Fifth day of our project

6th March

As usually the facilitators had prepared a good energizer even for this morning. When we  entered the working room we found them waiting for us and with the projector on. After everyone came in the working room the started to explain what we had to do. They asked us to make three straight lines facing the video projector and to choose one of the characters who was going to be seen in the video and we had to fallow their dance moves without getting disturbed by the moves of the other characters. The name of the video was "Dança quadrado" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktgsn_G59os) and there were three characters really funny ones. Their dance was so funny and active, we were jumping and shaking a lot, in one moment one of the characters stops dancing and starts to bother the other dancers. We started to do the same and this was the most funny part. 

After feeling happy and energized the facilitator divided us in 5 groups and our task was to make a list of the thing we could make with recycled plastic. The facilitator asked us to bring at least 4 different objects that we could make with a recycled plastic and the list of what we would need to make this objects. The facilitator asked us to keep in mind always the model of using less new as possible. Before going to lunch we presented the ideas to the other groups and we had again a small discussion how to make this ideas better. 

Even during the lunch you could see the participants still talking and improving the ideas about the recycled objects. For the after lunch session the facilitators organized 4 cleaning actions and we collected plastic materials around the hotel and in the city. The facilitators provided us hand gloves, face masks and black plastic bags while we were having the cleaning actions. The thing that surprised most of us was that a lot of local people joined our cleaning action and they started to help us, when we told them our action they were so excited that people from different nationalities came in their city and they were cleaning instead of them doing it. They congratulated us for our initiative and they were hoping that even the youngsters of Moldova would be so nice and active as we were. After we finished we went back in the hotel and we started to see and to clean the plastic materials that we collected in our cleaning actions.

Fort the last session, in our previous groups, we started to work on the objects that we had planed to create meanwhile the facilitators were bringing us the missing materials that we needed to create our objects. We worked until dinner time and after dinner, we as a group agreed that we could keep working in our project since we had free night and we had a lot of energy and none of us was tired. We worked for a long time but none of us was going even why the time was going really fast and it was being a little bit late. We were so surprised when we saw that the facilitators joined us. This motivated us even more to achieve our main goal in the best way it was possible. 

Participants started to leave one by one and we all decided to stop the work since it was late at night and to start again tomorrow with new energies and more motivation.
