Project progress:

11.10 We started the first day with games and icebreakers aimed at getting to know the other project participants. We were introduced to the theme and purpose of the trip and set our tasks for the week. We spent most of our free time at the beach and the pool.

12.10 We spent the second morning on the beach, integrating with others again (fun fact: our Gina won one of the competitions!). After lunch, we were presented with the course and results of the Rethink 1.0 project, and then we started working on our campaigns in international groups. In the evening, the Italians and Lithuanians presented their countries to us, we had the opportunity to try their national delicacies and learn a few facts about the countries of our new friends. After all that, we had a great time at a beach party, where we danced to our Polish “Bałkanica.”

13.10 We spent the third day working on several projects. We took part in World Cafe, which involved comparing different projects and ways of dealing with the environmental problems we face in our countries. In the evening, we presented our country to other nationalities through typical Polish delicacies, presented information in the form of a Kahoot quiz, and ended with the Belgian dance.

14.10 We spent the fourth day in the center of Chania! There, we were able to explore this beautiful town, eat traditional Greek food, and take photos. In addition, we visited a local landfill, where we learned about the secrets and processes of compost production and waste segregation after we dispose of it from our homes.

15.10 We started the fifth day on the beach, integrating with the rest of the project members. Then we focused on creating campaigns in international groups. After work, it was time to relax by sunbathing and playing in the pool!

16.10 The last day of the project focused on completing our campaigns. The best one was created by Julka’s group! After that, we proposed and discussed projects we would like to participate in in the future. We spent the last moments partying with our new friends.
