The Youth Exchange has happened…

It was simply wonderful!

After months of preparation, finally the Youth Exchange in Portugal arrived and it was a smash!

All the teams were ready, filed with expectations and doubts about how it would be.

Some starting stress, was vanished after the Ice breaking and get to know games led by several teams.

The group was all set and ready to go!
- To the neighbourhoods , where the locals were very proud to welcome us, and made everything to makes feel at home, with lots of good food (at least for the Portuguese :-) )!
- To sport activities (canoeing, capoeira, beach games, walking miles);
- To debates and other reflection moments;
- To intercultural evenings and other activities prepared by the teams;

After moving all day, preparing, presenting and participating in activities, it was natural that all of us felt tired and need to rest so… we continued on partying or exchanging in the beach bars, in the beach, in Século, on the rooms...

… Exchanging EVERYWHERE!

With dancing, music, games, songs or just with ourselves and a rabbit sometimes!

Since the beginning the group spirit was very high and willing to take over any proposed activity, even when some obstacles appeared:
The early starts…
The rain in outdoor activities…
The tiredness of everyday moving…
The language barriers…
Home sickness…

The joy, commitment and cooperation of everyone at all time gave life to the theme of this Exchange “Youth Participation”.

These special group and dynamic made this experience rich in emotions, achievements, cultural exchanges and learning…UNFORGETABLE!

Everyone was moved by the spirit of this group, partners, locals, Século staff and the visits, that had difficulties on going way!

Congratulations!

Keep this spirit, comment on this blog, give your ideas to grupomais@sapo.pt

Hey everybody too tired to write?

I slept over 14 hours on saturday and re-emerged with my eyes and brain full of dreams of blue oceans and beautiful memories of the exchange.
I miss each one of you a lot, it has been so hard to go back to "normal" life again, I am still struggling...
When we left we forgot to take all the contact list and the pictures... so now I hope that you'll leave your contacts (MSN, Skype, email, as you please) on the blog comments or that Vera will read this desperate announce and mail everyone with it! :-P
For the moment I will leave you mines.
I wanted to post one of my few picture, but I don't have any with me at the moment, I promise I'll add one later.
One more thing: Stefanos asked us to define with a word all the exchange. A part from the fact that it's impossible, I thought about it all the one hour train ride from Bologna to Firenze and in the end... it came up to me: INITIATIVE. I thought about this one surely not because it is the best one (it's madness wanting to stick every single moment of the awesome experience we shared in one single word) but because it's a word that looks forward.
I would really like to take more initiative in my life, in my local community, in my association, in Europe... basicly in everything I do. This exchange has thaught me this: it's not worth to wait in the second line: we must step right in front and take action!!
I hope you all are happy and I would like to embrace you in the biggest hug ever on earth
Take care,
lots of love,
Letizia
