Hi everyone! I am Alejandro from Spain, and I wanna tell you a little bit about my experience volunteering in the Ljubljana Pride association. Since I have been working in the Youth Program, my main role has been implementing different kinds of events for young queer people. At the beginning, I was mainly working on the \u2018Pride Connects\u2019 project, where I implemented various activities with the aim of creating an open space for LGBTIQ+ young people through topics that are of interest to them. For this reason, I discussed topics such as Eurovision, the importance of drag in our community, or even created a collage about how we imagine a ‘Queertopia’!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After some months, I started to work on the \u2018Rainbow Europe\u2019 project, which focused on the importance of voting on the European Parliament elections that happened on 9th of June for LGBTIQ+ people. Thanks to this, I was able to hold different events in various places, even outside of Ljubljana! One of the most successful events took place in Koper, a beautiful city on the Slovenian coast. In short, thanks to developing this series of activities for 10 months, I have been able to connect with LGBTIQ+ young people, as well as acquire a series of skills that will help me continue working within the framework of youth work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, another of my main roles in this volunteering has been to coordinate the Ljubljana Pride merchandising at the Pride Festival, from June 8 to 15. While it meant an increase in my responsibility, it also meant that my coworkers trust me enough to let me take on more important tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all, I have carried out tasks of all kinds, which has allowed me to learn from various aspects and trust that I can do it. Thanks to the support from my coordinator and my mentor, I was also able to carry out different types of tasks without fear of making mistakes, because I knew that I would always have their support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
