Working hard!
These days have being wonderfull! We are having a great time with our partners, we spend a lot of time together, we are getting to know each other and improve our teamwork.
Yesterday, we had a great experience in the school, and it made us think how lucky we are, and what a great job they are doing with these young people.
We are happy with the work we are doing, we are working very hard. Sometimes it's difficult to understand and make the others understand us, but we keep on communicating!
See you tomorrow!!
Besos! :)

The Funny Tuesday
On Tuesday it was really cool. We visited the professional high school of iconomic in Mineralni Bani. We talked with the students and saw how they live, it was interesting for us. Later we made a walk in the local park and saw the church. Unfortunatly it is open only on Sunday. After lunch we started with workshop 4 - " Active citizenship for social inclusion" Open Space Technology. Other volunteers from the bulgarian club joined the workshop. It was really good. In the evening we had Disco party. Everyone was dancing and having fun. The music was great:)

Knowledge & Friendship in Bulgaria
Last night we spent hours talking to the people from the other groups. We can't believe how easy is for all of us to make friends. The Spanish are passionate and know how to have fun. We like the English a lot, they are very sociable and cool:)
Today we made a simulation of the European Parliament. It was amazing because it made us think about important things connected to the young people and how the European Parliament can improve our social well-being. We met the local authorities of Mineralni Bani who talked about the social activities of the youngsters in the area. Well, not everything was work and no play. We had a really fun walk in the rain which made us feel fresh. In the afternoon we presented the projects we made during our simulation and decided to send them to the responsible persons.
Now our stomachs are grumbling so we are going to have dinner and then play international games.
Let's see what will come tomorrow.

COOL BEANS!
On Sunday 17th October we did many workshops during the day about social exclusion, participated in team building games - very fun :L - and enjoyed a great welcome party! before entering the party we were given notes (a secret mission to complete for the night) many people completed theirs and we will find out how they did on monday night. We enjoyed the welcome party very much and would like more!
On Monday 18th October we took part in more workshops and the subject was "The voice of young people in the European Union." the tasks were difficult but we managed to complete it. Communication with young people from other countries had its barriers as some people did not understand and needed it translated. We enjoyed our lunch and took a walk to meet the local authorities in mineralni bani and discussed with them about social acivities of the young people in the area. We deffinitely enjoyed our walk back to the hotel in the rain - very wet. - Back at the hotel we presented the work we completed before lunch and we will be forwarding our work to the members of the European commission to enform them of the work we have done and for ideas to be heard. Later we will have dinner and take part in international games. COOL BEANS!
