Report of 6. september:
The morning started with Estonians teaching us an Estonian folk dance Kaera Jaan as an enegrizer. After that we had a meeting where we discussed the schedule for the day and then we had time to finish our tasks- videos and posters. After lunch we presented the posters, flyers and watched they videos. After that we had reflection time. Some of went down to the village to shop and hang out and others spent the time at the pool or just relaxing in the pension. Instead of having an ordinary evening we had a traditional Romanian afternoon which started with tasting traditional Romanian drink tuica. We made a bonfire and had barbaque. Also we dance Romanian folk dances.

Every day is a different story. Every day when we woke up we have the opportunity to enjoy the perfect view of the mountains and to breath a fresh air, away from the polluted cities. We had a breakfast in the morning , we enjoied the conversations for our impression from the previous days with a cup of coffee or a tea. After that we had energizer . The Italian group cheered up us with explanations of the italian body language which was interesting and useful for all of us.
We split in two groups for the video and the printing and we shared the tasks. We supposed to make 3 videos which will represent Water is life , energy and future; brochure for our experience here and flyers which we will spread in the city of Buzau to raise thе concience of the people. During the day we were all very creative about the concept of the videos, we were collecting the photos from the previous days , we had so many different ideas but somehow we balanced them and we nobodies idea was left . No matter that we had tasks and we were in groups , we all helped each other and we were cooperating between each other. We are all here because we share the same opinion. Group of 45 young people from 8 different agrees that we should save this world for the next generations. We concluded that its up to US as a Humanity in which kind of world will we raise our kids. We had a coffee break as usual, we continued working on our ideas. After that we charged our batteries with the home made cooked meal and continued with our workshops.
The rest of the day was perfect as well. It was international cultural evening. We had presentations for the culture of Macedonia, Cyprus, Slovakia, Italy and Latvia. The Latvian group promoted Macedonia, the Italian group promoted Cyprus, Slovakia was promoted from the Romanian group and Latvia from the Turkish group. Every presentation was creative. Different cultures were presented through songs, traditional dances, quiz, photos, even a role play performance.

*Report By Team Italy for Sunday 3rd September 2017*
--> Reference Persons: Bea, Clara, Irene, Marina, Rana.....................................................................................
After usual breakfast, everyone of the participants was excited to start off for the study tour organised under this youth exchange project. Most of the participants were looking curious because someone were going to see the Water dam first time in their lives while for the other ones, the visit to volcanoes was going to be a unique experience in its own way.
So approximately 2 hours journey was started in bus, passing by the country side, fairy meadows, green areas, we arrived into the Muddy Volcano. The safety instructions were explained and everyone of the participants paid attention and satisfied all the formal protocols for making sure the safety during our visit. The visit to Muddy Volcano was great as it implied to many of us about the natural resources beneath ground. Than after quick refreshments, we travelled for an educational visit to Siriu Dam.
There we were explained about the history of the local area, why the Dam was built in 1970's, technical details of Dam, its output, efficiency etc. This experience was also amazing because most of us were exposed to heavy machines in real life for the first time. It also explained the importance of water that how delicately it has to be managed which otherwise could turn the situation catastrophic. Both these visits were part of great learning process, putting an importance to the efficient usage of natural resources specially water.
This learning process was made more beautiful by lunch followed by some stops visiting nearby areas for viewing Panoramic sceneries, artificial lake near the Dam. On the way back, we stopped also at Nehoiu town for a short visit.
Visit to Dam also coincides with the motive of the project "Water is life, water is energy, water is future". On the return, we had group meetings to have an overall discussion of the day, satisfaction level to the visit, followed by a dinner and some socializing indoor activities.
In short, despite of hectic travelling, the overall response from participants was a positive attitude throughout the day indicating their will to learn in any circumstances.
