Is there a life after ESC? Blog

10.07.2025 Servizio Civile

Ciao,

I’m Danylo from Ukraine, and my ESC journey in Lavis has almost come to an end. Looking back in 2024, it was not a perfect ride. But that’s exactly what made it transformative.

The challenges I once feared became steps I now stand on. I’ve learned to navigate around and embrace uncertainty, while shaping my ideas and making local impact.

The project in Comune di Lavis helped me grow not only as a volunteer, but as a person.

I truly re-opened myself:
learned about what drives me, what I’m good at, and what things I can give to the community wherever I am.

Overall, I’m leaving this chapter with a suitcase full of memories, new skills, and confidence that comes from real experience.

My first (and last) ESC has been about discovering myself along the way.
And yes, there is life after ESC – with a new version of me in the main role...

Danylo
