The On Arrival training is the first step in terms of EVS training, the second step is the mid–term evaluation.
The mid–term evaluation consists of two days training in which you talk about what you have achieved in the first half of your project, and what do you have to do in the final months.
In the same way as with the on arrival training, you have the chance to share your experiences with others EVS volunteers. It is a moment to meet new people, to discuss feelings about experiences that you have in common, and to talk about the good and the bad things happened. It’s one of the high lights of the project.
My mid-term evaluation took place in London, at the beginning of March, 7 months after the start of my project.
The training was really good; two days to talk about all the different aspects of the EVS experience and to show and put in practise everything we had learnt. We spent the first day talking about the expectations that we had in respect of the project at the beginning, and how now we feel about them. The second day was spent talking about the Youth Pass and future opportunities.
It was a great experience to reflect on where we were when we arrived and what we had done until now. Sometimes is difficult to recognise our achievements, but my trainer, a wonderful woman, helped us to think and work on our experiences. This allowed us to realise all the steps that we had taken, obstacles we had overcome so that we could clearly see how far we had come in only 7 months. Another great experience.
