Preparation Team Destelheide 24

Hey everyone! My name is Marie and I will be camp coordinator for the third time at the Peace Camp, nice to meet you! My pronouns are she/her 🙂

I’m French and to be more precise I’m from Brittany, a region in the north-west of France, where we eat good crepes, drink cider and surf. 🏄 My role with AFS and EFIL? I started working for EFIL in September 2022 as a project manager, I’m coordinating the Peace Programme, the Volunteer Summer Summit and other volunteer events. I’m an outsider, as you say eheh because unfortunately, I’ve never done an AFS exchange. However, I have had the opportunity to move around the last few years, for example in Czech Republic during my Erasmus or in Rome where I worked for an NGO last year. I’m very happy to be part of this adventure with you. Fun fact about me? I’m teaching yoga and I’m an overthinker. My motivations for this Peace 2024? I see it as a challenge and a great opportunity to meet volunteers from the network. It’s possible that we’ll do a yoga session together during Peace. I love yoga and I’ve been teaching it for over a year now. Apart from that, I’m a very good listener, sociable and I always try to be positive.

I’m Andrew, and I’m the PR Coordinator for Destelheide at PEACE camp this year! I’m from a place called Galway in the west of Ireland, and I think it’s the best part of the country even though it rains so so so very much.

I’ve been an AFS volunteer for nearly ten years, and I’ve been a volunteer at the Volunteer Summer Summit with EFIL for the past two years on the Support/PR team and the Trainers team. I’ve never been to a PEACE camp, even though I did an exchange as part of the PEACE programme in 2015 (it was called ECTP then). I had to come home a little early so I missed the camp, and I’ve been looking forward to going as a volunteer ever since!

I know how much of an impact PEACE can have on participants because I’ve mentored loads of Irish students who went in the last few years, so I can’t wait to be a part of a great week in Brussels! 🙂

Hey, hey, everybody!
My name is Natalia and I’m very excited to see you at PEACE this year!

I was born and raised in Russia but had a chance to live in 3 other beautiful countries — Norway, Denmark, and Germany (where I currently live)!

Outside of AFS I love to travel and have every creative hobby possible, I also study media and communications.

I’ve been an active AFS volunteer for the last 3 years and PEACE Camp has always been one of my favorite events within the network as you meet great people, get a sense of belonging, and see that your actions matter! This year I am a Trainer Team Coordinator and can’t wait for you to hear about the workshops we are preparing!
