The first day of the project..

We started to learn about each other's names. We moved into the getting to know each other more with non formal methods. The day continued with islands of learning with certain questions and participant shared their interesting stories. The 2nd part of the day continued with name games ( thanks to the North Macedonian team). At last, the participation's were divided into the international teams and made a team building activity.

Today was the first day, with (almost) all participants. A day for meeting each other, playing with our names, making some mistakes and knowing the backgrounds of the project. We started the day saying each other's names and with an energizer to remember them. Afterwards, we joined in groups to speak about different topics about ourselves: our favorite foods, our best present, whether or not this was our first Youth Exchange, our biggest success, telling a joke, how did we come here... During the lunch break, we could go to the beach, eat ice cream, go to the pool and slide down the water slide. In the afternoon, we returned to the names, having a competition between 2 teams. Each of them was separated by a curtain. One member of each team went close to the curtain, behind it, and when the curtain was removed, they had to say each other's names. The winner was the one that said it faster. To end the day, we divided into teams to complete the impossible mission. We had a list of tasks to do in teams in 1 hour. We had to create an anthem for the project, take a selfie, write a message in the sand, speak with locals, figure out what we can buy with 1 Turkish lira, decode a message, find out expressions in Turkish Almost all teams completed the mission and presented it to the rest of the group. At night, we went almost all together to Kemer to dance in a club and have fun.
