We are very glad to welcome our first volunteer for the EDU-LAB project, Theodoros Plessas from Athens, Greece.

Theodoros was recruited through the Association of European Border Region’s (AEBR) Interreg Volunteer Youth program, which in turn discovered him through the European Solidarity Corps portal, a new European Union initiative to enable young people to volunteer in projects, actively working for the benefit of local communities all around Europe.

Theodoros will be helping us by putting his IT skills to use, for example by participating in the development and testing of the e-learning courses we are currently working on and maintaining the project’s website and newsletter. He will also be involved in communications with our project partners through both exchanging e-mails with them and teleconferencing, doing design work and preparing a transnational workshop taking place in Maribor, Slovenia this September.

You can also follow Theodoros’s personal journal about his experience in living in Stuttgart and volunteering for the EDU-LAB project at the following address: http://myinterregstory.wordpress.com

We are very excited to be working with Theodoros. Stay tuned for more information about his work with us!
