The first
day of the project was targeted mainly on getting to know each other and
preparing our group for getting deeper into the topic in the upcoming days.
Finally, we were complete on our venue and ready to start to work hard.
We started
outside with an energizer facilitated by Sorin. We were jumping in the circle
front and back according to the fruits, that Sorin was saying. Then we
continued in the conference room with an introduction of the trainers and of
the organizational team, as well as the brief introduction of the background of
our project.
We went
through the timing during the project and we learn more about the agenda for
the next two days. Our other task was to think about our fears, contributions,
and expectations. We summarized them on colorful post-its and we sticked them
to the flipchart. At the end of the project, we’ll come back to this flipchart
to see if our expectations were reached, fears broken etc.
Just before
the coffee break, we created our paper “Facebook profiles”, including some
general information about ourselves. Then we could take a look at the profiles
of the others and thus to find some topics in common to talk about during the
upcoming free time.
After the
coffee break, it was necessary to go through some basic rules, both
organizational regarding the venue, but also those ensuring the peaceful and
respectful environment within our group. Another introduced tool was a chart of
tasks (Ubuntu), where all of us signed up for certain responsibilities, such as
for energizers, timekeeping, evening programs, cleaning, reports or taking
photos.
Last
activity of the morning block was rather ice breaking, we divided into six
groups, in which we spent rest of the time until the lunch. Some of us went for
a short walk to the park, some of us stayed inside. Meanwhile, we were talking
about various topics according to the set of questions, e.g. about our top
moment of our volunteer experience, about people we go to for an advice in our
lives, our most embarrassing moment from school, etc.
In the
afternoon, we started with a teambuilding activity, during which we supposed
save ourselves from the catastrophic island by getting over the wall under the
electricity. The whole team had to get over the wall without any single touch
within 30 minutes. We were trying different tactics, but we didn’t manage to
finish the task. Afterwards, we properly debriefed the whole activity.
After the
lunch, Berka started with a name game. The presentation of the Erasmus+ Programme,
YouthPass, and the personal competencies followed. Then we divided into the
reflection groups, which we’ll hold every day before the dinner to evaluate the
whole day.
After the
dinner, teams from Poland, Sweden, Slovakia, and Bulgaria presented their
countries in different ways. They also brought delicious food to taste.
