Involve! Include! Improve!
After December's first meeting of Involve! Include! Improve! project, we made some decisions on what was going to be the next year action plan on each country. As a start, in January we went to a local school, in Câmara de Lobos, to speak about the Erasmus+ opportunities. We had a very nice meeting with students from different ages and classes. They are part of an extracurricular activity - Euroclub. There, the students usually talk about several european issues, and participate on european contests promoted by European Union. It was the perfect opportunity to introduce them with programme and to talk about our activities and projects. Our EVS volunteers, from project ACTIVO 2.0, were present at that day, so it was a very enriching experience for both sides.
We started by introducing ourselves and speaking about generalities of Erasmus+. Then we focused more on promoting EVS and Youth Exchanges. For that we showed videos from previous participation on YE and TC's and volunteers with the help of a translator, talked about their experience in Madeira island. They were so enthusiastic in hearing the volunteers speaking and teching them some words on their language (Ukrainian and Italian). To finish the session we wanted to show them a little bit of what we experience when we go abroad. How it is to learn in a non-formal environment. Therefore, we did a game that we personally call "Picasso Game". Basically everybody paints each others' faces, but every part of the face is drawn by a different person. The result? A magical and fantastic picture! Everybody enjoyed so much our visit and we eager to do more and more! Comments are closed.
