Staff Profile #25 Zeneta

 It's time to announce our newest addition! This amazing girl called Zeneta Nishori🌟



Zeneta's story is one of the most interesting to us! She started her "Service Civique" as Pedagogical Assistant at PLAY's HQ in France and moved to the PLAY mission in Kosovo after just one month! Originally Zeneta is from Kosovo, born in Ferizaj but her family moved to France before she was even two months old. She grew up in France and studied in Lyon. Just last year she graduated with a degree in foreign languages (no wonder she speaks French, Albanian and English fluently). This girl is passionate about a lot of things, whether it is art, sport, cooking, or cinema. She is always eager to learn new things. 


When asked why she decided to do her "Service Civique" at PLAY International she answered: 

"I have always wanted to work with children or to just be involved in the education system. The fact that PLAY international is an organization that educates people through sport is even more interesting for me, having been lucky enough to be able to do after-school activities, it taught me a lot of things that you don’t necessarily learn in formal education".

After working with the team in Kosovo for more than a month now, we asked what she enjoys the most here and her answer got us blushed; 😚

"Being part of this team in Kosovo is having the chance to be surrounded by very different and engaging persons so we learn a lot from each other’s. There is a very good atmosphere within the team".

She even had the perfect answer about her moving back to Kosovo for 9 months! 

"It’s being able to get to know the country I was born in a little more each day and quest for identity. To be able to smell the good traditional dishes from my mother and grandmother in every corner- It makes me feel at home".


The fact that she has good answers to every question won't exclude her from our beloved FUN FACT! 

Zeneta is a Collector! She enjoys collecting cinema, exhibition or restaurant tickets then attaches them to her dairy and we are looking forward to helping her in this mission! 😋

 

We all love Zeneta here at PLAY!
