This was the last week, before Christmas because I'm going home. I will fly to Portugal, to spend time with my family and my friends who are waiting for me. Anxious to see them, for a short period of time but to tell the stories that I'm living here and all the aspects of my [...]
Baia Mare is a little city in the county of Maramures. It's very calmed and relaxed, almost like a big town. But to live here is very nice. I mean you don't have too many things to do but is a confortable place. In spanish we say "hogareño" that means the it feels like home. [...]
It is undeniable that Romania is treating me well and that I am having fun here by trying to delight in every moment that this opportunity is offering to me. It is also true that here I am learning a lot about myself; and that is always the hard part: getting to know myself and [...]
Another week passed and new moments were always lived with a good mood. The beginning of the weeks is always marked by activity planning and this week we felt successful. We received a positive feedback from the students and the teachers about the activity of conflict management. Even better, we always learn from "our students." [...]

This analysis is called "SWOT" evaluation and which letter means: "S" (strengths), "W" (weaknesses), "O" (opportunities) and "T" (threats"). After this dialogue, we made a schedule for the following weeks. The teamwork was very satisfactory [...]
It has been a fast going week. Full of interesting activities and nice experiences. Even if the weather is turning into grey and darkness, I managed -with a little help- to find the colourful resistance of Romania. Somehow I fixed last week's bitter taste: the kids are able to see farther than I thought. They [...]
This week has ben more relaxed. We used the monday mornig to find out how we can fix our schedule to do all the things we have to do. So now I know what is our free time and I can plan things. It's a busy schelude but well, we are here to work. And [...]
What a tiring week. Plenty of activities and emotions: nerves, excitement and, of course, frustration. How challenging can some 6 years old be? How did it come that expressing myself became so difficult? I was already aware of the importance of words; but, suddenly, I have realized how powerful the non-verbal communication is: a look, [...]
I start this text saying " time flies". But this time it´s used in the best possible way. I could not be happier and more grateful for the way that everything is happening naturally and always with the main objective achieved, feel good and useful. It has been weeks of brainstorming, cultural learning, sharing moments... [...]
