Hello! My name is Amel. I’m from France and I’m 19. I’m here in Serres for the Erasmus+ program EVS and I work for Praxis since 1 month and half.
About me, I can say that I’m someone who loves to travel - I love discovering new places. I really like taking pictures and I also like music very much.
Enough about me. Let’s speak a little bit about why I’m here.
Before coming here I never gave a language course. Working here in Greece made me more confident with myself, I learned to live in harmony with people, who do not speak my language.
I have discovered another country, another culture and I have met a lot of new friends.
Now my trip here will be over  soon, so I am a little bit nostalgic and I’m will miss all my friends and all of my flatmates.
I want to tell you all the cool things that I have made with them, so let’s go.
 
We play a lot of football

We go out on the valley for hike with our Greek and Iraq friends

Also I teach English and French to them and they teach me Arabic. And for sure sometimes we just speak and play to cards together

So before I go I want to thanks all of you my friends, because every day was a new experience for me. All my friends from Iraq from Greece Spain Hungary Estonia thank you very much. Also thank you Erasmus+ and Praxis for realize my dream to travel and meet new people.

un paseo por serres

​Mi experiencia con los voluntarios de thessalonika :
Mi tiempo aqui aun puede contarse con los dedos de una mano, pero no me ha impedido vivir grandes experiencias desde que he llegado. Mi nombre es Cristo y vengo de Gran Canaria, una isla que pertenece a Espana. Vine aqui para colaborar con PRAXIS, una asociacion de voluntarios que trabaja en la radio RODON FM realizando diferentes reoportajes tanto locales como personales de los integrantes y a su vez a la ensenanza e integracion de jovenes refugiados para el dia a dia.
 

Picture
​Ayer tuve una de mis primeras grandes experiencias con PRAXIS y otra asociacion de Thessalonika llamada ANTIGONI. Esta organizacion esta dirigida por Yorgos, un hombre bastante alegre que no dejaba de sonreir y tratar de ayudar en lo que pudiera a los refugiados que traia consigo. 
Picture
​Tambien estaba con el Nectarios, el profesor. Me sorprendio saber que Nectarios sabia hablar un poco de espanol lo cual me agrado ya que uno siempre echa de menos la lengua materna. Estas dos asociasiones colaboraron para realizar una excursion por Serres, donde ahora vivo y lugar donde se encuentra PRAXIS y el campo de rufugiados al que estamos ayudando.
Picture
​Quedamos en la radio de praxis y nada mas llegar los recibimos con un gran abrazo y comenzamos a presentarnos tanto los 5 regiados de Serres como los 6 de Thessalonika.
Mi primera impresion al verlos fue que tal vez no estarian habituados a hablar el ingles, pero para mi sorpresa no solo sabian el idioma, sino ademas griego. Al parecer esa misma asociacion ha dejado camaras profesionales a los refugiados creando un club de fotografia de lo mas diverso. No habiamos ni siquiera salido de la habitacion y ya veia como sacaban fotos a todas las cosas que veian. 
Picture
​Estuvimos caminando por las calles de Serres mientras 20 camaras apuntaban sus objetivos a todo aquello que se movia. Sentia las miradas de los transeuntes y me di cuenta de que lo que pasaba a mi alrededor no era del todo normal en este pueblo.
Picture
​Una vez acabado el paseo turistico decidimos ir a comer a un restaurante donde habia un lago llevo de patos. Observe que habia una gran cantidad de gatos y como no, perros callejeros. Intente dejar la tristeza de ver a un animal abandonado a un lado aunque sea por esos instantes y segui al grupo. 
Picture
​Pude ver como algunos refugiados no comian cerdo, cosa que me recordo que su religion es el islam y por lo tanto lo tienen prohibido. Por mi parte, encontre de los mas suculento algunos de los platos griegos que se me presentaron. Como puede ser el queso feta o el zuchini con salsa de yogurt.
Picture
​Volvimos a la radio de Praxis donde hicimos un gran broadcast entre todos, poniendo musica que los refugiados querian, hablando de nosotros, presentandonos, riendonos y como no, pasando una gran tarde todos juntos tanto refugiados como voluntarios. La enorme cantidad de fotos que se llegaron a sacar ese dia pasara a la historia en los records de nuestra asociacion ya que se llegaron a hacer mas de 3500 fotos. 
Picture
Ya por ultimo solo quiero dar las gracias a PRAXIS por esta oportunidad y espero poder seguir trabajando y vivir estos dias tan especiales que seguramente guardare fotografiado en mi corazon  para siempre.

Day with Antigone

Picture
On the 12th of June we had visitors from Thessaloniki. The Antigone organisation came to visit us, and the city of Serres. They came not only to visit, and meet us, but to see the organisation Praxis Greece work with the radio-reporters, the refugees from the camp in Serres.
Our organisation (Praxis Greece) introduced them how the radio Rodon 95 fm works in daily life, and what are we doing exactly here.
Giorgos Tsitiridis from the Antigone organisation who is the communication officer came to Serres with their photography group, and their main tasks was to take great pictures of our common day in Serres. Nektarios Mpasdekis is the photography teacher for the group and he helped every of us how to handle the cameras.
At first we introduced each other, personally and talk about our organisations, then we had a city tour around Serres, we showed the Info Center of Praxis Greece. We explained our activities with the refugees for Antiogne.
All after we visited the beautiful Agios Ioannis of Serres to spend more time together, take more pictures and in the end we had delicious traditional greek lunch in one of the tavernas.
We had a broadcast at Rodon 95 fm in the afternoon with the radio-reporters, Antigone organisation, Praxis Greece, and the EVS volunteers
To close the day we went up to Akropolis of Serres, to see the amazing view from there and have a nice cold coffee in the hot weather that we had on that day, and enjoy our last hour together.
I feel it was a really touchy and useful day for every of us. Again we could learn a lot of things from each other, and sare our time, and experiences. It is always so nice to meet people and specially to feel and see how open they are, and how easily can we get along even if we are from different countries, and we do not speak each others mothertongue and we can only use english.
I am looking forward to our next week together with the Antigone organisation!

No language barriers, and so close feelings!
