Daily Schedule: 8th Day

Last evening the Greek evening took place. It was completely different from all evenings. It started on the terrace, from where the Greek team greeted us at the entrance as guests in their home. Then they presented us the Greek poem Itaka and for a while we also could be actors.
Then we were all invited to a table where Greek traditional meals were served, and the best was a Greek salad. The atmosphere of the whole evening was very family-friendly.
Each of the national teams had a moment to present their version of the dance to the national Greek music.

The day began with games invented by the Turkish group - "and stop" and "pacmak yakalama".

Today, we were preparing an origami exhibition for the city's residents. This task in national groups has made us develop our creativity. We choosed a place and started preparing our own corner in order to exhibit the origami handicrafts. For example, the Italians created a Venice background for the origami representing the gondolas, the Spanish created a flamenco dress from paper and the visitors took photos wearing it. The participants from Poland created a scale model of a city and the Romanians did a castle paper folding. The Greek team did an imitation of an ocean and the Turkish a nest.

A lot of people appeared at the exhibition (check it here!), including children from school. All teams showed the participants of the exhibition how to make origami and we had fun together.

This was not an ordinary exhibition, because in this way we also showed our countries, culture and promoted the ERASMUS + program.

Daily Schedule: 7th Day

Last night we celebrated the Italian night. For the moment it has been one of the best nights. The activities proposed by our Italian friends were different and really fun.
The night began with the appearance of the "mamma" (Italian mother) who introduced us to Italy asking us questions and representing the strong character of Italian mothers.

After, we saw a beautiful video about Italy and its culture, we made a game where we had to answer questions about its culture, history and traditions.









We had a lot of fun with "The tuca, tuca dance" and the Italian gestures.
We all expected the time of the meal: it was fabulous. We were able to taste "limoncello", "parmigiano", "salsiccia", "bruschette", "taralli", "canestrelli" among other things. The food disappeared from the table!!!

To end the evening, we danced typical dances from Italy and participated in a karaoke of Italian songs.

Day 7 of our Youth Excahnge!

The day began with some nice posters at the breakfast table that wished us a good day in Italian: "buongiorno". The Italian team took care of the energizers, in total we have done three: "holding hand", "horse riding" and "un, due, tre, stella".

Then it was the turn of the Polish team, who showed us how to make an origami eagle. The eagle is a symbol in their country, that's why they chose to make this figure for their origami. They also showed us how to make a Polonez car origami.

Then we made other two energizers also directed by the Italian team: "banana" and "Atoms and Molecules". In this last energizers we form groups to make the origami of Italy. The Italian team proposed us to make an ice cream. then they proposed us to make a more complicated one: a gondola, but all of us were happy with the work.

To end the afternoon, we continued with the preparation activities of the origami exhibition; some of us went to the city to promote the event, the local population was very friendly and we managed to put on 15 posters. We also distributed flyers. We also have finished editing the tutorial videos of the origami figures of each country. We have everything ready for our exhibition!
