Nii nagu igal s\u00fcgisel, on ka sel aastal meie noortekeskuse tiimiga liitunud uus v\u00e4lisvabatahtlik Antoni Adamczyk. Esmakordselt on meie v\u00e4rskeim liige p\u00e4rit Poolast, mis tekitab k\u00f5igis suurt elevust. Ootame huviga j\u00e4rgmise 11 kuu jooksul saadavaid teadmisi, kogemusi ja m\u00e4lestusi. Selleks, et Antoniga l\u00e4hemalt tuttavaks saada, k\u00fcsisime temalt m\u00f5ned k\u00fcsimused:<\/p>\n
Tutvusta ennast!<\/b><\/p>\n
Tere! Minu nimi on Antoni ja ma olen p\u00e4rit Poolast, Koninist. Olen 19-aastane ja just l\u00f5petasin g\u00fcmnaasiumi, kus l\u00e4bisin IB programmi ning sain rahvusvahelise diplomi. Mul on palju hobisid, millest m\u00f5ned on kalastamine, rattas\u00f5it ja lugemine. J\u00e4rgmised 11 kuud, oma vaheaasta jooksul, olen vabatahtlik Valdeku noortekeskuses.<\/p>\n
Mis inspireeris sind liituma meie organisatsiooniga vabatahtlikuna ja mida loodad oma aja jooksul siia panustada v\u00f5i \u00f5ppida?<\/b><\/p>\n
Kui m\u00f5tlesin, mida teha oma vaheaasta jooksul, oli minu prioriteediks teha midagi t\u00e4henduslikku ja olla see muutus, mida ma maailmas n\u00e4ha tahan. T\u00f6\u00f6tamine noortekeskuses, mis toetab mitteformaalset haridust ja isiklikku arengut, oli minu jaoks ideaalne valik. Olen ambitsioonikas ja soovin avaldada noortele olulist m\u00f5ju, luues koos oma kolleegidega keskkonna, mis soodustab loovust ja kirge. Loodan sellesse panustada ning samal ajal arendada oma pehmeid oskusi ja enesekindlust.<\/p>\n
Kuidas sobitub see kogemus sinu isiklike v\u00f5i professionaalsete eesm\u00e4rkidega?<\/b><\/p>\n
Minu t\u00f6\u00f6 Valdekus on kindlasti eelis minu CV-s, kui kandideerin \u00fclikoolidesse \u00fcle kogu maailma (ka Tallinnas \ud83d\ude09). See kogemus avab mulle uusi arenguv\u00f5imalusi ning igap\u00e4evased suhtlused, mis mul juba on ja mis veel ees ootavad, tugevdavad minu oskust t\u00f6\u00f6tada rahvusvahelises keskkonnas inimestega erinevatest kultuuritaustadest. See vabatahtlik kogemus aitab mul uurida, miks inimesed vajavad kohti nagu Valdeku, mis omakorda laiendab minu filosoofilisi teadmisi. Erinevate \u00fcrituste raames arendan oma organiseerimisoskusi, mis v\u00f5ib tulevikus olla oluline kogemus minu v\u00f5imalikus karj\u00e4\u00e4ris n\u00e4iteks festivalide korraldajana.<\/p>\n
Millised meie organisatsiooni missiooni osad k\u00f5netavad sind k\u00f5ige rohkem?<\/b><\/p>\n
Mulle meeldib v\u00e4ga kogu noortekeskuste idee Eestis \u2013 midagi, mida ma soovin, et oleks olemas ka Poolas. Missioon tuua noored kokku ja luua koht, kus nad saavad olla loovad ja \u00fcksteist inspireerida, on fenomenaalne ja imetlusv\u00e4\u00e4rne. Just selle missiooni t\u00f5ttu otsustasin liituda ja anda oma panuse.<\/p>\n
Kirjelda oma ideaalset p\u00e4eva meie juures \u2013 millised tegevused v\u00f5i \u00fclesanded pakuvad sulle k\u00f5ige rohkem r\u00f5\u00f5mu?<\/b><\/p>\n
Minu ideaalne p\u00e4ev algaks sellega, et tulen kohale veidi enne avamist, et j\u00f5uda s\u00f5numitele vastata ja teha pisut kontorit\u00f6\u00f6d. Seej\u00e4rel avan noortekeskuse, kus juba m\u00f5ned lapsed ootavad v\u00e4ljas. Siis saame k\u00f5ik koos lauam\u00e4nge m\u00e4ngida ja r\u00e4\u00e4kida oma p\u00e4evast v\u00f5i muudest teemadest, mis jutuks tulevad. Hiljem, p\u00e4rast l\u00f5unapausi, kui ilm lubab, m\u00e4ngime veidi korvpalli ja veedame aega \u00f5ues. \u00dcldiselt arvan, et minu ideaalse p\u00e4eva k\u00f5ige olulisem osa ei ole ainult see, milliseid tegevusi ma teen, vaid suhtlused ja inimesed, kellega kohtun.<\/p>\n
Milliseid hobisid v\u00f5i tegevusi naudid v\u00e4ljaspool vabatahtlikku t\u00f6\u00f6d? Kas on midagi, mis aitaks teistel sind paremini tundma \u00f5ppida?<\/b><\/p>\n
Peale juba mainitud hobide olen suur jalgpallif\u00e4nn, eriti oma koduliiga Ekstraklasa, kus toetan kirglikult oma kodumeeskonda Lech Pozna\u0144. Lugemisega on seotud ka minu huvi filosoofia vastu, eriti prantsuse absurdismi ja eksistentsialismi vastu (kui tahad r\u00e4\u00e4kida Albert Camusest \u2013 igal ajal ja igas kohas). Kuulan ka v\u00e4ga erinevaid muusikastiile ning minu salarelv on erakordselt l\u00f5busate faktide jagamine!<\/p>\n
Kui saaksid proovida kellegi teise rolli organisatsioonis \u00fcheks p\u00e4evaks, siis kelle oma ja miks?<\/b><\/p>\n
Arvestades minu eelnevaid vastuseid, pole vist \u00fcllatav, et kindlasti Evely oma, sest ma tahaksin v\u00e4ga n\u00e4ha, kuidas noortekeskus toimib ja p\u00fcsti p\u00fcsib. Arvan, et naudiksin seda rolli, kuna see on \u00fchelt poolt v\u00e4ga n\u00f5udlik, kuid teiselt poolt v\u00e4ga rahuldust pakkuv. Ka oma varasemates vabatahtlikes tegevustes veetsin palju aega korraldajatega, sest pole paremat viisi \u00f5ppida, kuidas \u00fcritusi ja asutusi nagu noortekeskus juhtida, kui vaadata ja r\u00e4\u00e4kida nendega, kes seda teevad.<\/p>\n
Kas sul on eeskujusid v\u00f5i inspiratsiooniallikaid, mis on m\u00f5jutanud sinu arengut?<\/b><\/p>\n
Mul ei ole kunagi olnud \u00fchte kindlat eeskuju, kes oleks mind kujundanud, kuid see ei t\u00e4henda, et poleks inimesi, keda ma imetlen ja kes on mind inspireerinud. Esimene inimene, keda pean mainima, on mu isa, kes on ja j\u00e4\u00e4b mulle eeskujuks t\u00e4nu oma laiale oskustevalikule ja varases t\u00e4iskasvanueas omandatud kogemustele. Kui r\u00e4\u00e4kida kuulsatest inimestest, siis mind on m\u00f5jutanud Nikola Tesla ja Albert Camus. Olen Tesla elulugu lugenud v\u00e4ga palju kordi ning tema lugu h\u00e4mmastab mind siiani \u2013 kuidas tema teedrajavad ideed l\u00fckati tagasi konkurentide ahnuse t\u00f5ttu. Albert Camus oli see kirjanik, kes inspireeris mind filosoofiasse s\u00fcvenema, ning sellest ajast peale on see minu suurim huvi ja t\u00f5en\u00e4oliselt ka minu tulevane eriala \u00fclikoolis.<\/p>\n
Milline t\u00f6\u00f6- v\u00f5i elukogemus on olnud k\u00f5ige v\u00e4\u00e4rtuslikum sinu kujunemisel?<\/b><\/p>\n
Arvan, et \u00fcks s\u00fcndmus, mis m\u00f5jutas mind k\u00f5ige rohkem, oli kodulinnast lahkumine g\u00fcmnaasiumi p\u00e4rast. Olin vaid 15-aastane ja pidin j\u00e4rsku \u00f5ppima, kuidas iseseisvalt elada t\u00e4iesti uues keskkonnas, kus ma ei tundnud kedagi. Usun, et selle \u00f5ppimine ja iseseisvuse omandamine oli nii k\u00f5ige raskem kui ka k\u00f5ige \u00f5petlikum kogemus mu elus.<\/p>\n

V\u00e4lisvabatahtlikud saabuvad Eestisse Euroopa Solidaarsuskorpuse (ESK) projekti raames 11 kuuks, osaledes selle aja jooksul m\u00f5ne endale huvipakkuva asutuse tegevuses. Antoni teenistus l\u00f5ppeb 31.07.2026. Noortekeskustes on nende \u00fclesanneteks noortega suhtlemine, noorsoot\u00f6\u00f6tajate abistamine ning oma kultuuri tutvustamine huvitegevuste ja \u00fcrituste kaudu.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n ENG<\/b><\/p>\n Just like every autumn, our youth center team is excited to welcome a new international volunteer \u2014 this year it\u2019s Antoni Adamczyk! For the very first time, our newest team member comes from Poland, which makes it extra special. Over the next 11 months, we can\u2019t wait to share new knowledge, experiences, and memories together. To get to know Antoni a little better, we asked him a few fun questions:<\/p>\n Introduce yourself!<\/b><\/p>\n Hi! My name is Antoni, and I\u2019m form Konin, Poland. I\u2019m 19 and just graduated high school, where I finished IB programme with an international diploma. I have a lot of hobbies, some of which are fishing, biking and reading. For the next 11 months, for my gap year, I will be the volunteer at Valdeku Noortekeskus.<\/p>\n What inspired you to join our organization as a volunteer, and what do you hope to contribute or learn during your time here?<\/b><\/p>\n When I was thinking about what to do during my gap year, my priority was to do something meaningful and to be the change I want to see in the world. Working at a youth centre, which supports informal education and personal growth, was a perfect choice for me. I am ambitious and wish to make a substantial impact on youth by, together with my co-workers, creating an environment which breeds creativity and passion. I hope to contribute to that and at the same time work on my soft skills and self-confidence.<\/p>\n How does this experience fit with your personal or professional goals?<\/b><\/p>\n My work here at Valdeku will be a clear advantage in my CV when applying to universities across the world (in Tallinn as well \ud83d\ude09). My experience here will open new possibilities of growth for me and everyday interactions I already have had and will be having will strengthen my ability to work in international environments, with people from different cultural backgrounds. This volunteering activity will help me to explore why do people need places like Valdeku, which in turn will broaden my philosophical knowledge. During the wide range of events, I will work on my organisational skills, which could be a vital experience for my career as possibly a festival organiser.<\/p>\n What parts of our organization\u2019s mission resonate most with you?<\/b><\/p>\n I love the whole idea behind youth centres in Estonia, something I wish we had in Poland. The mission to bring kids together and create a place where they can be creative and inspire each other is phenomenal and admirable. Because of that mission I decided to join and make my contribution.<\/p>\n Describe your ideal day with us\u2014what activities or tasks bring you the most joy?<\/b><\/p>\n My ideal day would start with coming in a bit before the opening, giving me time to catch up with the messages and some time for office work. After that, I open the youth centre with some kids already waiting outside. Then we can all play board games and talk about our days and any other topics that may be brought up. Later, after a lunch break, if the weather allows for it, we will play some basketball and spend time outside. Overall, I think that the crucial part of my ideal day is not just what activities I do, but the interactions I have and the people I get to meet.<\/p>\n What hobbies or activities do you enjoy outside of your volunteer work? Is there something that would help others get to know you better?<\/b><\/p>\n Besides the above-mentioned hobbies, I also am a big football fan, especially my home league called Ekstraklasa, where I zealously support my home team Lech Pozna\u0144. Connected with reading is my passion for philosophy, especially French notions of absurdism and existentialism (if you want to talk about Albert Camus, anytime anywhere). I also listen to a wide range of music genres and my ace in the hole is throwing extraordinary fun facts!<\/p>\n If you could try out someone else\u2019s role in the organization for a day, whose would it be, and why?<\/b><\/p>\n I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be a surprise bearing in mind my previous answers, but definitely Evely, as I would love to see how you keep the youth centre up and running. I think I\u2019d enjoy this role as it on one hand is really demanding, on the other really rewarding. In my previous volunteering activities, I always hung out with the organisers as there\u2019s no better way of learning how to organise events and run institutions such as youth centre than to watch and talk to the ones who do it.<\/p>\n Are there any role models or sources of inspiration that have influenced your growth?<\/b><\/p>\n There\u2019s no one person that shaped my growth and I never really had a clear role model, yet it doesn\u2019t mean that there aren\u2019t people that I admire and that inspired me to be who I am today. First person I must mention is my dad, who was and will be someone I look up to, thanks to his wide range of skills and the experience he gained in early adulthood. When it comes to famous people, the ones who influenced me are Nikola Tesla and Albert Camus. I have gone over Tesla\u2019s biography many, many times and his story amazes me to this day, how his pioneering ideas were dismissed because of the greed of his competition. Albert Camus was the writer who inspired me to delve into philosophy and since then, it is still my biggest interest and very likely, my future major for university.<\/p>\n What work or life experience has been the most valuable in shaping who you are today?<\/b><\/p>\n I think that one event that had the biggest impact on who I am now was moving out of my hometown for high school. I was just 15 and I suddenly needed to learn how to live all by myself in a completely new environment, where I knew no one. I believe learning how to do that and how to be independent was both the hardest and the most edifying experience of my life.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n International volunteers arrive in Estonia through the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) project for an 11-month period, during which they participate in the activities of an organization of interest to them. Antoni will stay with us until 31.07.2026. In youth centers, their tasks include interacting with young people, assisting youth workers, and sharing their culture through various activities and events.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nii nagu igal s\u00fcgisel, on ka sel aastal meie noortekeskuse tiimiga liitunud uus v\u00e4lisvabatahtlik Antoni Adamczyk.
