Did you ever feel like you have to somehow appreciate all the good things you have and take for granted in your life? Now you have the chance to do so and to give back to the city and the people that welcomed you in your Erasmus journey. Make a difference in your Erasmus and let’s improve someone’s life by providing them a good cozy meal! Come with us to help give someone a better night!
CASA is an institution that helps people that do not have a home or families in risk situations, by mainly giving them a meal every day. We will give you the opportunity to work at their restaurant, where they give dinner to people in need. If you think that you won’t have time to do this all semester, but you want to come anyway, feel free to join us!
We had more exchange students interested in participating than the places we had for the event. The activity went very well and the feedback we got was very positive, since the students refered they had an amazing evening and that it made them feel very good and lucky for what they have. Even after the event we had many people showing their interest and asking how they could join this volunteering project.
