2nd Day

"The second day begins with discussion about stereotypes. We have already written down the stereotypes that we have towards each other’s countries during the intercultural evening. Most of them sound funny and we all take them with a sense of humor until Renate adds

more offensive and aggressive stereotypes of our countries to the flip charts and asks us how we feel about them.

Some of us feel sad and others angry. It’s interesting to reach a deeper awareness of how stereotypes affect us and how we are perceived by others.

In the afternoon we play a  game that reflects on our values and is similar to Monopoly – the auction of values. It’s an interesting game because it makes you become aware of the values that are important for you and for the other participants. We understood that not all the values are equally important for all of us, but there are some more universal ones that all of us value.

After the theater workshop a dinner at Kompressor (a pancake restaurant in the old town) and visiting of an actual theater play followed. We went to see a performance that was part of a theater festival SAAL Biennaal. It was amazing! It was a strange kind of theater but I like it very much!

After theater we went to Protest and then to bed.

It was another beautiful day in Tallinn and I don ́t want to go home anymore!"
