About EVS

Some questions about what are we doing in Leszno? Why CAT foudation? What is CAT? All your questions you are going to find below:

European Voluntary Service (EVS) is a volunteer which you can choose an area to work (culture, youth, sports, social care, arts, envronment). It is between 2 and 12 months and it is for young people between 18 and 30 years old.
You should get accomodation, food, insurance, pocket money and the certified about what you are doing (youthpass - https://www.youthpass.eu). More than that, and the most important: Have fun!

EVS is not:
- A holiday;
- Job substitution;
- A language course;
- An internship.

While you are applying, you should know that there are four environments involved: you, of course, your sending institution, your hosting insitution and your coordinating organization.

For more information, please check the website about it:

About CAT foundation, in Leszno:

Centrum Aktywności Twórczej



It is a foundation, in Leszno, created to develop the cultural and educational part in the town Leszno and in the cities and tows close to this one.
It's a foundation we represent and we are very proud for it. We expend our time in the office, trying to create new things and show it to everyone. So, when we are not in the office, we are showing it to Leszno and polish people.

Please, contact them, if you are interested in it:

—Ulica Więzienna 3, 64-100 Leszno

Our project consistes in go to schools (since kindergarden, untill high school) to share informations about our countries, our languages and our cultures. We expended the winter holidays with kids joining workshops (cooking workshops, sports workshops, pompom workshops, muhai thai workshop, soup workshops...). 

The most important thing during all this time:

HAVE FUN!!

Each other
With the kids
With the person next to you everywhere.







So, for us:

EVS is important to know ourselves, gain some skills, have fun, creat strong friendships, learn about new cultures and countries. It is also an opportunity to travel, discover new things and to be independet. EVS helps us to grow up and discover what we are and what we can do in this world.

We are waiting for the next volunteers' group to keep our work and develop new things. Just try it!

Do you know what do I think and still thinking? The life is wonderful and we are here for some reason. There is always a goal for every simple moment in our lifes. Why am I here, in Leszno? Why did I come here didn’t knowing what I would find? Someone broke a leg and they called me (if they knew 10% of they were get, maybe they had change their minds). 

Anyway, there is always a goal when you wake up in the morning, or when you go to sleep in the end of the day (or also in the middle, if you are from Spain). Try to find the reasons to be here and to leave, by yourself. Discover something, and start to move… Create the change!

Someone is waiting for you somewhere, in a CAT like this one. You are going to find amazing people, amazing activities, good vibrations, adrenaline in your body and you’re going to create something. This Is the summary of the last few weeks here. It’s hard and it’s fun! Feel tyred is just one reason to feel yourself alive.

20th Jan 2014


Already a week in Poland Leszno ,

Back home I did some research about the city all I could see through google was the main City Hall and how cold it will be, no where they was talking about how warm the people will be, how greats the group of volunteers international and Polish will be and adding to that the weather is not that cold as expected.


Still, am a bit confused about how some facts. I don’t think that “Demon” as an example feed to Leszno (small, warm with beautiful architecture city).


Till now everyone was helping, sometimes I didn’t even have to ask, amazing to see how easy going the polish are, people just invite us to join them to bars, restaurants and even homes.
