3. 1. What kind of volunteer work do you
have in your city? School?
4. UEFA EURO 2012 experience
in Kyiv
Becoming a Euro 2012 volunteer
was just such a chance.
In Poland and Ukraine,
organisers received a record
23,965 applications from fans
worldwide to work as a
volunteer. More than 5,000
volunteers aided UEFA's full-time
staff in 20 areas of operation,
working at official UEFA EURO
2012 sites such as stadiums,
airports and hotels.
5. From November
2013 until February
2014 a lot of
students
participated in
volunteering work
in the Revolution of
Dignity. Some of
them helped with
meals.
6. A group of Kyiv students is
setting up an improvised
picnic on the parapet of a
fountain on Kyiv’s Maidan
Nezalezhnosti. We cut rough
slices of brown bread, and
top it generously with fish in
tomato sauce from a freshly
open can. More cans are
stacked in the bed of the
non-working fountain,
waiting to be opened. One
of the students in the group
holds up a poster, offering
free food and coffee for
anyone who needs it. We
had thousands of volunteers
by that day-24th of
November.
7. People offer their
help to guard the
site, clean the
mess, cook in the
kitchen, find places
to stay for those
arriving from
outside Kyiv and
organize rotation of
those who play
music and give
speeches round the
clock, among other
duties.
8. In February it was
very snowy and the
students also helped
to clean the Maidan
territory.
9. 2. How many students from your class
participate in any kind of volunteer work ?
(Percent if possible)
About 56% of the students from our
group (2013-2014)
10. 3. What do you think about the
importance of volunteer work in your city?
What can we do to make our life in the
city better? If you can please share with
us the examples of volunteer work you
take part in.
11. It was important to
guaranty safety and
a lot of people
helped to check
bags at the
entrance.
Bottles with liquid
and fire sticks were
forbidden.
12. First of all, I want to say that
thanks to the volunteer work
life in our city is developing
and becoming better. There
are a lot of kinds of volunteer
work in our city, which can
improve it.
But I think that the main aim
of such work is to connect
people with the same opinion
and interest, who want to
make personal contribution for
improvement and development
of the city. I think that
everyone can do something for
it, because everyone can have
a big influence in pleasant
changes.
Our city's destiny is in our
hands!
