Vor mir ist fast ein ganzes (ESK) Jahr und wenn ich die Zeit seit meiner Ankunft in Fürstenwalde berücksichtige, erlebte ich schon viel, aber hey, das ist nur der Anfang...

Über das Leben, das Fahrt aufnimmt, trotz Corona

With COVID-19 outbreak came not only end of loads of opportunities, but also the door was opened to the new ones. And you are the lucky one if you have noticed them and started to use. Personally I prefer to be among those who are quick enough to see the opportunity and use it! When the idea of transformation of the real project into digital one came to my mind, I shared it with my colleagues and I was super lucky to be supported in its implementation. Since that moment almost every month I was involved in online seminars or workcamps which led to my expertise in this field. In this article I would like to share with you how I did my online campleading in a harmonious team with outstanding participants.

Like everything in life it is always possible to find some advantages and disadvantages and it is the same principle with our life and position during the project. It is also obvious that the current situation with the Corona pandemic is affecting our daily life and changing our wishes, goals and the imagination of volunteer services in general. However, it is some kind of challenge, to strive to be happy although we are sometimes unsatisfied. What we could do in the case of our expectations not being fulfilled is to try to create our own “small world” and shape it in the way we like it most!

My name is Natalia and last week I had several meetings and training on Zoom, an online marathon on YouTube, and we congratulated a friend on his birthday on Skype. We had several problems at each stage and with each program, but the people in the team and the organizers were willing to cooperate, so almost everything was overcome. So, I gonna share with you some useful tips on how to organize online meetings in the best way not only for you but for others. But there are points that are not critical to effectiveness: they are more about whether you go out after a meeting with the main character, whether you start avoiding your colleagues, because they start to annoy you and whether you feel confident in the role of those who organize meetings.
