We woke up at 9 o'clock as usual and had a delicious breakfast. The training began at 10 o'clock with a funny energizer. Participants were fish and the trainers were piranhas who want to catch and eat the fish. Fish had the option of getting to an island so that piranhas could not catch them. Every time one or more fish were eaten, once island is destroyed by piranhas to get advantage.
After that lovely energiser training session began with the personal artifact. Every participant brought a personal object which is important for him/her or tells about his/her identity. In small groups, participants discussed about their personal artifacts which are clues about their identity. Then, we had a half an hour coffee break.
After the coffee break, my identity 1 began. Trainers explained us what to do and trainees built their own molecules of identity. They wrote five charesteristics of them that tells about their identity. Then, we are seperated into small groups and asked to discuss about our identities. That session was very beneficial because everybody in the small groups had a chance to get to know each other better.
After the lunch, in the discussion participants told they felt very comfortable why they are talking about themselves and it was also good to know another person's thoughts and identities. We found out despite the fact that we are coming from all different countries and cultures we have many things in common.
Then we had a coffee break again at 5 o'clock to half past 5. After that we discussed about what did we learn from the day's workshops and how did we feel during the explaining our identities. Everybody agreed that going deeper into the topic made everyone closer. And all of us tried to express ourselves clearly. We learned to have tolerance towards others who have different identities and choices than us.
In the learning buddies and feedback group discussions we summarize things we learned together. That reinforces our learned things. Then we had dinner and after was the Estonian night. Estonians presented their countries and that provided us with more information about Estonia. And with Alias game we learned some Estonian words.
