Mariam, why did you start volunteering?
I started volunteering to gain experience and skills that I need to be successful in my future; at the same time, I am very interested in Sustainable Development and its practices. Due to those two reasons CSD international was a perfect option; it gives me a platform and space to be creative, learn by mistakes and be a valuable member of a global society. Being able to participate in international projects is a great opportunity, too.
Tell us more about your traveling experiences
Traveling for me is a way of discovering other cultures and societies; visiting foreign countries helps me to gain knowledge and see the best practices of other countries. For example, I have been in Germany, Switzerland and Italy and during those times I learned what small details I can change to be more eco-friendly;
How can you connect Georgian youth to European and what would you change?
In Europe, volunteering is very common and young people are very active; I've learned a lot from my European friends; But I can say that Georgian youth became more active after we started strong cooperation and communication with European countries, which will have a long-term positive outcome for our country and for the future generation.
Thank you Mariam for an interview and your contributions. We are happy to have you at our center :)
