Short summary:

Spring and Fall are not only transition seasons, they are also the periods of transition in the European Solidarity Corps. We have said goodbye to Maria and Liubov and celebrated with Adrian the completion of a few courses.

We said farewell to ESC volunteers Maria Laura Ruozzi and Liubov Tolstova on a Spring Equinox hike in Krems, where we observed the blooming Almond tree and the blooming Eastern pasqueflower. When descending back to Krems, we spotted a single White stork who probably was on his migration route from Africa to Lake Neusiedl National Park.

Interested in this hike? You can play it as a quest or contact us for a guided tour: https://ark.greensteps.me/event/bfg-krems-kuhberg-94201

Maria, Adri and Liubov also received their certificates for completing three courses during the last few months, which are available to the public in the ARK library: https://ark.greensteps.me/library

1. the Genuine Growth course on ecological psychology: https://ark.greensteps.me/library/genuine-growth-12-moderated-online-film-sessions-on-how-our-mindset-impacts-the-planet

2. the Human Animal course on anthropology: https://ark.greensteps.me/library/the-naked-ape-a-view-of-the-human-species

3. the Homegrown course on place-based education: https://ark.greensteps.me/library/homegrown-nature-guide-training


We wish them all the best for the next steps on their journey and thank @jugendinfo_noe for supporting us in hosting them.
