Main Activities Developed:

VOICES magazine

• Well mostly I work on VOICES magazine where I write articles every month. I also design for my own and some other articles.

• Then I have done some workshops in schools where we have different topics starting from volunteering and EVS, non formal education, goals etc.

• I have taught kids English in language school using non formal way. For that I used games. For example I would make them draw their favorite things and then they would have to describe it. Also I would make them guess slang words from UK and USA.
• With our team we have different events that we hold.  I hosted Estonian movie night where I also had Estonian food. We have board game nights, language cafes, language karaoke.
