The Halloween/Day of the Dead topic

Lemmit and us (the volunteers of NELK) had a meeting today about the possible coming event of halloween. We were discussing about the organisational matters and presenting some ideas about it. It has come to that that my role is of a folklore researcher and that is quite of an interesting topic for me...and i will definately give my best.

So, from tomorrow I´m starting this folclore research and after I complete that, I have to study and research about the Gruntvig project for Madis.

Btw. I completed the indexing of all the books in the cupboard of the Printing Museum office. It was thorough work and I could finally use some of my librarian/archivist skills :)

So, tomorrow, back to research!

notebooks, notebooks, notebooks

Lemmit has told me that we have to make a total of 120 notebooks. half of them A4 size and other half A3. I have cut a lot of paper today and I am not even close to half...we will need much more paper than we currently have :)
I see that I have quite sharpened my technique...I seem to make less mistakes than before...which is a great thing!

Tomorrow I´ll probably start working with Madis on the Gruntvig project and I´m really looking forward to that ;)

So, until I stop being lazy to post the pictures from Sänna...I bid thee farewell :D

Sänna culture manor

Yesterday (and this morning) I have been to the Sänna culture manor, 75 km away from Tartu.
It is a truly beautiful place. It has a huge house which half is still under renovation and half is nicely renovated :)
I have been there with Madis and two other volunteers Anna and Tobias.
There I have ment a German EVS volunteer, which unfortunately, doesn't speak english.
Other than that, we had a great time with a big swing and an interesting tour along the line of the planets - planetarium (cause there are planets spread around the area in regard to our galaxy...quite intriguing...and of course, it has the sun in the center :)

I will post the picture one of these days :)

Cheers!

more office work

Working with Madis on the Community AiR residency programme. We have been putting together an application to apply for funding.
Today I have finished editing the "budget" part of the application.
Tomorrow we'll probably submit it. As for the Printing Museum, I haven't been doing anything there lately...and the only activity for me there will be this Saturday cause there's a workshop.
So, that's pretty much it - as I've said, I'm in the office all the time doing research and dealing with different kind of projects and web pages.
I'm waiting for a reply from the Irish National Printing Museum regarding something...but it seems I'll never get it...

Well, until next time, cheers!

the EVS mid-term evaluation

So, the mid-term evaluation is coming near...20 days left.
I´m looking forward to meet other EVS volunteers and discuss about their projects with them.
After the meeting soon comes my desired holidays...and I´m searching for other opportunities, maybe Ireland or Spain...something like that :)

Long way to go until then, but I keep my hopes high!

Back to work now - whatever that is :P

Cheers!

researching on my own

Now when Madis is gone to business meetings and I don't have stuff to do in the museum...I am in the office translating the webpage and researching on my own about NGOs.
I will probably establish one in the arts and culture sector...but that's just an idea for now. Much research needs to be done beforehand.

These few days I will continue doing just that...until Madis returns and we have some concrete assignments regarding Tartu AiR or my own project.
My mid-term evaluation is on 23rd and lasts for 4 days, so I have to take care of that. I can feel that it will be 4 long days full of talking and activities.

Well, for the time being I'll concentrate on the tasks at hand and leave out all the rest.

Good night. Cheers!
