My First Month in Dresden with PJR:
From the very beginning, I got along well with my colleagues and my roommate. I had long known that this city has a very significant history for Germany, but especially for the federal state of Saxony – so it was wonderful to experience this city in person.
I really enjoy the work because it has pushed me to learn new things – especially when it comes to writing and designing on the computer. I am very happy to gain new knowledge about the history, politics, and economy of another country.
In my free time, I also find the opportunity to work on my own projects, which, of course, are related to society, politics, and the economy – so they are closely connected to the activities I do with my colleagues.
I have already visited a few schools and was able to learn about the students’ perspectives on German history.
I am also very happy that I can finally start learning German – thanks in part to the language course provided to me by PJR.
Tobias, Franzi, and Florian have proven to be very understanding, calm, and helpful colleagues.
Looking to the future, I am very optimistic and look forward to learning as much as possible.

Hello everyone!
I am Libera, from Italy and I am the new ESK volunteer at PJR.
This year I did my Abitur in Economics and International Relations, where I studied German for five years at school.
It’s my first time in Germany and I’m very happy to work here for a year, this is also my first big project. In the past, however, I’ve already been a two-week-long in a simulation as a New Zealand Ambassador to the United Nations in New York.
Since I was 16 years old, I worked as a waitress in a hotel in Padua, because I like to be in contact with people and get to know different cultures. I also love sports like volleyball, as well as art, literature, history and visiting all museums.
I love Dresden because it is so beautiful and quiet, and I can be myself. I take a German course twice a week to improve myself and then I go to the gym three times per week and on Thursdays I play volleyball.
Here I take part in many workshops, which give me the opportunity to learn more about German culture.
I have just returned from my volunteer service training in Bremen with other European volunteers. It was a nice experience, I met many young people, also Italians and we talked about our projects in Germany and future projects.
