About me And how it started? Ciao! I’m Zuzka and this is how I ended up volunteering in Sicily! After finishing my musical education and working in a tea shop in Poznań, I had a strong need to rearrange my life and needed some time to think - what's next? I decided to fulfill one of my dreams, namely - to live for a longer time in another, preferably sunny country. I had been planning to volunteer for a long time, and I found out about the European Solidarity Corps thanks to my research some time earlier. I immediately started looking for the organization and type of volunteering that best suited me. I chose Italy - or more precisely - Sicily and the Enjoy Sicily organization, based in Messina. I sent my CV and cover letter through a supporting organization Fundacja Rozwoju Społeczeństwa Przedsiębiorczego and after some time I received a positive response! Thanks to this, I spent 8 beautiful months on a sunny island.
ENJOY SICILY My hosting organisation At Enjoy Sicily I was writing articles and working on monthly magazines - also visual work; posting on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, and I also recorded a podcast. I created presentations for digital marketing workshops and participated in events involving the local community.
