It was one of the best times of my life

It was one of the best times of my life. 

I gained a lot of experience and I'm glad that I didn't keep my feelings inside. 

It was amazing to know you guys! 

I love you all, best wishes and kisses.

I know we'll meet again, maybe in this life or the next one... thank you for everything!

Final Evaluation

The final evaluation was done in the large group, on the beach.

We reminded ourselves what we did every day of the project, we reminded ourselves about the Youthpass certificate and about the 8 competencies.

After we made a foray through the 8 key competences and through all the mobility activities: They were prepared: a backpack accompanied by the text "I take this home" and a trash can accompanied by the text "I leave this here". The participants thought about these aspects and in turn took a seat in front of the 2 objects and said what they were taking with them and what they were leaving behind.

Impressions: This project helped us learn about cooperation,team working, how to do origami and other cultures. We met a lot of new people, including origami teachers who showed us how to do origami with a presentation. We made a lot of energisers, as well as activities inside and outside. Finally, we went to Costanza and Costinesti and we really enjoyed these trips. We learned about Youthpass which is the recognition instrument developed for the projects realised in the European youth programmes, recognised as a period of non-formal learning.

Impressions: Hello everyone, today we had our last activity togheter, we revealed ourselves to our secret friend while being blindfolded and we have done the 2 bags exercise. It consits in reveal what we take with us home, like emotion, memories and what we throw away.

Also we did some fun experiences like the game were we have to pass a scotch to everyone else using the nose, very fun.

And then my favorite, we connected with someone of the group whit two sticks holded with two fingers moving and cooperate with the partner to not let fall the sticks.

Follow-up & Dissemination Plans

In the first 2 sessions of this day, grouped by country, the participants established the dissemination plan they will follow when they get back home.

Later, after the completion of the dissemination plan, it was presented in plenary, in front of all participants.

Each country will have to hold at least one post-mobility dissemination event in which to present what was discussed within the project, to describe how the exchange of young people changed their perception of other cultures, or not, and to promote the ERAMUS + program.

Impressions: The day started with a cool energizer to boost us through the last day of the program. We made a circle and two people had to be in the middle of it taking a pose, one after the other, like an invisible camera was infront of them. After moving weirdly and laughing a lot, we heard the last remaining secret songs. With just 5 people left to hear their song, it was still difficult for us to guess who.

We finished the session by making national groups and discuss ideas about making future dissemination of our experience in the project after we get back home.

Lips Sing Battle

This night we celebrated a karaoke party. 

We sang songs from different countries (in fact, the first song was bulgarian) and different musical genres (we had rap, rock, pop music...). 

We even danced! At the end, we watched videos about Nepal and we fell in love with the country  

We had some much fun!

CULTURE FAIR (BG)

We presented our Origami , like the crown  , the Bulgarian rose and the pure heart .

We interfered with our guest by teaching them doing our most emblematic symbols, they were different ages but the interest in origami kept their attention to the very. 

We had great fun together and we didn’t know even when the time went by.

CULTURE FAIR (ES)

After all the preparation, the final cultural fair arrived! 

We presented all our little origamis in a table (such as windmills, bulls, a crown, etc). 

As for the origami we showed to the guests, we decided to choose the bull and the fan: quite emblematic and easy symbols 

We were really proud with the results as it worked as a connection between the local community and the international environment of this project. 

All the work was worth it!

CULTURE FAIR (GR)

The final activity that concluded the origami experience was an exhibition of origamies and origami making. 

Many prople that read the posters and got our flyers on their hands, answered the invitation and spended two hours on our event, visiting the Greek work table and making boats of paper. 

They made them really firm but eventually they sink in the water nonetheless. What kept floating was the cheerful atmosphere, the laughing and the origamies hanging in the yard.

CULTURE FAIR (IT)

The cultural fair ITALY: we prepared the materials needed for origami making. 

We chose to teach how to make ice cream. We are so happy because many people from the local community came to our table learning the technique.

We really enjoyed this experience because it was a possibility to interact with other people from this city and we learnt so much from them, as well.

CULTURE FAIR (TR)

As the Turkish team, we felt very emotional and had a lot of fun.

We really enjoyed teaching children how to do origami from other nationalities.

We think we did teamwork very well.

Other teams did very well as well.

We think it was a very good workshop and we are very proud

CULTURE FAIR (RO)

Cultural Fair~Romanian Team~

It was amazing to work in national teams in order to create symbols specific to our country. 

The best part wasn’t only preparing the materials but also sharing them with a lot of people, ‘cause as you know “sharing is caring”. 

So we started by figuring out how can we represent our country through origami. We folded the paper in different ways and because the Halloween Feast was coming, we decided also to make something specific to it. In the end we got Dracula, witches, bats, waterlilies and other more, but we focused most on the vampire’s teeth. 

Then we invited people from Costinesti and also from other countries to join our Cultural Fair. 

We felt so glad to teach children, young people and adults how to create our most famous origami.

CULTURE FAIR

In the "For you Terrace" we organized an interactive presentation of the work done during our project. 

We set up 6 tables, one for each country, where members of the national groups showed the people of Costinesti how to make origami.

Afterwards, each group showed the origami tutorial video symbolizing their nation to the guests (such as the ice cream from the members of the Italian group or the crown from the members of Bulgaria etc..) and then, together with them, we recreated them. 

It was a really constructive afternoon because we had the chance to show people some of the things we learned in this project and we had the opportunity to get to know the people of Costinesti and be known by them. 

The most beautiful thing was the fact that despite language differences, through this kind of activity we were able to make a connection.
