Solene Mouton, a young French lady and volunteer with KERIC in Slovakia has written us some feedback from her participation at the Footstep 12 conference. Solene, devised several of the activities and we hope that one day she will establish an organisation in her home village in Brittany and bring it into the Global Footsteps community.
I participated in Footsteps12 in Slovakia - Cadca, because I was volunteer with Keric (European Voluntary Service), so had the opportunity to be connected to this community. At the beginning I didn't understand well the aims of the conference because for me Global Footseps was an organisation that I didn't know. After many exchange, I get the aims of this community. I could learnt a lot about projects that people are carrying out in different countries, in the world around us, the differents cultures, the differents issues that everybody is working on to try to do better the life in their local contaxt.. During the 10 days we shared a lot about our experiences, ideas, culture, point of view.. and this through games, discussion, presentation, and a great great atmosphere that everybody built! This conference was really successful, where we could mix fun and serious exchange, and meet beautiful people. Today, new organisations around the world are connected and start to work on common project: voluntary, international day.. and for this, the conference was a success. To be connected with this community it just give me more and more motivation to pursue common project and be curious about what's happening around us. Let's enjoy future projects together!
