DAY 7 – ESTONIA
The last day of the project „Active vs Passive“ started eralier than usually – already at 8.15 everyone were ready to leave, because it was the trip day. We visited castles and had some free time to discover Brasov on our own. We learned some things about Romanian culture, spent time in Dracula’s castle and discovered Brasov. It was very nice to see and experience Romanians everydaylife outside Busteni, lots of people went shopping to buy souveniers for family and friends back home.
We were proud to spread to tourists and locals in Bran and Brasov our products and encourage people to be active.Everyone that gets a flyer could hear our “BE ACTIVE “ slogan.
Many of us found some time to enjoy local food and coffee in the nice cafes. Since it was already the last day of the project everyone enjoyed time with their friends from other countries and we really didn’t need any organised activities – our group feeling was so great that we really connected with other participants and enjoyed the time we spent together. Heading back to Busteni was little bit sad because we knew that people start leaving and after general feedback for the project we said goodbye and Estonian team left. Other participants headed to Inside for the last time and they had a boring time there without Estonians. Thank you all for that great experience and hope to see you all again someday somewhere!

Marcin coordinated people that made some pictures in the activity room, Antonio filmed the short videos of every participant, Raimonds and Arita shot a video in which the participants from different countries met each other in the youth exchange. We were all very happy to be part of campaign. At 18.30 we gathered in the activity room to see how the things were going.

Then was the big final with 2 teams , 9 judges and the rest of people as audience.It was a good match to argue that commercials for fast foods and alcohol from sports arena and TV transmissions should be banned.Both teamed argued clearly but opposition was best so they win 7 -2 .In the end participants got presents and there was the evaluation of the debate competiton.It was a good way to develop a lot of skills , to make us more active and more self confident.
After a well deserved coffee break we gathered together to start working for campaign.The groups were formed , responsibilities shared and a first brain storming was very good for all of us.Everything was well planned so after dinner we already started to work .
Next day announced hard work so we went earlier to bed.

DAY 3 – ITALY
In the morning we start with outdoor activities doing some energizers, trust games and team building games ,the balloons one being very tricky but with lots of things to learn.Then we made a workshop about active and passive life style.We were splited in eight groups and had to invent either an active or a passive character.Firstly we had to create the profile of the character and secondly we had to present our character.
For presentation were three different possibilities : role play,poem or song.It was very funny to present our characters and we enjoy all the groups creativity.
We hed then a simply “yes or not “ debate to warm up for the competition.There were 6 motions and we decided which one to support and argued on it.In the end it will be clearly understood it helped us a lot for competition.
After lunch time there was an introduction of “ world school debate “ method.Bogdan introduced it ,explained the rules and the concept, the role and outcomes expected and then there was a meeting with the judges and in parallel one with the competitors.

DAY 1 – POLAND
It was officially the first day of activities so the game is on.Some of us already knew eachother after the ice breaking games last night but now we have more time and opportunity to meet all participants.
We started with a very nice energizer “ Hey Joe “ which was followed by other funny games creating our caricatures and playing true or false statements.Thanks to them we learned our names,hobbies,occupations and small secrets.
We decided to play “ Secret Friend “ game and try to keep our secret friend happy till the end of the week.After coffee break we established the house rules and also in groups decided our hopes and fears ( will we meet Dracula ? will the URSI eat us ? ).
After lunch there was the Youth in action , youthpass and Erasmus + session and we learned about cultural diversity and other priorities tearing off pieces of papers and doing other exercises.A fashion show with “ponchs” of our organizations ‘ objectives,target groups and activities completed the understanding of who we are and our role and place in this project.
Even it was a free evening we were VERY ACTIVE and continued socializing playing games , listening to Spanish music and then some of us went to a local pub to discover surroundings and have a party with Romanians and with youngsters from another youth exchange that was in Busteni.It was GREAT SUCCESS !!
