Why did you choose your host country without naming it
THE VSS HERALD #2 EDITORIAL Content Now when I write this little editorial I’m sitting ... surprisingly in an AFS training while my participants are solving the task I gave them. Yes welcome to the life of an AFSer, something you all know, always busy and using every minute you have spare to do more AFS things to make the world a little more #AFSome. 3. The Prep Team 8. The Trainers Team 17. The Trainers Team 23. RoadMap to the VSS Welcome to the second Herald where you will meet and get a peak preview of the team you will meet in Germany this summer. Until then spread the word and tell your fellow AFSers to apply for this #AFSome event! Editor and layout: Egill Texts: The teams Picutres: The teams The PrepTeam: Anne Reck David Kalwar Egill Thorarinsson Gert Lucas Inga Menke Marín Björt Valtýsdóttir Pieter Verstuyf Valentina Milanese With the financial support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe The Prep-Team In the last 8 years of the VSS, 48 AFS volunteers and staff have donated their time in organizing the VSS as preparatory team members. If you look at the numbers for support and trainers throughout the years, we have grown to well over 150 volunteers and staff being a part of the VSS team, giving trainings and running the event. This year we will break an even bigger record - over 200 AFS volunteers will have volunteered at the VSS! This herald will be all about the people breaking the 200 - the trainers, support and preppers of the VSS 2015 in Germany. As you might imagine by seeing this number, the VSS is built upon immense teamwork that mostly takes part online - with a large part of the team never meeting until the moment they arrive at the venue. The people taking care of coordinating this massive event are the prep team, they started working 8 months before the VSS, meet up only once 7 months before it and the rest is done online until they meet up 2 days before the VSS starts, the work isn’t over until 2 months after the VSS when all documents are collected and outcomes are released. It is with pleasure that I introduce to you the prep team of 2015: Anne Reck (Germany), David Kalwar (Germany), Egill Thorarinsson (Iceland/Sweden), Gert Lucas (Germany), Inga Menke (EFIL), Marín Björt Valtýsdóttir (EFIL), Pieter Verstuyf (Belgium Flanders/UK) and Valentina Milanese (Italy).

What is your favorite word in your native language and its meaning in English? Ahh I am really bad at picking one thing over another, not big on putting things into binary so I don’t really have a favorite word in Icelandic - the word that I use the most even when I speak English would be “já” meaning yes so that is all I can give. Who is the person you would never like to meet? That I will keep for myself ;) What is your weirdest dream (while sleeping)? I don’t really dream or at least I don’t remember them, I just go to bed and fall a sleep and then hours later I wake up. - everybody dreams but I unfortunately don’t have the gift of remembering them when I wake up.

My favorite place on earth is wherever I can share a meal or a coffee or a drink or a chat with my family and my friends. What is your favorite word in your native language and its meaning in English? Sapore. It’s the taste of food but also the “flavor” of a place, a culture. Who is the person you would never like to meet?

Freddy Krüger What is your weirdest dream (while sleeping)? Once I got a phone call from a penguin in the Arctic who wanted me to help them save the polar icecaps from the FBI. Suddenly, I was in the arctic, although if I recall correctly, it seemed like another snowy city- with grocery stores and houses and everything. The penguins dragged me to a side and gave me some cool weapons; I only distinctly remember one of them- an enormous razor blade. I tried to fire this weapon on aliens now (I didn’t notice that initially I was supposed to kill the FBI). Describe your AFS experience in 140 characters: Went to Thailand. Came back, threw myself in as a volunteer. Have a great local chapter abbreviated as BRO (Awesome right?). Volunteered fo What is your favorite place on earth?

Best name for a colour ever. Who is the person you would never like to meet? Voldemort What is your weirdest dream (while sleeping)? The one where you try to fly by jumping in the air, fall on your chin, and then keep trying until it works. And it does. Meet the support team. They're diverse. They're efficient. They're fun. They're everything you ever wanted! David Kalwar Annika Why did you choose your host country without naming it: One is rarely able to go there just for vacation! What is your special silly skill? Not sure if I have one... Maybe being able to laugh endlessly without a reason? If you could use a time machine, where would you go? Ancient Egypt. If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? Learning languages, travelling and having tons of animals! Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: The other side of the world, an amazing hostfamiliy, best experience ever and since: Fernweh! Why did you choose your host country without naming it: Because I had basically no idea about it and I somehow felt it was a good moment to get to know something very different and golden What is your special silly skill? I can touch my nose with my tongue (though I actually think it is cool, not silly) If you could use a time machine, where would you go? probably to the 60s/70s as there were no smartphones yet and it seems like the air was more political here If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? with my family and friends, doing social work, some ecological farming, travels Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: Exchange year 2001/2002, since then volunteering in Sending and Hosting Camps and Counselling, project work, training, Intercultural Lear.. Mirjam Why did you choose your host country without naming it: I fell in love with a country that for many Germans is not really exotic, even though it is a country with four official languages and has a wild and charming landscape. It is a quite diverse country, but everyone loves chocolate and cheese and eats incredible amounts of it. I learned a language that now comes handy in many other countries, especially a big neighboring state, even though I am told I have a slight rural accent. What is your special silly skill? I am quite brilliant at heavily criticizing people in a very charming way. So you cannot be angry at me for a long time ;-) If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I would always go back in time as I’m really interested in history. Probably I would choose the 19th century, a time full of changes and developments. And, most important, it is also an epoch when people still used to write letters. As a dedicated postcard writer, I appreciate it when people take the time to write something by hand and when a message actually needs some time to be delivered. Eva If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? I would have a big house at the countryside, surrounded by a big garden and a swimming lake. I would grow vegetables and fruit and spend my day cooking and baking for all the friends and family staying at the house. A significant part of the day I would dedicate to reading a good novel. Occasionally I would go travelling for a couple of weeks and discover new places, meet new people that I can then invite back to the house. Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: Went away in 07, came back, got infected, started volunteering, did almost everything from chapter work to trainings and still addicted. Why did you choose your host country without naming it: Because I didn’t know anything about the country, just that it has a lot of beaches. What is your special silly skill? Imitating people If you could use a time machine, where would you go? Back to the beginning to finally meet Adam! If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? At the beach in Panama Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: AFS is my family and my family is AFS. Katharina Lea Why did you choose your host country without naming it: Well, I have three host countries...the first I choose because of language, the second I just choose the language and price range and let AFS decide with of the 4 countries left would be it and the third was about the project. By then I would have gone everywhere :) What is your special silly skill? I’m awful with names and faces...therefore meeting the same people again and again. By now I mastered looking absolutly excited to see again while thinking “who is this person”. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I don’t what a time machine. I like the here and now, but if I could get a machine that beams me to whatever place I’m in. Would make seeing my friends around the world so much easier!! If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? A lot more traveling, but otherwise I really like what I do. I enjoy my job and volunteering...I would not really spend my time all that different. I might go out to fancy restaurants and do more shopping too, if I had lots of money. Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: “I have been an exchangestudent in 99/00 and have been active ever since. After I felt that one exchange is not enough I did 2 volunteeers... Why did you choose your host country without naming it: It has the language with the most native speakers worldwide. And it’s very very very different. What is your special silly skill? I can ride the ride the high wheeler. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I don’t know. The longer I think about the question, the lesser I can come up with an answer. If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? Same as I would now. Life is fun, why change anything? Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: Great country, much fun, hard times, friends for a lifetime, a new family. Marion Why did you choose your host country without naming it: I was a HUGE fan of Tokio Hotel! What is your special silly skill? I only have serious skills. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I would go back and have a chat with some historical figures (not sure if they’d want to chat with me though) such as the famous Serbian poet Branko Miljkovic and Gavrilo Princip, I’d want to go and spend time in Yugoslavia in the ‘60 and see if it was really as nice as some say or if they’d send me to a working camp due to criticizing the regime; I’d go to Brazil and meet young Chico Buarque and make him fall in love with me and marry me; I’d go to Germany in ‘68 and participate in the student protests... And I would totally go to the ‘70 and listen to Foucault’s lectures on Collège de France (since this is fiction, I’d also understand French)... Oh boy I’d have so much fun with this machine!!! If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? I would move to the seashore and spend time taking care of my flower garden, reading, thinking and writing. But then I would get famous with my writing and would move to a big city and enjoy champagne, cocaine and all the nasty stuff. And in my free time, which would be all the time I have, I’d still be volunteering as a way to fill my inner emptiness. At the end of the day, good that money issues get in the way... Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: A random, “just for fun” application for an exchange program escalated into 6 years of volunteering, training and traveling. Emilija Why did you choose your host country without naming it: The fictitious reason was its modern education system, but honestly I was in love with the nature and I wanted to experiment some real cold weather. What is your special silly skill? “Procrastination, expecially in this period of my life :D Being serious, I’m really good at forgetting thigs, not many people can reach my level...almost a proficient :D” If you could use a time machine, where would you go? “I would travel to 2100, to see how fast and how much we’ll actually change... and check if beer will always tast the same :D Or I would go back to 1900, to live in person this century that shape our actual world and maybe improve somethhing !” If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? On a mountain-bike or on a sail boat: not too sedentary, not too active.. Rebecca Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: “AFS ITA, AFS GER, EFIL -> IP and TR programme ECTP = Europe’s Coolest Teen Participants !” Why did you choose your host country without naming it: I want far away from Germany and I went to learn Spanish. I didn´t go with AFS. My organisation gave me my host country and i was really happy. But not with the organisation. What is your special silly skill? That’s hard... I don´t now. I like laugh and I like jokes If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I don’t know. The longer I think about the question, the lesser I can come up with an answer. If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? Same as I would now. Life is fun, why change anything? Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: Great country, much fun, hard times, friends for a lifetime, a new family. Riccardo Why did you choose your host country without naming it: You know how some people strategically choose a country where a lot of people want to go but very few actually get to spend their exchange there, so you are more likely to get selected for another country? Yeah, I did that, too, but it didn’t work out... What is your special silly skill? I am able to mechanically recite an enormous amount of anti-jokes. Only available in German, though. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I’d press the “Random” button. If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? Being a university student, studying all different kinds of courses! Robin Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: A lot of Koalas, Zebras and incredibly awesome people! Also, you never stop learning, I guess. Why did you choose your host country without naming it: I wanted to go to a country wich a little similar, applied for SH departure, got accepted and realized that the country I originally wanted to go to was only available in NH. So I picked my host country because it starts with the same letters and is roughly in the same region. What is your special silly skill? Being silly? If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I’m happy hear and now and afraid of what might happen if I use a time machine. I’m staying. If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? I would travel more but not exclusively. I would cook a lot and try all sorts of exotic ingredients and dishes. Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: AFS for me is awesome and it isn’t over yet. #SH07 #Paraguay, #NH10 #Malaysia Tabea Why did you choose your host country without naming it: I like vikings and don’t like Danish. What is your special silly skill? I can make Germans laugh. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? Assuming I could only make one trip and then get back to where I am right now, I’d like to take a look at how the world will be about 100 years from now. Torsten If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? I would open a café in a semi-hidden corner of an European capital and use it to take over the world while I master the art of espresso brewing. During the time I’m not busy secretly growing my café franchise I would be reading. Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: I thought it was gonna be a year away thingy and that would be it. Why did you choose your host country without naming it: “The first one I couldn’t pick because I got a scholarship. But still it would have been on top of my list. I always wanted to go there because everything is supposed to be just a bit bigger than in other countries. My second host country got chosen because I didn’t know a thing about it. I couldn’t even name the capital. It’s sad isn’t it? Since I was curious about the country a new different culture I’ve chosen this country. “ What is your special silly skill? Really really good (or bad :D ) at wordplays. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I wouldn’t travel to far in time and place. I would stay in the Berlin area and travel back to the year 1989. Not just because I was born in 1989. No because of the fall of the Berlin wall. It is an event which changed Europe and the western world. Since I am from the former eastern part of Germany living a life in freedom and being able to travel around the world is a great privilege which is connected to the year 1989. If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? “Oh - that’s a tough one. I kinda like the idea. But I am not sure if just money would make me happy. Probably naming the things you do with money, buying a couple nice houses around the world and since I like fast cars I am sure the one or the other Audi would suddenly appear in my garage. But what I also would like to do is to give as many scholarships to students who want to go on an exchange as possible. My first AFS experience wouldn’t have been possible without a scholarship. I am still today grateful that I was able to experience AFS. “ Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: 07/08: 2000 people, 8000 cows & 1 traffic 10/11: high temperatures, high humidity, Tereré and the word “tranquilo” -Both life changing e.. Vinicius Why did you choose your host country without naming it: Because it was the only European country for which I had absolutely no real clue about, except for the fact it has the most amazing chocolate and fries. That was a good enough reason :P What is your special silly skill? I can pee incredibly fast. And I can make really believable cat sounds. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? I would go to Paris or New York in the roaring twenties. And I would dance all day and night and write poetry and talk about real shit and I would also have a big fat white cat named Rozamunda to match my big fury coat. If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? I already tend to live my life as if money is not an object. So realistically, I would probably just do what Im going to be doing anyways: build myself an amazing tree house and buy thousands of books and musical instruments and baby pigs and cats and dogs, write novels and live there happily ever after. :) Yasar Sum up your AFS experience in a tweet: We came, we cried, we danced. Why did you choose your host country without naming it: I chose my host country, because I wanted to explore the cultural background of my dad. What is your special silly skill? To snap my fingers using two hands. If you could use a time machine, where would you go? 1968 If money wasn’t an object, how would you spend your time for the rest of your life? Reading books, educating myself, listening to music, doing housework and maybe working on a farm..?
