Day #6 12/02/2019
The day before the last day we learned a lot about photography and some new techniques. Even though all of us are familiar with the camera and its possibilities very well. We still didn´t know some rules and methods like the rule of thirds, sumetry, leading lines, dominant eye etc. After getting to know the new techniques we were able to apply them by working in groups and making a photoshoot of an element. We presented our creations and found the wrong and right things by estimating them and judding upon our knowlegde. The second part of the day we were working in the same groups, but this time we had to make a story with maximum of 5 pictures, which after that we presented and it was an amazing experience. This day finished with a movie night. We watched the musical 'The Greatest Showman' which really touched our hearts.
Day #5 11/02/2019
While we were in the middle of this project, we could work in our national teams, we shared a legend that is well known in our country and show it through video or theater performance. Every country was totally included and well prepared for this activity. We could meet other cultures in a different way and learn something new.But in order to continue the working atmosphere and use the communication in foreign language compectence, we made a theater performance of oppressed people (putting ourself into the other´s shoes) and feel the discrimination that we are facing every day in our lives. By voluntary participating in an different action, we could change the oppressed situation into happy and friendly one. Staying friendly to the end of this day, we could meet the countries that were represented by Macedonia, Spain and Turkey. We learnt their traditional dances, the food and drinks and got into the culture of each country differently.
Day #4 10/02/2019
The most relaxing day in our timetable, but at the end of this day we were tired like never before on this project. Do you know why? It was our free day in Barcelona. We were able to organize our time, to go around the city, to explore each part of Barcelona. Even though we thought this will be our best day, at the end of this day we realized that we are so tired to party at night. But at least, we had a chance to be together with the rest of the participants, out of the activity room, without using methods and follow the setteled time. Feeling tired of this journey around the city, we took a rest to be prepared for the following day and more activities that are coming up in this project.
Day #3 09/02/2019
On 9th of February- Saturday, we had had the third day of this Youth Exchange. It started with the topic of stereotypes and enden up with us learning new things and methods about public speech. Firstly we had to a stereotypes that we had heard about for each country and than we were able to discuss about them. When actually we had an opportunity to reject, defend or agree with the stereotypes of our country. After the lunch break we were introduced with the topic of public speech and every element of with. To enrich our techniques we were able to make a 'real' job interview and then estimate our strong and weak sides, or better said where we should get better while making an interview. Thus, were able to share any technique that we know to help each one of us in further communication. We closed the day with an intercultural night, where countries of Bulgaria and Italy presented their cultures, traditions and food.
Day #2 08/02/2019
Day number two started with the theme of social exclusion and social inclusion. And that is how it ended. Whole that day we were focused on this topic, beginning firstly with introducing what does it really mean and our knowledge and experience with it. We actually realized that this topicis very familiar to us and that each one of us has been either a victim or a vitness of a social exclusion/inclusion. We were open to share our experince and also fell the emphaty for these people. The most interesting part of this day was when we were seperated into groups and each group had to express a diffrent type or factor od social exclusion/inclusion with a particular method. After working together we were able to present our work which was shown in a really interesting way and we had a lot of fun. As every other day this day also enden with evaluation where we could have express our feelings and emotions about that day.
Day #1 07/02/2019
The first day of this youth exchange started with brief introduction of the project and objectives, the methods that will be used during it, timetable and results expected. It was also dedicated by gathering and getting to know each other, with interactive games and ice breakers. It was a greatful opening for the participants by sharing their expectations, fears of what is coming up and using this youth exchange as an opportunity for creating friendships that will last forever. Later on, we had a chance to work in teams, explore the city of Barcelona, meet the culture and people living around. As an team building activity, we had a chance to meet each person better, capability of expressing own opinions. At the end of the day, we were devided in different groups in order to evaluate the day by answering questions of what could be better and what we have learned. And to end up this day in a right way, we used the night with passion game.
