Education day in Belgium
Today was education day for everyone.
In the morning we had cultural presentation about Venezuela and it was really interesting to gear more about Venezuela and geography and some fun facts and history of Venezuela. Thank you Rafael and Celiana for sharing that with us.
After that presentation we had personal goal letters workshop. We received our old letters from first day in Denver when we had to set our goals for this semester and write them down in letter and now we received those letters and we got a chance to read them and to see if we reached our goals. It was soo funny as I forgot that we even wrote those letters and it was so funny to read what I wrote to myself 3 months ago. I can say that I reached some goals but during program some other things become more important than those I wrote so I have had some changes in my goal setting during program and some goals from the beginning of program are not so much important to me anymore. Our new activity was to write letter now with new goals for the rest of the tour. Now was much easier to write that as now I know more about Up with People and I know what I want to get from it.
After lunch we had presentation about European Union as Belgium and Brussels is center of EU parliament. After that we had workshop on press conference and how to handle pressure of different questions asked on press conferences. It was fun as there were some really strange questions. After that we had public speaking workshop where every each of us had to prepare 2 minute speech and present it in front of participants. We could talk about our passions, inspiring moments or challenging moments. I choose to talk about inspiring person I met during my travels who showed me that I’m on the right place and that I’m doing right thing. It is someone who did a big impact on me during my stay in Sodertalje and who came to visit me in Uelzen. He is my Swedish brother.
After that we had short rehearsal and wrap up. This evening my host roommate Johan joined us as he come back from Holland where he did some promotion work. This is first time I have male roommate and it is really cool as we now have chance to meet also male participants, not only female.
Our host mum prepared us nice dinner, again some special Belgium food which was good.
I managed to upload some photos from Uelzen. More photo updates are coming soon. Here you can see Uelzen photos.
