๐ŸŒ Meet Mohamed โ€” and discover the story behind his first volunteer camp with@sciswitzerland ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ

We gave him the opportunity to say yes โ€” and he took it.

๐ŸŽฅโœจ Now, we let Mohamed tell you the story in his own words,

๐Ÿ‘‰ Here is his testimony:

" My experience at the SCI Volunteer Camp was truly amazing and unforgettable.

First of all, I would like to thank the association Cultures du Monde, through which I found this wonderful volunteer program in Switzerland.

A big and special thanks to Ms. Wided Ghadhoun for her great support, for explaining the program to me and for helping me with all the process and necessary information.

The camp itself was wonderfully organized, and the coordinators were exceptionally kind, supportive, and professional. They created a positive and welcoming atmosphere for all of us.

I had the pleasure of working with volunteers from different countries. Everyone was polite, respectful, and collaborative. We worked together in a great team spirit and supported each other in every task, which made the work even more meaningful.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved, especially to the Alpe Vivantes association and the local farmers who welcomed us so warmly and made us feel at home.

This camp was a great opportunity for cultural exchange, learning, and personal growth. I gained many valuable memories and new friendships.

I truly hope to have the chance to participate in this camp again or in a similar project in the future.

Thank you for everything! "

Maybe his story will inspire you to take your own first step.

Because you never know where one โ€œyesโ€ can take you. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ซ

๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Two weeks. One memorial. A group of volunteers from around the world.

Our member volunteer Mehdi joined this year's international Volunteer Camp at the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial ๐ŸŒ โ€” alongside volunteers from Global South partner organisations, getting to know the site's history while helping preserve it for the volunteers who'll come after them.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ The work wasn't just reading and reflecting. It was sorting, repairing, clearing out โ€” restoring furniture and materials tied to a tradition of international camps here that goes back to 1982.

๐Ÿ”ฅ And in the evenings, sitting around a fire pit, working through what the day had surfaced, together.

This site exists because of decades of debate about how a country remembers. Camps like this one keep that conversation open, one group of volunteers at a time. ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿ“ Trainers' Workshop on Preparedness โ€” Korbielรณw, Poland ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ

We're proud to share that Maher took part in this Trainers' Workshop on Preparedness, held from 24โ€“29 August 2026, bringing together youth workers and trainers from across Programme and Partner Countries ๐ŸŒ

Through outdoor and experiential methods ๐Ÿ”๏ธ, the training created a real space to reflect on what preparedness, resilience and solidarity actually mean in youth work and within the European Solidarity Corps ๐Ÿค. Maher explored, alongside fellow participants, how trainers, youth workers and organisations can better support young people and local communities in times of crisis โ€” while learning from the diverse realities of countries across the region.

A big thank you to trainers Dagna Gmitrowicz and Mariia Herashchenko for such an engaging, challenging and thoughtful learning journey ๐Ÿ™Œ, and to the Polish National Agency and the SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus Resource Centre for the excellent organisation and for bringing together such a rich, diverse group of youth workers โœจ

Nine days at the Impulse Boost Camp were definitely not your usual workshop or training. ๐Ÿค—

From storytelling, which gave me practical tools for writing projects and funding applications, to design thinking, which helped me turn ideas into concrete projects and decide what is worth pursuing. The Power & Activism sessions gave me a real push to reflect on why we engage in activism and how we can create meaningful change in our communities.

Mindfulness was another highlight for me. It taught me to listen to my body, reflect on my experiences, and recognize my limits before reaching burnout.

But beyond the workshops, what made these nine days special was the people. Meeting young activists from different backgrounds, working on human rights, feminism, climate, nature, and so much more, was incredibly inspiring.

A very positive experience, from the trainers and organizers to the environment and the people I met. Iโ€™m leaving with new skills, new perspectives, and a lot to bring back to Cultures du Monde. ๐Ÿ’š

โœจ SUMMER VIBES โ€“ Global Energy for Local Activities! โ˜€๏ธ

We are proud to share the experience of our amazing volunteer *Omaima Sahnoun*, who represented our NGO at the *SUMMER VIBES* camp, held from 24 July to 4 August in Italy, hosted by our partner SCI Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Servizio Civile Internazionale .

We asked her these questions and these were her responses:

Q: What made your volunteering time in Cucciago so special?

THE PEOPLE! Whether I was working behind the scenes for the Madonna della Neve festival or leading creative activities with the children at the summer school, Cucciago felt like home almost instantly.
Despite the language barrier, I formed a beautiful connection with a local Italian lady that proved genuine warmth doesn't need words. The kids were an absolute joy to work with, and the local hospitality completely blew me awayโ€”especially the incredible, overflowing feast at Sylvanaโ€™s house! That kind of open-hearted generosity touched me so deeply that it made me want to pour even more of myself into giving back to the community every day.

Q: What was it like working alongside the other volunteers?

It was a wonderful, unifying experience. I worked alongside amazing volunteers from Catalonia, Russia, and Italy. Even with our different backgrounds, sharing hard work, laughter, and a common purpose brought us together so naturally. I walked away not just with memories of a festival, but with lifelong connections.

We are proud of you, Omaima, and grateful for the energy, commitment, and spirit you brought to this experience! โค๏ธ
