner organiations. We hope that this step will give us new opportunities for cooperations, networking and PR and provide an even stronger base for interesting projects on topics of European concern. (Report at the website of “Netzwerk Europäische Bewegung Deutschland e.V.“)

Spreading the voice
Office | June 23, 2010
What to do after the high school is an important concern, but it can also turn into an easier and conscious decision whether people have the chance to taste how a part of their future could be built. It is not all about finding a job or any other kind of working experience, your personal growth is doubtless included in the „game“. Being aware of it, Lilia Tamamdzhieva decided to organize on the 4th of June an orienteering session at the Løgumkloster Højskole (Denmark). Together with her schoolmates she discussed about volunteering, European policies and Citizens of Europe.

Office | June 21, 2010
Dorothée Moutiez (third from left), born in Lille, Erasmus student in Rome and master of European journalism in Brussels, finally came to Berlin as a European volunteer at Citizens of Europe in May 2009. Upon completion of her EVS she continues to live and work in Berlin as a freelance journalist. Besides that she is still involved in Citizens of Europe by creating a network for the organisation’s young members by moderating a Facebook group for EVS volunteers. The future EVS volunteer and short-term office intern Rasmus Randig (Wolfenbüttel) interviewed her about Citizens of Europe, European exchange programmes, similarities between European cities and the colour of Berlin.

I wanted to get to know my sending organisation
Office | June 21, 2010
Rasmus Randig, born and grown up in Wolfenbüttel near Braunschweig (Niedersachsen), just finished his A-levels in music and German, politics and economics. After this he now intends to do a EVS in France at the Federation of the Houses of Youth and Culture of the region Picardie, with Citizens of Europe acting as sending organisation. In preparation of his EVS he did a two-week internship at the office of Citizens of Europe in Berlin at the end of May. For his future after the EVS he plans a professional career as something in between a pirate and a professor. Read the rest of this entry »
