<s>As</s> Laura had not previously worked with kids and elderly people, therefore this project was for her a great challenge, which turned out to be a useful learning experience for her. She has achieved the goal of trying a new professional field and testing herself by being in an atmosphere she did not know if she would match with or not. During her EVS project she had several challenges, which made her, not only learn more about herself and her limits but also how to work in a social area and to plan and manage projects. She learnt to be more open-minded, patient, flexible, how to motivate herself and other people, have the self-confidence to succeed not only at work but also outside too, and how to take the best out of her personal skills. During her work, she could become more ready to express and share her emotions, thoughts and experiences, take the initiative and be independent managing her own tasks. Laura has improved her communication skills and has developed constructive discussion skills. All in all, the most important aspect was being able to adapt completely to a new personal and professional situation. It had given her a wonderful chance to live a different reality, discover a new culture and to get involved with different kinds of people. She has learnt by making mistakes, by observing other people and accepting advice. Part of Laura’s work involved office tasks, in which she needed to use new computer programs such as Excel, PowerPoint and Photoshop. She developed her computer skills by working with Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, Power Point). In order to present her work, she used projectors and printers. For instance, she had to create different posters, leaflets, brochures and promotional material with which we advertised our event.
