Day 1 of the "Find Your Way" Erasmus+ Youth Exchange
This is what the participants wrote about this day:
"After a morning run for some of us, we started the day with breakfast and a walk around the neighbourhood, where we had the opportunity to discuss some questions. Even though it was already hot, we managed to explore the city to some extent, learn about ourselves and our peers.
Then we came back to the venue and played some games to learn each other’s names. These original and interesting games were useful. After a short coffee break, we discussed and had the time to reflect on our goals, contributions and challenges of the project through post-it notes. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming so that all the participants could share their ideas and thoughts. Before lunch, we were also informed about how the daily schedule looks like.
In the afternoon, we started by signing the project contract and discussing the ground agreements, such as the ‘bora-bora’ or ‘marco-polo’ techniques. Then we were separated into 5 groups and the egg-challenge began…
In this challenge, we were asked to make a nest to protect an egg cooperatively. It was a good way to learn about each other and to improve our teamwork skills. Throwing the nests from some high would be the final part of the challenge where everyone was crowned winners.
The final tasks involved ‘mission impossible’ and reflecting on the whole day. Regarding ‘mission impossible’, we conquered the world record for finishing 31 tasks in only 45 minutes (at least we think so 
). All the participants had to be actively participating in completing the challenge if we wanted to be successful. Some of the challenges included a rap battle or learning three Hungarian basic expressions.
The day finished by making our family groups and reflecting on the process we went through during the day. In the evening, we had some free time where we played volleyball, went swimming and bonded at a deeper level."
