Project progress:

Day 1
After many hours of traveling, we arrived in Osnabrück, where our guardians picked us up. We went to the project site. It was a small village surrounded by greenery.

Day 2
The next day, after breakfast, we moved on to activities aimed at familiarizing the participants with the project’s objectives, as well as ice-breaking. There were also some interesting energizers. Later, everyone drew something they identified with on a piece of paper, and then we had the opportunity to discuss our drawings with the rest of the participants. After a short break, we proposed rules in groups, which we followed until the end of the exchange.

Day 3
We started the next day with a fun task, which was for the groups to present short theatrical scenes. The theme of the scenes was to be a vision of an ideal world in relation to technology. Next, we talked in a forum about the opportunities that the European Union offers young people in terms of travel, education, and careers. We shared our own experiences and gained new knowledge about specific EU programs. At the end of the day, we had the opportunity to take part in an artistic activity. In small groups, we designed proposals for the project logo. We placed the winning designs on a large canvas, on which each participant could then express their artistic visions in the form of drawings, stickers, etc. That day also featured an intercultural evening, during which North Macedonia and Turkey performed.

Day 4
The fourth day of the exchange began with recording videos on digitization in individual countries. All groups presented the solutions that had been implemented in their countries in relation to technological development. After lunch, it was time for sports competitions. This was followed by an intercultural evening, this time featuring Poland and Hungary.

Day 5
On this day, we went on a trip to the picturesque city of Bremen. We visited local monuments, such as the monument depicting the heroes of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. 6) The next morning, participants could choose what they wanted to do that day. This resulted in a group preparing a dance, a song, and posters on digitization and technology. Then, all groups presented the fruits of their labor to the forum.
