My experience in "Mokslo Sriuba"

At the start of my second year, I enrolled in a great organization called "Mokslo Sriuba" and I decided now, to reflect my experiences during almost one year of volunteering.
"Mokslo Sriuba" is an organization that creates videos for the purpose to popularize science in our country;s community. These videos are broadcasted in the national channel and also posted on youtube. Video topics' range from analysis of modern food to quantum computing. Also, one of the main aims of the videos is to present complex scientific information as understandable for an ordinary person as possible.
My participation in creating these videos started from the newsletter of an organization that shares volunteering opurtunities. I needed a glance at "Mokslo Sriuba" advertisement to be hooked and immeadiatelly I contacted them to begin working.
The team I was a part of was called "script writting team". The name directly implies the work I had done. We would get a new idea for the video and our task was to find factual information, which in turn would become a coherent video text. Besides our team, there are montage team, advertisement team, project team and many more.
The experience I got from this year was unbelievable since not only I had a chance to investigate quite a few topics but also I am quite lucky that I got quite a few opurtunities to get valuable experience in other areas also since people in our organization organizes quite a few activities. During the year there were countless game nights, movie nights, presentations about various themes, trips, excursions and many more activites. Also, we make quite a lot of interviews for the videos. Hence, there were many chances to meet and talk with many great scientists, professors and profesionals.
As I am thinking about my personal experience in this journey, I realized that it was quite unusual and strange for me to work in such a project. I was paranoid that the work I do is worthless and it was really hard to find information and write scripts. Yet, the people in my team helped me a lot to progress and I am glad to say that I grew a lot during the year. Not only I gained skills for producing videos, I had developed in other ways also. I learned to communicate much better with the team. Also, I definetly developed new skills from various experiences. Moreover, I had to develop a great sense of responsibility, since If I would not done the work I supposed to do, other people would have to do much more work themselves. There were countless times that I wanted to stop and rest since the process was too hard, yet I never stopped since I always thought about other people. I am proud of myself but also thankful to this great organzation that provided the resources for my own development.
