    Thirteen-month journey going to end, or…?

    For one year (actually a bit more) I was doing my ESK in the office of SCI-Germany. Normally, I was an incoming placement officer for the workcamps, however my working life was very diverse and full of various tasks. My project is going to end soon, and this is the best possibility to reflect and recall all that has happened during this busy and exciting year. So, follow me on this journey!
