• Writing articles to our blog – Even though my main job is to make videos and photos, I also write articles. I collaborated with a girl from Poland and wrote about greenwashing, traveled to Mount Olympus and wrote about that and now preparing to write more and more – to our blog and also to our magazine called “Balkan Beats”.

 

• Attending/organising different events – Our team already participated in two cleanups, made a social language event in the park and also debated about Erasmus+.
