MARCOS
IN REUNION Motivation motivation
About me
I wanted to be part of an association like Mission Locale where young people with different social situations can find their place.
Hi! My name is Marcos, I´m 28 years old, I´m from Spain but I live in Leeds. I work as a cook, food, my passion.
The project
The project
Mainly I was in Mission Locale, an organization to help young people to get a job in Reunion Island or in another European country.
Free Time
Accommodation I was living in an awesome apartment in Saint Joseph, in the south of the Island.
I was participating in some workshop...
...with the young people of “Comité Jeune” (multimedia workshop, theatre workshop and chat on current topics) Mainly I was teaching some basic English classes to young people.
I used to explore the Island with Ana, my project mate. We went to the amazing mountains, waterfalls, beaches and other incredible places around Reunion.
What did I learn professionally?
Professionally I learnt French and a little bit of Creole to communicate properly with people here. And, how Mission Locale helps young people with different projects to get a job.
Ana and me had everything we need to be comfortable all the time.
What did I learn personally?
Personally I learnt how is possible to live together many different cultures in the same place of land, and most importantly, living respecting each other.
