Some experience of the volunteers, who stayed at Hostel Elisson between October - December 2020.
About us:
We are 4 volunteers from 3 countries: Luxembourg, Slovakia and Germany, aged between 20 and 30 years. Two of us arrived in October for a 3 months stage (long term) and the other two arrived one month later, in November, for a 2 months stage (short term).
The European Environmental Volunteering Program “Act Green” was the first team activity developed under the program European Solidarity Corps, managed by FILOXENIA -Intercultural-Environmental Organization, with support from the Greek National Agency, the Institute of Youth and Lifelong Learning.
The participants stayed between the 28.08.2020-28.09.2020 at the Hostel Elisson.
This project was coordinated by the Luxembourgish organization Service national de la jeunesse (SNJ). The Partner organization - FILOXENIA conducted a volunteering activity in Kryoneri, Korinthias (Greece). Programme played an essential role in the inclusion of young people, who are considered to have fewer opportunities in the European Solidarity Corps programmes. Despite its short duration, the project has had a high positive impact on the participants, as well as on the local community, who benefited from this service.
The second part of the Youth Exchange "Footprints in Silence" took place in in Kryoneri Korinthias and Kalavryta, Greece. The participants stayed at the Hostel Elisson during the week 3-10.10.2019.
This was the second part of the youth exchange „Footprints in Silence“, which took place in August 2019 in Ravensbrück and Berlin, Germany. It was an artistic search for traces in the shared past of young people from Germany and Greece.
“Why you should go to Greece for Erasmus“
Impressions of the Slovak volunteers, that stayed at the Hostel Elisson during their EVS Project in September 2019:
We left Slovakia as a group of four 17-18 years old unfledged teenagers. After we left the gates of the airport in Athens, we still did not realize the distance between us and everything back home. At this point there was no turning back, just the vast and beautiful sunny Greece in September and our confused faces trying to read departures of trains in Greek.
International Jazz Workshop in Kryoneri (22.-29.7.2019)
Within the framework of the European ERASMUS + Program, a jazz music workshop took place in Kryoneri, Corinth, with the participation of participants from 7 European countries, under the guidance of internationally renowned musicians.

Μια εκδρομή με επίκεντρο τον άνθρωπο και την επικοινωνία του με το σώμα, τα συναισθήματα και τις ανάγκες του μέσα από μια ολιστική προσέγγιση αυτογνωσίας και ψυχοσωματικής εξισορρόπησης.
Αποφασίσαμε να πραγματοποιήσουμε αυτή την εκπαίδευση σε έναν ξενώνα με άποψη, ψηλά στα βουνά της Κορινθίας. Θα γνωρίσουμε μια νέα γλώσσα επικοινωνίας με τον εαυτό μας και με τους άλλους και η υποστήριξη της φύσης κρίθηκε απολύτως απαραίτητη.
