Second Day in Struga.
Sunny
morning. Strangers all around. The beginning - let's get to know each other! Starting
with the names games. These activities helped to know all participants from
eight countries: Lithuania, Russia, Estonia,
Romania, Macedonia, Ukraine,
Serbia, Bulgaria. After that organizers
introduced the main rules of the project. The hardest one was to be on time (in
Macedonian time). Other rules were not to sit next to the person form your own
country, forget the word "tired", to keep the smile with You and
respect others.
The
day started with "Struga" game. International teams got the list of
10 places in Struga city. Great thing about this game was that it introduced us
to the city in Macedonia
next to Ohrid lake. We discovered two
sides of Struga. First one was nice city center, lots of coffers, cheap ice
cream, fabulous green river, helpful people and beautiful nature. Another side
of the city was a bit of trash in smaller streets and lots of homeless dogs.
While
we were playing this game one group met musician of the city who was speaking
perfect in English and offered his help to show all the town, to find the
places that we were looking for and told lots of interesting stories not about
Struga, famous poets but also about all Macedonia and its incredible Ohrid
lake. Others group had tasks that were far away from each other so they were
walking along the Ohrid lake searching for the church or beach. Besides the
fact that they had a long way to get there, everybody was satisfied with the
results of the tasks and the destinations that they reached. At the end of the
game we printed nice pictures from our visited places and posted them. It was
so interesting to check photos from other groups, in this way we had a
possibility to know Struga better.
It
only remains to add that "Struga" game helped us to work in a team,
to make decisions together that we all agreed on and we learnt to cooperate in
order to achieve the goal of the game. Also during this game we knew about each
other and the countries that we came from.
Evening
caught our attention. The first intercultural night was for hosts Macedonia and
crazy Lithuanian team. Conclusion for the evening: nobody was thirsty and
hungry, Macedonia
creatively presented their "library",
Lithuanians showed creative movie that they made. Everybody went to
sleep with huge smiles and good mood!
