DAY 1: SAFE SPACE, GAME SPACE

Here we are, at the beginning of a new adventure, ready to discover, to connect, to learn, and especially TO PLAY. We welcomed 40 excited youngsters, in Ελπιδοχώρι / Hopeland, with warmth and sun.

The first day was all about getting to know the magical land of the venue with a tour by Veso, Hopeland’s gatekeeper. We agreed on our common goal and we got to know all the players of Boomerang.

Vojta Žák introduced us to the gamification world with a playful activity called ”RISK!”, where we had to collect information about the certificates, the methods and the purpose of the project.

After the delicious lunch cooked by our two Italian chefs, we traveled through the 8 islands, representing the competences of the YouthPass and understood how we will develop them throughout the next 10 days.

Then we got in contact with ourselves by doing a body movement activity and created our ”avatar”, setting the scene of learning and the desired achievements.

We split into reflection groups and created our safe sharing space, and ended the day with a creative and fun game.

We are the players of the Boomerang youth exchange and we are also taking over the Facebook page of Roes Cooperativa for the next 10 days. Stay tuned!

The project is co-financed and supported by the Erasmus+ Youth Greece.
