Day 8 - Workshops in Valga

Day 8 was one fun and important day in our project. We got to visit another Estonian town while practicing the skills we gained in the training so far, through facilitating the workshops we prepared with our groups for the students from Valga high school.

Coming back to the base, where we talked about our experiences in the classrooms and our learnings, we finished our working day with a wonderful magic show performed by our fantasic colleague Francisco.

Day 4 - Sharing is caring

We are on our way

 Day 4

 Fourth day started with rain and then started snowing.

 But it didn’t changed our mood, conversely some of us were

 happy to see snow in Estonia.

Our topic continued and we had fun with our morning cafeteria.

    After our morning session we watched movie. Someone felt sadness,

for someone it was okay. For conclusion, this movie was connected

with topic and it is good that our trainers had shown it for us.

Finally, it’s SAUNA TIME!

We were talking and having fun.

Best way to relax after hard day :)
