"The first day has arrived!
We have breakfast at 9:30, the floor is really crowded and the toilet is always busy but at the end the breakfast the whole chaos of the very first morning pays off. Juice, corn flakes, cheese and tomato...
Reunited in a big room of the hosting building, we have started activities with a funny energizer.
We do a cyrcle and now is time to break the ice with our team mates and to get to know each other through funny games. Although the beginning was terrible, we soon started to remember the others names.
At the 1:00 PM we have a Lunch. We walked just a few minutes to reach the Cotta Restaurant, a cute Estonian place where to eat, with wooden table and sack attached on the roof.
After lunch, the afternoon begins with a game of team building, devided in two groups. Renate, hosting organization mentor, gave us a goal to reach. It sounded easy, but in reality it was not. At first our strategy to reach the goal was wrong, the difficulty during the game was that we could not talk each other and before the game started we weren´t organized well in the communication. Each group was divided in smaller groups, many people were talking and not listening plus we didn´t realize immediatelly the difficulty of the game and the importance of the strategy.
The evening went on with the Intercultural evening, devided in national groups, each one explained the stereotypes the others had about the countries and cultures. We also showed the others videos of our countries and cities. Then we ate typical food of each others countries that the participants brought from their countries."
