Street educator. Murad Al-Quaraan

The European Voluntary Service (EVS) project, “Street educator”, took place in the small town of Naujamiestis, in the Panevezys district in Lithuania. The idea was to bring people from Lithuania and Jordan to work together, and to encourage them to develop their understanding of each other’s countries and cultures. A volunteer from Jordan was hosted by a Lithuanian family and he had the opportunity of staying at the town’s parish. During his stay he and the local priest had many interesting conversations which helped both sides get to know each others religions and cultures. They even shared their discussions with other people in universities, schools and a prison for women in Lithuania. Together with the catholic priest they visited Siauliai university several times and gave seminars about Islam and Arabic culture. The young Jordanian also gave Arabic lessons, as well as sharing his culture with members of the community, including disadvantaged children at local schools.
