Today we have continued with the analyzing of the conflict. Klaus played us a game as a warmup activity for the serious issues. There was a covered box in the corner, with one side blue and the other green. After revealing it from one side of the corner, we could only see one side and when we were asked what colour it was, we said it was green but the other side said it was blue, so we all had to check the other side, that it was not green or blue but both…






Then we started to talk about more serious things with Michael. We continued clarifying the terms about the conflict. Michael tried to talk about the most important issues in this complicated conflict. We also had to consider the definition of our nations.








Then, in the afternoon it was the time for workshops. There were many opportunities to have fun and do exciting and interesting things. We could have a chess workshop with Gábor Ősz, the Yoga workshop with Julia, jewellery-making with Resi, football with Klaus and creative drumming with Rita… Since the weather wasn’t that good all these workshops have been held indoor.

The evening was all about the Austrian team. They prepared us their food, we had some delicious soup and meatballs plus a so called Apfelstrudel for dessert. The night went on with cultural presentation. An Austrian folklore dance team and an old musician came and showed us some national dances, but they also asked us to participate in the dances. It was so great that even those who can’t dance (like me) tried to dance and had a great time! We also played some dance related games so everyone could find the taste of their own. There are some pictures, even though they cannot give back the real feeling of that night…
