Fourth day of our project

5th March

For morning energizer the facilitators asked us to take a sit and make a circle and to add one more free chair. Than he stood in the middle of the chair explaining the game to us. The point of the game was that the person standing in middle had to take a sit in the free chair but the persons that were siting had to move from the left to the right and not allowing him or her to sit down. In the beginning it seems impossible but when we started to play we saw that it was easier and funnier that most of us thought. We played this game for a while and the other facilitator went to prepare for the other game. When facilitator decide to end this game it was the other facilitator to explain the next game to us. He asked us if we had memorized all the names of the participants because the next game was a name game, just to see if we had learned all the names. He divided us in two big groups and faced us, sitting on the ground, and placed in the middle of us one big blanket so we couldn't see the participants from the other side. Then in total silence he was calling one participant from each side of the blanket to come near and to sit alone facing the blanket. On his mark he was putting the blanket down and the participants had to guess the each other name as fast as they could. When they saw that mostly of participants knew their names they decided to make it funny they started to call two from one side and one from the other, sometimes even three on one or three against two, and this idea brought a lot of smiles and laughs in our group. In the end they were so surprised how the participants knew a lot of names and their fear about getting to know each other and socializing with each other was gone. They told us that now it wasn't necessary anymore to make name games and this was the last one.

Now it was time to get back in our main topic of the project. We arranged the room like a small theater facing the projector, because the facilitators were going to show a video of "The story of the plastic bottle". In this video presentation we saw how the plastic is created and it is ending after it usage and why people choose to use the plastic in their life. The following videos were about alternative ways how plastic can be used and recycled after it usage. Mostly of the videos were focused in the art method of recycling. We saw a lot of creative and useful ways of recycling of the plastic.

For the afternoon sessions the facilitators divide us in groups and we had to make a theater show about the topic the future of our planet and is it really possible Green Life. This way of working was really creative and we saw the creativity of the participants of the project. The ideas about the theater were amazing,really funny and different. In the end we had to make our small performance in front of everyone. We noticed that participants had a lot of potential and ideas about the recycling of the plastic.

For the last sessions we were divided again in different groups and we had now to work more in our topic. We had to write in papers ideas of recycling plastic, what we can recycle and how we can make it better the recycling circle. All of this ideas were presented to the other participants and we had a discussion about this ideas how we can improve and develop some of them.

For tonight again we had Intercultural night, unfortunately the last one but not less important. For tonight it was the turn of Turkey, Romania and Italian participants to surprise us with their food, traditional dances and songs and their national drinks.
