Elizaveta Gavrilenko / 28 anni / Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia
Ciao a tutti!
My name is Elizabeth and I’m from Russia. I studied international journalism at the university. Last three years before coming to Italy I lived in Moscow and worked for a radio station.
First time when I learned how important it is to take care of nature was when my grandfather told me. We were walking along the river, and he told me that many years ago this river was wider and deeper. Even ships could sail down it, and there were a lot of fish in its waters. But since the reservoir was built upstream, the river has been shallow, and many kinds of fish have disappeared.
Therefore, the topic of ecology is very important and interesting to me. For many times in my job I had to write news about environmental problems in Russia. I was particularly interested in communicating with environmentalists for writing texts that would help people understand the importance of these problems.
Thanks to my project with Legambiente Prato I can understand this topic even more deeply.

Salam!
My name is Elnara. I am 21 years old girl from Baku, the bright and colorful capital of Azerbaijan. I am a person that has the eagerness to learn more every day in order to become a greater person. I posses communicational skills due to my volunteering activities. I am enthusiastic and friendly one, who loves to socialize.
I had the privilege of working for AIESEC in a volunteer role in Bosnia and Herzegovina and then continued my path in Azerbaijan as a manager of 2 international projects, as an operation manager of foreingers’ group and recruitment manager for locals.
I learned valuable professional skills such as customer service, project planning, operating procedures, critical thinking and marketing communications. Additionally, I have a lot of hobbies like being guide for foreingers, attend dance master classes ,sport competitions, reading books and learning languages.
Why EVS? I didn’t want to «stop» my «international experience» and it was the main goal to try ERASMUS. Currently I am volunteering here in Prato and it is amazing , multitasking and interesting!
Challenge yourself , leave your comfort zone and apply for EVS because it is worth it!

We must understand that we live in an environment which should be protected not only for our kids but also for their grandchildren. By taking care of the environment we take care about ourselves. Thus, whatever you do, it doesn’t matter what business you run, don’t forget to take care of yourself.
