The fourth day of activities has started also in free air through streetball : a new discovered game, but extremely promoted in Lithuania and in a continuously expansion in the other states and has represented the youth chance from the target group to reinvent once again the team spirit and the fair play. 

The activity that was developed in the Ramnicu Sarat Municipal Park has started with a free air presentation by the Lithuania’s group leader, followed by the announcement of the game’s rules and the presentation of the game. In this way, the participants, divided in mixed groups, have worked together, gained some real abilities and competences during the streetball.

At this activity, various citizens assisted because they were walking through that area, children and young people who admired our initiative, understanding the value and the quality of our youth exchange. At the same time, during the streetball workshop, the ones who were responsible with Press Office took interviews, photos and recorded the entire activity to reveal it in a good way.

The treasure hunt activity, within this day has created a great mobility through the participants. The decisions to remain in national groups was fully revealed and the Romanian group was the host of the active provocation of knowing and recognition of our city, Ramnicu Sarat. Although each country participated to this activity, the Turkish group has won the prize of the fastest group with completed tasks. After them, Lithuania arrived and finally, Latvia. Everyone, though, has appreciated the chance to discover a little bit of the town beauties and to socialize with the young people and the rest of the citizens in order to complete the given tasks.

The benefits of the activities, along with other experiences that were analyzed within the evaluation activity “Youthpass reflection”, where the participants discovered the evaluation method for competences, regarding the European standard and how this competences are influencing their perspectives.

We reminded the fact that each young person, because of the involvement in this project will receive a Youthpass Certification, as a method to prove the acquired competences and we also had a discussion about the revaluation of the opportunities produced during the project.

The activity was followed by sharing the cultural and traditional elements from Lithuania and Latvia. In this way, the participants showed us video presentations, games to find out about each country, unknown aspects about each state, along with traditional meals, drinks and especially the dances and music that involved each participant from the target group.

Participants’ impressions :” We started the day full of enthusiasm. We waited anxiously the streetball, because it was actually our task.
