Day 4
Hello all! As usual this morning (for a part of the group) a workout session was held, with an addition of acro-yoga this time ! 🤸
The participant were asked to meet at 11am in the training room, they only found a flip chart with an assignment and instructions on it. They had until 3pm to create groups, go out of the hotel and have an impact outside of the project. 💥
The afternoon started with a poem reading from the team, followed by a video.
Then a session of open sharing was held.
After the coffee break, Cosmin, a team member, read to the group the text from Carl Sagan “the pale blue dot”.
After that, the tool “Victim-accountable” was presented, followed by sharing in groups.
After the diner, the participants arrived with the instruction “have fun”.

Day 5
The day was a special day, the participant had the opportunity and the freedom to hold their own sessions, workshops, activities without the team (for this matter I don’t have photos/videos).
Some words about the day from the participants:
Today morning we started with a yoga session, useful to relax the muscles, sore from the previous days workouts. Then, we did some energizers and games which involved teamwork, creativity and lots of laughter. Some of them were using theatre and others reflection tools. Three of us took the time to paint, after years not touching the painting utensils. Going with the flow, expressing without the brain, intuitively.
A participant also held a « circle of life » workshop.
After lunch most of the group went for a « presence » walk, organized by one of the s.o.l.e (self organized learning environment) group. There were different phases; at first in pair practicing mindful walking, and then a silent walk to the top of « Aliosha hill ». On their way they discovered more of Plovdiv, the old roman theatre and the center. They also crossed the path of locals doing Bulgarian traditional dances in a Parc and joined them to discover more of the local culture.
After dinner the Team organized an optional « Ice Plunge » session, a challenge or a way to physically reset for some and a formality for our Estonian participants.

Stay tuned for the second half of the project !
