Our project is an EVS: European Voluntary Service.
This project initiated by the European Union is open to every young people between 18 and 30 years old.
One of our task here in Romania, in common with all the EVS, is to promote this program.
For this we 've been to several high Schools during our visit in Miercurea Ciuc.
We've presented a PPT of our vision of EVS, admnistrative points, how to apply, what is EVS, what is not, etc.

Actually, at the beginning, our presentation was very boring, in myopinion. We just read the slides like robots. Mainly because we didn't want to loose important informations but also because we weren't used to speak in front of 40 or 50 high school's student !
After a few presentations, our presentation became more and more efficient, our group became more self confident and we changed our introduction. For example we asked for the student to put their chair in circle to speak about their project in the future, travels, volunteering and why not applying for an EVS ?
This way permitted us to speak more freely and also to make connections easier with them, avoiding the "Teacher - Student barrier".
The fact is that after 5pm, we had an other activity to promote EVS: the living Library - you can read more about it here ! And at this event we saw high schools students coming back to us to know more about us !
In my opinion we succeeded in making them curious ! It's already a great step !
