Describe how and why did you get involved volunteering at EUSA events?
I saw an advertisement while I was going to the gym. I found the website on the Internet and filled the form. I got involved because I wanted to see how this events look from the other side. I am also interested in volleyball and these were the reasons I applied.
"I got the opportunity to practice my language skills, as well as feeling the great atmosphere of the championships."
Tell us about your involvement in sport.
I used to play volleyball when I was younger but I got injured. For now, I really like going to the gym and running. I also like watching national teams, especially when they play volleyball and basketball.
Describe your experience of volunteering at the European Universities Championships 2017. Is this your first time volunteering at an international sports event?
It was the first time I took part in such an event. I could see all the preparations. I met a lot of great people who are my friends now. I got the opportunity to practice my language skills, as well as feeling the great atmosphere of the championships.
"Just fill in the form and experience one of the best adventures in your life!"
In 2018 the European Universities Games 2018 will take place in Coimbra, Portugal, we would love to see you there again! Will you apply again for the EUSA Volunteer Programme?
I really would like to apply again but it all depends on my studies and the costs of getting there.
This is your chance! What is your message to young Europeans interested in volunteering?
Don't think too much about applying...Just fill in the form and experience one of the best adventures in your life!
EUSA would like to thank Katarzyna for her hard workk in Rzeszow, the event would not have been the same without you! We hope you can make it to Coimbra for the Games in July!
