Day 3

The third day started with a big teambuilding game. We cooperated with each other and coped with all the tasks. We shouted a video with local people saying “Yes, we camp”. We studied to count from 1 to 10 in three languages: German, Italian and Russian. We also created costumes from natural materials and made a team photo with the emblem of EWOCA. The finniest moment was when we were to brush each other teethDSC_0416 standing in a circle.

Still, it is only the beginning. During the second part of the day we had peer-to-peer tours in the Minsk. Different tours for people with different interests – that’s the key to success. Look how it was!

Day 2

The second day started with a very unusual task. Although it is summer, we played the Snowballs. Don’t worry, the snow hasn’t fallen – it was a kind of getting to know each other game.

After breakfast, the official opening ceremony was held. A bit later a teambuilding activity was held. We were divided into three teams and got different tasks, which helped us not only to know each other better, but also to get acquainted with the territory, where we live.

In the evening Belarusian team presented 5 peer-to-peer tours around Minsk, in which we allowed to take part tomorrow. After that we had one more teambuilding activity – a game called “Where is the chicken”. Tidy, but happy we enjoyed our free time before we got sleep. Expecting a new cool day coming!

Day 1

Our first day started a little bit late (almost at night) because of the late arrival. Still, the meeting was organised in the best Belarusian traditions – folk dances, brad-and-salt ritual.

Although Zelenoe – is a wonderful place, it’s a good idea to discover it in the morning =-) After a dinner we felt asleep, expecting tomorrow morning coming.

IMG-20160801-WA0169Julia (Benches and tables group):
During summer camp we had workshop on the topic of sustainable development, so we were really inspired to do something socially useful and at the same time eco-friendly. That’s why we decided to build benches and tables from recycled materials. These materials we had found on the territory of the school where we lived. Finally we had made 5 benches and 2 tables. Now they stay in their school garden and take part ibenchn installation that another group made.
