Hyvää uutta vuotta 2016!

Sputnikin toiminta on taas pyörähtänyt käyntiin normaalisti joulun jälkeen. Erilaisia muutoksia on tapahtunut näin vuoden vaihtuessa. Meidän EVS Alex päätti joulun alla keskeyttää vapaaehtoistyönsä kovan koti-ikävän takia, ja hän on palannut takaisin kotimaahansa Ranskaan. Tänä päivänä meille saapuu uusi EVS Margot, joka myöskin on kotoisin Ranskasta. Margot tulee työskentelemään Spukessa kevään ajan yhdessä toisen EVS:n, Annikan kanssa.

Lisäksi meillä on tällä viikolla aloittanut kaksi uutta reipasta harjoittelijaa, Sirkku ja Terhi. Tytöt ovat meillä helmikuuhun asti harjoittelussa, joten kannattaa tulla moikkaamaan myös heitä.

Keväälle meillä on monenlaista mukavaa ohjelmaa luvassa. Ainakin tällä hetkellä on varmistunut Robinin keikka Ylivieskan liikuntakeskuksessa sunnuntaina 7.2.2016. Lippuja voi ostaa täältä. Hiihtolomalla suuntaamme Kuopioon koko perheen retkelle. Retkestä on tällä hetkellä tietoa Sputnikin instagram -tilillä @Sputnik2022. Päivittelemme tänne blogiin myös tiedot lähipäivinä.

Oikein hyvää alkavaa vuotta 2016 kaikille ja nähdään Spukessa!

Esittelyssä Spuken EVS Annika

Esittelemme täällä blogissa Spuken työntekijät, ja tällä kertaa esittelyvuorossa on heinäkuun lopussa Spukeen tullut EVS Annika Itävallasta. EVS tarkoittaa Eurooppalaista vapaaehtoistyöntekijää. Spukessa on yleensä yhtä aikaa 2 EVS:ää, jotka työskentelevät mm. avoimissa ovissa.

Who are you and where are you coming from?
Hei. My name is Annika Bertole and I'm from Austria. I'm 19 years old and my birthday is on the 8th of June 1996. 


Tell something about your family.
In Austria I live together with my mother Claudia, her boyfriend Manfred, my little brother Raphael who is 16 years old, my little half-sister Hanna who is 6 years old my dog Sam and my cat Jack. Who live in a nice, big house with a garden.
My father Peter is living in another town which is not far away. He is living in a flat together with his wife Astrid and my half-sister Emma who is 9 years old. 


How long have you been in Sputnik?
I came to Finland on the 31st of July 2015. Now I am almost one month here. I started working the 3rd of August. =)
All together I will stay 9 months here. 


What are you doing?
At the moment I'm making a voluntary year and that's why I'm here working as an assistant youthworker here in Sputnik. I don't have a special education on it, but maybe I will study youthwork one day. 


What are you doing in your freetime?
During my freetime I love reading some books. Sometimes I can spend the whole day just sitting somewhere and read =). Cooking is also one of my hobbies. I went to a school where I learnt cooking and since then it's kind of a passion. Since I'm here I am joining the gym to get fit ;). As I am a member of the Austrian waterrescue, I really love to swim, that's a reason why I'm joining the gym because there is a swimming pool =). 


What are you afraid of?
Hmm...that's a good question. I don't know. I don't like horror movies and I never watch them because I know I would be afraid. =) 


If you go to pizzeria, what do you order?
Normally I'm ordering all the time something different. I really like trying new food. But in pizzeria I love to eat a pizza with salami on it. =) 


What kind of music do you listen?
At first I need to say that i can listen to almost everything. But my favourite music is alternative and metal ;) But not all metal only special bands. 


Tell something about yourself when you were 10 years younger.
That's difficult that's already so long time ago. ;) Hmm I was in primary school. At that time I was joining dance classes in a town nearby with one of my best friends. I liked dancing but i quit it I think 2 years after that.
During my freetime I was most of the time outside playing with my neighbours. We were climbing on trees, driving around with the bike or playing ball games =). To my mind I had a really nice childhood. 


What would you like to do in the future?
Hmm at the moment I don't know. Probably i want to start studying in Vienna, Austria. Maybe something with youthwork or with languages. I love learning different languages. I already leart English and French and now I will learn finnish =).
The most important thing for me for the future is that I will be happy. No matter what I'm doing. 

Tiistain avoimet ovet

Oikein hyvää uutta vuotta kaikille!
Tiedoksi, että tänä vuonna tiistain avoimet ovet muuttuvat k-13 avoimiksi. Tiistai-illat ovat aikaisemmin olleet vain 7-8 -luokkalaisille, mutta tästä eteenpäin tiistaisin ovat tervetulleita kaikki seiskaluokkalaisista ylöspäin. Tämä muutos on tehty nuorilta tulleen palautteen perusteella.

Meillä on aloittanut uusi EVS, eli Javi Espanjasta. Javi on Spukessa seuraavat 9 kuukautta. Javin lisäksi uutena henkilönä meillä on seuraavat neljä viikkoa työharjoittelussa Ilona. Tapaatte sekä Javin, että Ilonan avoimissa ovissa. :) Tervetuloa!

Esittelyssä Spuken EVS Filiz

Filiz

Who are you and where are you coming from?

Hello! My name is Filiz Ugurlu and I am from Austria. My Dad is from Turkey and my parents decided to give me a turkish name. The name Filiz means in english offspring.


Tell something about your family.
I live with my parents together in the city called Vorarlberg. I have one brother his name is Gökhan. He is already 28 years old and married. Last year i became aunt of his little daughter Beren. After school and one year working as a kindergardenteacher I decided to become a volunteer in Finland.


How long have you been in Sputnik?
Now I am almost 3 months in Sputnik working as a Youth leader.


What are you doing?
 I am enjoying the time with the young people playing billiard, bingo, skibpo or only talking with them about the life. Often we are cooking together and sometimes also special finnish desserts - Yummy! Another part of my work is to organize the movie and cooking evenings for the students of Centria. Most of them are Erasmus students and it’s very interesting to meet people from other countries.


What are you doing in your freetime? 
In my freetime I like to meet friends and going out. In the summer I was almost every week at the lake and enjoyed the view. Also I love to go with friends to the gym and dance. When you are dancing you can let your whole power out. As a volunteer you are meeting people from all over the world because of that traveling is now another new hobbie of mine.


What are you afraid of?
What i am really afraid of are spiders and horror movies!

If you go to pizzeria, what do you order?

When you are in a Pizzeria you should not order gnocchi, pasta or something like that… It has to be a good big Pizza. My favorite Pizza is Funghi oooor a Kebab Pizza

What kind of music do you listen?
Actually I am listening to all kinds of music. When I am at home the first thing I o is to turn up my favorite song. But i love Indierock and one of my favorite bands are The XX and the Killers.

Tell something about yourself when you were 10 years younger?
When I was 10 years old I always dreamed about what I will be someday. And I always wanted to become a famous singer. I had a really great childhood in Austria! 

What would you like to do in the future? 
For my future all doors are open. But first I want to enjoy my life in Finland. And we will see which life-travel is waiting for me
