SSMD - Day 1!

The day of 23^rd July has been addressed to the arrivals, on the first hand, and establishing the first contacts of communication between the participants. Since the arrival at the accommodation place, we settled the division in rooms, counting on the participants’ wish to remain in mixed groups, like we established since the stage of APV.

The evening of the first day was one of the beginning of the socialization, so the youths could provide the full opportunity to get to know each other and to make first contacts.

The organizers of the project granted a special attention to present the zone, to talk into the rules set that the accommodation will impose and the opportunities that the young participants will have during the program.

Participants’ impressions : “ Since the first meeting the comfort was the term that had defined the relationships within the target group. Smiling, eager to meet new people and to find out about new things, the participants developed some very interesting subjects. Starting from the usual questions “How was the trip?”, “Have you travelled ok?” or from expressions like “Hello, my name is…..Nice to meet you”, the respect within the group conducted the intercultural relation from the first day. The knowing each other moments and knowing of the area created nice feelings of a good adaptation to new spaces and people, waiting for the activities that were announced to be an unexpected dynamism !”
