After a long journey, the participants
form all destinations including: Jordan,
Palestine, Malta, Croatia and France
finally arrived to Italy in the beautiful
fishermen’s city of Bisceglie. This
morning we kicked off the “EUROPE
MEETS EUROMED 2017 #EME17” project
with some icebreakers to learn each
other’s names. After the first rounds of
just saying your name and country, we
increased the level by adding a
movement and making all the
participants repeat these names
combined with the correct
movements, which created some
funny situations. After the initial
introduction we went a little more into
depth with a workshop called “human
bingo”, this way we learned something
more about the hidden skills of our
participants, we found out who the
musicians and the daredevils are
amongst us. To get to know each
other even better we talked about the
expectations of this projects by
discussing our hopes, fears and
contributions. Around noon we
gathered to enjoy a delicious lunch
prepared by our very own chef; Vito.
In the afternoon we went to the city
centre to participate in the treasure
hunt of the old city of Bisceglie. Five
teams roamed the streets of Bisceglie
with the same goal; to get all the
answers to the questions of the quest.
After a few hours the winner (team 2
AKA “Tigers with short legs”) arrived first
and took all their glory. After dinner we
all looked at the pictures of that
afternoon and enjoyed some karaoke
to end this wonderful day in beauty.
People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real
conflict is between truths and lies.
