Dancing :) Dancing :) Dancing :)

Armenian Dancing is back...every Monday at 17:30 KulturAktiv is full of screaming, running, laughing and sometimes dancing kids :))) I know that the noise disturbs the ones who work, and every time I should ask someone to take out the chairs and table ( it's not so easy)...I was upset as that is the room Kultur Aktiv suggested me for having dances, when I wanted to rent the other room for dancing...BUT I have found solution :)))))))))))))) he he Dancing classes in the yard :))) Yesterday we did our classes in the yard and the kids really liked it... I am happy I've found the solution for the room and for the noise... :)))

P.S. no photos...sorry ...my camera ist kaput

Some points

Hallo hallo dear Kultur Aktiv.
As far as I have learnt that many of you are thinking that we are here on vacations and we don't do anything I've decided to clear some points.
Dear all first of all what is EVS. EVS is a programme financed by European Union, which aims to give opportunity for young people from different countries to have cultural exchange, to live in foreign country, to have new experience while HELPING in some CERTAIN project.
The other point that everybody is mentioning that we get more many than other members of KULTUR AKTIV....Dear friends we get money from EUROPEAN UNION, from YOUTH IN ACTION program, we don't get money from Kultur Aktiv. And the costs of nice flat that we are living in are also covered by YOUTH IN ACTION program.
Why are we here? We are here to HELP ( TO HELP and not to work, volunteer is not a professional, and is not worker and employee). In agreement which we signed was written we are supposed to help in ROCK for Peace project and to help in Kultur Aktiv's daily work and we should develop our own initiatives.
So my dears let's talk about the agreement and it's points, as you Germans like rules and are supposed to follow them.
The Kultur Aktiv part of agreement is not complete : there is no project, there was no language course for 5 months and so on... ( small things like money should be transferred on our account monthly on the 1st, but we all know it doesn't work..)
And now Volunteer part of the agreement..we all have developed and realized our initiatives ( we have written our own small projects which we can't apply as Kultur Aktive, other initiatives like Armenian Dance,Opening of German Corner in Armenia, trying to transffer books to Armenia, Ardian is working on festivals,Party in Alaunpark )and unfortunately we didn't get much support from our hosting organization.
Ulyana wanted to realize her idea but she was told she can't apply as Kultur Aktiv, the same was with me when I wanted to apply for the project I wrote.
There are a lot of things I don't want to talk about but the most offensive and awful for me was the story with beamer. I was doing my activity , demonstration and KULTUR AKTIV told I SHOULD PAY 20 EURO FOR BEAMER /projector/ . I know that I should accept and understand cultural differences but I am sorry I can't understand and accept this..But I am happy that I realized my idea even without support of Kultur Aktiv and thanks everyone who helped, special thanks to DANA and ARDIAN. And one more thing you all are very interested what are we doing but only 3 people from Kultur Aktive were present at my activity. And I am sure maximum 3 people is checking the blog. And this blog aimed to show you what are we doing and of course get some feedback, comments, suggestions,,,,
Now some points about our working hours. Dear friends we should work 5 or 6 hours per day. Just to make clear for some of you that we are taking part in language course( 6 hours per week and ) and in Marcus's project. So when we are in the office just 3 hours it doesn't mean that we just worked 3 hours it means that then we have to go to Language course or to Marcus's project which are also working hours for us.
And one more thing you have the attitude that we should be very happy and grateful to be here, that we are people form poor countries and you gave us opportunity to enjoy your wonderful country and we should be very happy and grateful. Of course we are happy to have new experience in new country but we are not 2nd class people and somehow you also should be grateful for having EVS project you know that it's not so bad ;)
So my friends I know that you think that I am the worst one always complaining, but I am just telling the facts as they are...In any case I am happy to meet you all,, you are very nice people..when there is no work ... You are really nice and kind people and I am happy to meet all of you...And I know we are not perfect,, we also have our mistakes..we know it....So I just wanted to clear some points for people who think we are on vacation...Sorry if I was rude but I just retell the facts....I hope there will be some comments,,though I am not sure...
Have a nice day my dear Kultur Aktiv...
