At the time of writing this letter, I’ve been in Estonia for one week on the project by ESC (European Solidarity Corps) .
Currently I work in a two kindergartens ( Lasnamae Huvikool and Academy of Childhood) that are based in the capital Tallinn .
One kindergarden is located in the territory called Siili , where I resident , in the middle of the forest, around only nature and the other one is based in a part of city also called Lasnamae , 20 minuters away from city center with a bus.
Aside from kindergarten, other volunteers from different countries are gaining useful skills by playing games, building a strong connection with the children and doing our own projects (I am working on developing a plan called Paint your dreams) .
We also have meetings with other volunteers and youth workers who are interesting in play form, learning how to navigate the kids, spread the knowledge , experience and posititive energy among the volunteers etc.
The project merged things I really love:
work with children (in kindergarten)
developing creative ideas on my own
the charming nature of Estonia
By combining these components, adding wonderful people, freedom of creativity and love, you can get a burning fire in the heart and a feeling of taste from life.
Life does not stand still and on weekends, we, together with friends like to travel cities (as far as the Covid-19 situation allows) get acquainted with the culture of different countries (evenings of culture) and spend long evenings at conversations , board games and a lot of dancing
I hope staying in Estonia, on a project, somehow can changed my life, goals and habits and also make an impact.
I can only say one thing, and this is: ′′ I am in love with Estonia in my own ears and it is unlikely to be done!!!”
