Meet our participants: Anna from Germany
Anna and her story:
"Few months ago I passed my final secondary-schools examinations. After a stressful phase of
studying I was very happy to leave all the struggles behind me. This happiness had to be celebrated!
– Indeed, almost every second day.
Though I was only a student without a regular income the money for parties in pubs or clubs was
rare. So, what to do?
Take several friends, a hangout without parents, buy some snacks and tell your friends: “Bring your
own beer!”
My picture looks very dirty, but that is on purpose. As it is like that when young people have a party
in a small flat – it is crowded, loud, messy, no one knows which beer was the own one, but who
cares? It has no effect on the horrible hangover in the morning…"
Meet our participants: Ivanka from Bulgaria
Ivanka from Bulgaria:
"My story is related to one of my hobbies –
all the travels, volunteer work (what I do) with my friends back in Bulgaria. I
have made a beautiful forest with trees, flowers and a lot of life in it,
because I love camping, going to different places surrounded by nature. One of
the voluntary things I do is participate in a group that plants trees, love and
hope within the earth. The combination of doing something good for nature, and
finding new friends with which sharing beautiful times is the best. Travelling
is something else added to all above and this is what makes me very happy."
Meet our participants: Olga from Ukraine
Olga:
"I was honored to become a UEFA volunteer for the EURO 2012 tournament in Kyiv, Ukraine. It was like a Brazilian festival, only in Eastern Europe! For a months we basically lived at the stadium, volunteer centre and the fan zone. I had a chance to watch all the games that were held in Kyiv, meet hundred of interesting people and see famous players with my own eyes.
With this picture I tried to depict the amount of excitement I had during the event. I really miss this feeling and would love to become a volunteer at a global sports event again!"

Meet our participants: Ola from Germany
Ola's story:
"My name is Ola, which is a short form of
the name Alexandra in Poland. I have two homes, one in Germany and one in
Poland. When I was a child I did not want to be called Ola because I could not
relate to Poland. Now I prefer the short form of Ola. But when I come home to
Germany everyone calls me Alex. So I sometimes feel that I have two different
Identities. One as Alex and one as Ola. On the picture you can see both of my
countries and the letter X which marks my place in between."
