A long week

Saying farewell

The hospitality of the Finnish people is awesome. As the this project draws to a close new projects will hopefully begin. 

Thank you to participants for the energy, passion, creativity and innovation you brought to this programme. 

We now say goodbye to the Elves and the magical moments had in Kokkola and wish you good luck for the future. Please keep adding your thoughts and stories of the week, but for now this is the training team signing off - take care - Paul (on behalf of Monentum World)

Durchatmen...

[below is a post from the German team for the 2020finland blog :D]

Unsere Woche in Kokkola und somit in Villa Elba ist fast vorbei.

Endlich können wir nach langen erlebnisreichen Tagen und langen spaßigen Nächten unsere Erlebnisse teilen.

... das schönste hier in Kokkola war, dass wir sehr viele verschiedene Leute aus vielen verschiedenen Ländern kennenlernen konnten.

Wir nehmen mit, dass wir uns überall auf der Welt wie zu Hause fühlen können, weil uns alle unsere neuen Freunde mit offenen Armen aufnehmen würden.

Eine deutsche Zusammenfassung unserer Eindrücke über das Programm folgt bald ;)

Good bye,

adiós, hei hei!

Tschüss :D

Meet Petra Mucic

Tell us a bit about yourself

I'm 23 years old and currently studying in Greece, but in a few weeks I will go back to Zagreb in Croatia, my home town. I am finishing   my degree in Political Science this year and I am thinking of studying Psychology after that. 

Why did you decide to come on this course? 

Because I wanted to learn some new things about 2020 Education and to see how you can learn things through non-formal education. I also wanted to meet new people and support each other with our work in the future. 

What have you enjoyed the most this week?

Designing my own workshop with my team and delivering it afterwards. I also enjoyed talking and hanging out with people from other countries. 

Was there anything that surprised you this week?

Primary school really surprised me because the children were so nice and open and wanted to talk about everything and learn some words in Croatian. We also shared a special greeting with our hands. 

What's the most important thing you have learned and will take home with you. 

I learnt how to make a workshop and use the feedback from facilitators and peers to improve our work. 

What would you tell someone who has never attended an international project.

You can't learn everything by reading about it, sometimes you need to experience and live it. 

Last day - Viimeinen päivä

The last full day has started with dancing and walking in the woods. Top two of yesterdays premade lessons was hold today and we had three child from finland with the group.

Viimeinen kokonainen päivä on alkanut tanssin ja metsessä kävelyn merkein. Eilen valmiiksi tehtyjen ja valittujen tuntien pidossa meillä oli mukana kolme suomalaista lasta. 

Pangea Performance art

As the performance group were successful after yesterdays challenge this morning they have been running their Pangea dance session. Explore the talents of individual groups and tribes, but that we are all part of one world.

The pictures show some of the tribes and the dance performance.
