Everyone Can Make a Difference

Another international project implemented by Šiauliai Didždvaris Gymnasium is over now and I think it's time to share some impressions.
"Everyone Can Make a Difference" was run by Didždvaris Gymnasium in cooperation with International School Ekola Wroclaw. The aim of the project was promotion of  international volunteering, to show to  young people how volunteering might influence their surrounding in a good way. In short, to see that Everyone Can Make a Difference! As an youth exchange project it had two parts. First part took place in Wroclaw, Poland in November 2011 and second one in Šiauliai, April 2012.

About the first part of the project we already wrote on our blog. http://radijoklubas.blogspot.com/2011/12/volunteers-week-in-wroclaw-2011.html

So now let me tell how was the second part :) This time 11 students from Poland came to Šiauliai to explore the importance of international volunteering with students from Didždvario gymnasia for one week. During this week we've visited several social institutions such as Elderly house, Daycare centers for infants and 7-16 years old children. Before going to this institutions we've prepared some activities together. For elderly house we prepared short concert and the Bingo game. For daycare centers we prepared some games which we thought might be interesting for children.

I think that the experience gained by participants during this volunteering activities is unique and meaningful. First of all they were working in international group. Second, they went to institutions to which they usually don't go and  the feedback of the residents of this social institutions, especially children's, clearly showed the importance of volunteering. And finally, they had fun, they enjoyed working together and they made a difference.

In the end of the week we went to Vilnius and visited some official institutions there like Vilnius Municipality and The Ministry of Education and Science of Lithuania. In municipality we listened to presentations about volunteering made by different youth organisations. The visit in the Ministry was rather short :)

During this project we had some informal activities such as cooking, dancing and watching a movie but of course everything was related to the topic of our project. Our Polish participants have prepared the dish from Polish cuisine - bigos. It was delicious! Lithuanian participants prepared the cold soup (I totally love it) and ... [omg I don't remember the name of the dish.. Lithuanian participants, please help!] 
I guess our participants enjoyed the line-dancing evening. And we also watched the movie - All the invisible children. I think it's a must seen movie!

During the project participants created the video clip and radio show about volunteering. We will put the radio on air next week. And hopefully we'll be able to put the video clip online as soon as possible.

In the end I should admit that the atmosphere in group was simply great! Participants really liked each other, they were eager to work together that's why it was easier to work with this group. Of course during this week there were a lot of Dos and Don'ts and it was quite exhausting week for Rabea and me as we lead most of the activities and we were also involved in some organisational parts but at least the weather was nice :)))

The project was definitely successful and it wouldn't have been possible without effort that was made by organizes, participants and coordinators.

I hope that the partnership which exists between Siauliai Didždzvaris Gymnasium and Ekola school Wroclaw will continue in the future and next generations of students will benefit from it as well.

EVS - 2 weeks until the deadline - apply now!

I would like to remind you that there is one very cool program called EVS - European Voluntary Service. It's an opportunity for 18-30 years old people to go abroad and work as volunteers in different areas, to get local language curses (for free) to get accommodation and food, to gain working experience and just have fun. You just need sending and hosting organisations and MOTIVATION. As a volunteer you don't pay anything. Even travel expenses are covered by the National Agency. From the first sight the program sounds like impossible but IT'S POSSIBLE! I am EVS volunteer and believe me this is one of the coolest programs  for youth throughout the Europe. EVS is part of the Youth in Action -the program supported by European Commission. Now I'm not going to tell you what are goals and objectives of the program. You can find this information here ---> http://ec.europa.eu/youth/youth-in-action-programme/european-voluntary-service_en.htm

Today I want to tell you how to apply for this program. (For example from Lithuania)

First of all you need to have some motivation to go abroad and work there up to 12 months. After you make sure with yourself that you are ready, you need to find the project in which you would like to be involved. But pay attention that if you want to go for volunteering for instance from September 2012 you need to apply now, before the 1st May deadline. 

How to find the project? There is a huge database of EVS projects and accredited organisations on internet :P http://ec.europa.eu/youth/evs/aod/hei_en.cfm here you can find almost every project which are registered for EVS. BUT... on this website it's not very clear whether these organisations are looking for volunteers right now or not. That's why I would recommend to visit this website ----> http://www.youthnetworks.eu/ here you can find projects which start in September or October 2012 but are looking for applicants right not. I would recommend to start looking for the projects as soon as possible because if you wish to go for volunteering for instance from September 2012 you need to be selected by the hosting organization until the 1st of May 2012. Why? Because when the organisation selects a volunteer for the project they apply for financial support to National Agencies and this procedure takes a while. That's why usually you need to start looking for the project in advance. 

[Sometimes there are some projects which are already approved (they already have financial support) but they're still looking for volunteers for some reasons (selected volunteers changed their mind or something like that).. In this case the project might start after 2 months you found it and if you are ready to go after 2 months you can apply for this kind of projects.]

When you find the project which suits your interests and you think that you also suit the project send your motivation letter and CV to the contact person from this project. The contact information you can find in the descriptions of the project, usually they indicate it :) Well, it'll be better if you send your CV in  Europass format.. I would recommend to apply for different projects, not only for one. Then your job is done. You just need to wait... wait... wait until you get the positive response from one of the projects you've applied for. 

But to make EVS you also need sending organisation which will agree to send you abroad for EVS. The sending organisation should be from the country of your residence and you can find them in this database http://ec.europa.eu/youth/evs/aod/hei_en.cfm. [When you select the country you get the list of projects which are in this country and the list of organisations that are running these projects. There you will find S H and C which indicate the type of the organisation like  Sending, Hosting and Coordinating. So you need the one which says S. It might be both S and H, it's not a problem] 

By the way Siauliai Didzdvaris Gymnasium is sending organisation for EVS so if you are the student of this Gymnasium it should be easier for you to make EVS. 

After you've been selected by the project they write to you and ask for the contact details of your sending organisation. Then they deal with some documentation and formal stuff together. You will need to sign some agreements.. f.e. the document that you have never did EVS before ect. (You can make long-term EVS just once in your life ) and they apply for financial support. Than again you have to wait a bit (1-2 months:D) and then you will get one more letter with positive or negative response about the financial support. That's it. Official part is over here. Then you just need to prepare yourself  for a long and nice experience of living and working abroad.:) 

If you have some questions, don't hesitate to ask :) The program is really very nice and I wish I could do EVS once more. 

P.S. Here is the video about EVS made by EVS volunteers in Georgia. Enjoy :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUGYtzahEoQ

Video of our Volunteers Week

As Manana and I already wrote quite a long time ago, we participated and organised a Exchange project for students from Didzdvaris Gymnasium and another Gymnasium with IB program, called EKOLA Wroclaw, Poland. The topic of the project was volunteering and as Manana and I are in fact international volunteers in Lithuania at the moment, we shared our experience with the students. Moreover we asked the participants to develop a short video about volunteering.

As a matter of fact, one of the Polish participants asked us if he maybe could  the video, as he is really into cinematography. Unfortunately, somehow he did not send us the video until now, but we needed the video for the final project evaluation. In order not to let the national agency wait for longer, we sent them this raw material the students filmed during the project. Hopefully our video guru from Poland will eventually cut the video somewhen later, and also add subtitles to the parts, during which our international participants and project leaders speak in their native language.

So now the video is one Youtube, so we will share it also on the blog, for participants, their friends and everyone else who is interested in volunteering and what young people think about it. :)

UK's most multi-lingual student

The Oxford University undergraduate student Alex Rawlings is just 20 years old. He is the winner of a national competition - UK's the most multi-lingual student. And how do you think how many languages does he speak? ELEVEN :O He speaks English, Greek, German, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Afrikaans, French, Hebrew, Catalan and Italian. Here you can find a video where he tells how he has learnt these languages. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17107435 

After watching this I became more motivated to learn a new language. Hope it'll motivate you as well :)

New American Corner in Šiauliai County Public Library

Today we 4 volunteers attended a ceremony in the Šiauliai County Public Library. The event took 

place because of the 20th anniversary of the Lithuanian-American diplomatic relations and due to that the library opened a temporary exhibition in the presence of the United States Ambassador, Anne E. Derse and Siauliai mare Justin Sartauskas. Moreover the library proudly showed there new "American Corner" a special section in the building which is devoted to American literature and media, which has its own study area and reading hall.

Exhibition 

US Ambassador Anne E. Derse

Manana and I are already used to be invited to such events, as we are one of the only non-Lithuanians staying in Siauliai for a longer period. The representatives of the American corner also asked us, to bring some students, so we arranged to meet a teacher with some students at 11.15 this day to go to the library together. 

So we all went to meet with this group at this time and left the gymnasium under the impression, that we now will all go to the library. Unfortunately this group was not going to the event at the library, but to visit another exhibition. We found out that we somehow followed the wrong crowd, when at one point they didn't walk to the right direction to get to the library anymore. So we left them walking somewhere else, and continued our way on our own. Luckily enough the correct group of students joined us in the library some minute later, a bit confused, that we were not there to meet them. 

During the event the US-Ambassador and the mayor of Siauliai opened the Exhibition and the American corner and Manana and I agree, that it is a really cool place to spend some time. Of course for us it is also very nice to have this kind of section in the library as our Lithuanian language skills are far not good enough to read novels, classics or even scientific text in this tongue. That's why we are happy to have this selection of English media in the library. 

Last but not least, the staff at the library is very friendly, helpful and always open for a nice chat, especially  Roma Baristaitė , the chief librarian in the American Corner. So, it is worth going there for sure!

Learning Languages

I guess there is no need to explain why it's important to know different languages nowadays.
Especially if your native language is spoken only in your home country and there are less then 5 million people who speak this language. What do we do for learning a new language then? Of course we have an opportunity to study it in school or in Universities. We also can take a language courses individually. But there are a lot of other ways how to learn a new language or to improve the one you already know on World Wide Web. Today I want to tell you about useful web-site that can help you to improve your language skills. This is a  very interesting online language learning community - www.livemocha.com. This is a web-site where you can create an account and use it for educational purpose. Livemocha provides instructional materials in more then 30 different languages and also it is a platform  for people to interact with native speakers and help each other to learn new languages.

Free basic courses are offered in almost 38 languages on this site, consisting of 30-50 hours of coursework. Few languages were first added to Livemocha through the process of "Member Translation". Members of the community fluent in two or more languages may translate already available course materials into their native tongue and put the results on web-site. Other users can rate and improve the translations. By the way Lithuanian language courses are among these type of courses, created by users of the web-site :)

More advanced courses - called "Active Courses"  are available in five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. But you have to pay for it. They require a monthly or annual fee however these courses are intended to achieve conversational fluency.

I think that even courses which are offered on this site free of charge are very useful. For beginners it's quite easy to start language exercises. For those who are already on intermediate or advanced level site gives a really good opportunity to communicate with native speakers. Of course you can communicate with native speakers on other social networks as well. But very specific and different thing about this web-site is that as it is meant to be a language learning community you can ask other members (more probably native speakers) to review your accomplishments in learning language and to give some suggestions. It's really easy and convenient access to native speakers. By the way if you want you can also help others to learn your native tongue or the language which you already know quite well. You can revise their works on web-site, give them some advices and make the learning process easier.

Couchsurfing

"An excellent way of getting to know a local culture."   the Guardian

"CouchSurfing isn’t just a means of accommodation; it is an entirely new way to travel"   Time

"We saw and learned much more than if we had just gotten a hotel room. You can avoid being “that person” with the folded-out map when you’re exploring the city."   npr

                                                


If you want to travel you need a lot of money. If you want to travel you need to know the local spoken language. If you want to travel you need to read a lot of tourist guides.
Not with this new form of travelling: Couchsurfing. As the word somehow already says, the method is to "surf someone's couch", meaning, to stay for some nights in someone's apartment and sleep on his\her couch, floor,... .

But the philosophy of couchsurfing isn't just to provide a sleeping place for a total stranger, the aim for the host and the traveller is also to meet new people, get to know a different culture and find friends from all over the world. It is common that hosts and hosted one's take a stroll around the city (because in the end the traveller came to visit a place), explore the night life together, speak for hours about the personal life and interests, and somehow form a friendship, maybe not for a whole life time, but for some days.

Before couchsurfing existed, people on the go who couldn't afford or who didn't want to stay in a hotel or hostel, maybe talked to some complete stranger in a bar and ended up sleeping at this person's place. Without knowing with whom they are sharing an apartment and without any security net. The website couchsurfing.org can't provide a complete security net of course, but it gives the opportunity to create a profile, find a place to stay, and rate hosts after you visited them. This way future travellers can see, if a host got positive ratings and therefor is likely to be a good person, or at least a nice companion for some days.

And this is how it works:

How it Works

1. Start by searching for people who interest you.
2. Once you’ve found someone, send them a message, inviting them to your home or requesting to stay in theirs.
3. Then, meet up in person and share a unique experience.
4. And, at any time, join an activity to meet new people wherever you are.
5. 
   

(source: couchsurfing.org)

Couchsurfing.org claims on their website, that they are the "largest travel community". And indeed with millions of members in almost all countries world wide, it has become a huge multicultural community.

If you are interested in joining the group, becoming a host or are thinking of travelling somewhere and want to meet local folk and explore a country and culture not through the eyes of a stranger and tourist, but like a true inhabitant, then visit the couchsurfing website.

English Wikipedia shuts down for today

The English version of Wikipedia, our virtual helper for homeworks, presentations and best friend whenever we have a scientific question, made it's threat come true and is unavailable for today's Wednesday. 
As Manana and I have already written yesterday, with this shutdown of their page they want to show that they disagree with the US Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (Pipa) being debated by Congress.

Which number are you? :)

BBC news recently put a very funny online tool on it's website. If you ever wondered, which number as a person out of almost 7 billion on our planet you are, how many people are living in your home country and how fast it's population is growing, and what your life expectancy according to your country of origin and your gender is, click on the link below and find out :)
This way I found out, that when I was born (according to this calculation system) I was the 5,504,614,518th person currently on Earth.
The website also gives you interesting facts about the current population in total, the fastest shrinking and growing countries, and further information on related topics.

English Wikipedia goes offline for 24 hours

Wikipedia plans to take its English-language site offline on Wednesday as part of protests against proposed anti-piracy laws in the US.


The sites' webmasters are opposed to the Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (Pipa) being debated by Congress, as they argue, this two programs would affect their website's activities in a negative way, but don't really prevent online piracy.
The very famous social network website "Twitter" announced that it won't take part in this "protest day" and therefor won't shut down their website on Wednesday.
We will see tomorrow, if Wikipedia will act as it said... .

Track your progress on UCAS

Track
Once you have successfully submitted your application in UCAS, you have to wait for up to 2 weeks, until you will receive a "Welcome Letter". This letter will contain your personal ID for using "Track". Track is the online system which enables prospective students to follow the progress of their application and reply to the offers, Universities hopefully make.

http://www.ucas.com/students/track/




Next Steps

1) Offers
The Universities for which you applied may make you an offer. There are different types of offers they will eventually make:
- Invitation for an Interview: The University will choose if they will admit you or not afterwards
- Conditional Offer: The University will offer you a place if you will meet certain criteria's, such as a certain score in your final exams
- Unconditional Offer: The University will take you as a future student
- Unsuccessful application: The University won't take you
- Offer for a Different course: It is also possible, that the University offers you a place in a course, for which you haven't applied, because there is a free place or you meet the Entry Requirements for this course


2) Replying to your offers
If you have received one or more offers, you will receive an e-mail that you should check Track. In this system you will be able to reply to this offer(s).

If you accept an "Unconditional offer", you firmly accept the conditions the University offers you and you tell them that you will study at this University. This way you can't have an "insurance choice". An "Insurance Choice" can only be made if you accept a "Conditional Offer", as back up in case you wont meet the requirements the University demands of you.
That means all your possible replies are:

Unconditional firm only - you've firmly accepted an unconditional offer. You cannot have an insurance choice.

Conditional firm only - you've firmly accepted a conditional offer.

Conditional firm + conditional insurance - you've firmly accepted one conditional offer and accepted another conditional offer as an insurance.

Conditional firm + unconditional insurance - you've firmly accepted a conditional offer and accepted an unconditional offer as an insurance.

Afterwards you will have to decline all offers, which you wont accept.

2) After you accepted an Offer

What your next steps will be after you accepted an offer depends if you already got an Unconditional offer, or if you received a Conditional one, because in this case you will have to meet certain criteria's before the University will accept you. Usually they give you time until the end of August, to meet this entry requirements.
If you haven't yet received your final exam scores, it is likely that the University will only make you a Conditional Offer, because they want to see if you reach the predicted grades you stated in your application.
UCAS has a section in which they describe the possible options for you and the University, if your exam results are not as expected: http://www.ucas.com/students/nextsteps/

If you received an Unconditional offer, or finally met the additional Entry Requirements the University stated in your Unconditional offer, you can start preparing everything for your living and studying in the UK.
UCAS also gives you some support in this area: http://www.ucas.com/students/startinguni/



Now I wish everyone good luck with the application... :) Hopefully everyone will be able to study what they applied for ...

About deadlines and "innovative online tools"

Everyone who is thinking of studying in the United Kingdom next fall should have noticed, that one of 3 deadlines for applying has passed yesterday. Exactly until 23:59 (UK time) prospective students were able to submit there application, if they want to make sure that their chosen Universities will receive it on time. For some courses, such as medicine, applicants had to submit their application even earlier, namely in October.
The lucky one's are those, who are thinking of applying for a major related to arts and design, because this deadline is still about to come, in March 2012. The system which handles all the applications for Universities in the UK, is UCAS.

As I myself submitted an application there (one Friday the 13th :) ), I have spent some time dealing with this "innovative online tools which make it easier for students and higher education institutions (HEIs) to manage applications and offers." (quote UCAS).
Maybe it was the fault of this "innovative online tools" that their server broke down several times while I was completing my application. :)
Though, all in all this online admission system seems to work quite properly. Without doubt it takes some time, until you understand how to use it, where to enter which information, and how to get a letter of reference into the provided section. But, if you know what to study one year before the course will start, decided that you want to apply in the UK also in September, and inform yourself about deadlines and the procedure for like a month, ask a referee to write a letter of recommendation for you as soon as you figured out that you need one, and write a perfect personal statement in fall, then you can even manage to meet the October's deadline and of course the January one without much trouble. :)  Well, the problem is, usually prospective students don't know that early, what and where they want to study and the great majority certainly doesn't start dealing with this application mess before they really have to - because deadline is coming soon. Then a good time management is of crucial importance, or a lot of coffee and coca cola in order to be able to make some late night working sessions.

Although I somehow cant see this "UCAS" sign anymore and don't want to hear anything about "deadlines" and "entry requirements" anymore after yesterday, I decided to at least inform myself and everyone who will read this article, about how it will go on for everyone, who submitted an application.
Therefor I will write about the next steps after you submitted the application in my next article ... .
