  • The blonde Chinese princess

    What’s new in EVS’ working this ending of summer? Many interesting and funny things! For example, we discovered that we have a Chinese princess among our EVS or we did zip line!

  • How are Dutch lessons? Prima!

    When you move to Belgium, you need to learn words like “frietjes” or “regen” by hard, and expressions such as “een pintje, alstublieft”! But that’s all you need to know to survive here, because for your everyday communication you can manage with your English without problems. From the oldest grandfather down the youngest teenager (even some little children!), everybody speaks English properly and French of course, or even German and Spanish!

  • Hot Spanish EVS-ladies in the cold Belgian sea

    The EVS-girls found a new destination for the sunny Saturday. We travelled two hours and reached Knokke, the most North-Eastern sea-side resort of the Belgian coast. It lies close to the Dutch border and is separated from the Dutch territory by the 'Zwin', a beautiful and extremely interesting natural reserve.

  • Bolleke party, the taste of Antwerp

    The 5th edition of the Bollekesfeest, organized by the City of Antwerp and brewery De Coninck, took place last weekend from Thursday to Sunday (18-20th August) in Zuiderdokken, the South of Antwerp. In total 120.000 people, according the newspaper Niewsblad.be, enjoyed during four days drinking, eating and also dancing with the performances in the main stage.

  • The first real holiday at home

    Sometimes you are blind for all the things there are in your country because you see them so much. The delicious Hungarian foods, like the Hungarian làngos or the kürtőskalács, the fresh fruits from the garden and the good wines. But after two months you begin to feel you miss something when being abroad! This was my first holiday at home, when I really could enjoy and appreciate my country’s beautiful tastes.

  • BUSY DAYS

    European volunteers don’t go on holiday. On the contrary, we work more in summertime because there are a lot of activities in Antwerp for youngsters. Youth centres, museums, activities with children, we are everywhere! Here they are some examples...

  • Welcome to the new EVS blog!
