Today has been the longest day since we came to Sweden.

We woke up early in the morning and after breakfast we started to work. We had to leave house around 11 to catch bus in 11.30 to go to visit one of the schools and make presentation.
It’s been really tough presentation. We had small class of 30 different students and first we made a presentation about Up with People and after that we worked on 2 activities. First activity was activity to show them that no matter that we are all in the same classroom that we are all different. It is an activity with piece of paper.
Second activity was Cross the line activity. We had some tough questions for this activity and students responded differently. All of the students were part of cross the line activity but most of them didn’t want to discuss about the questions we asked them. It was just too hard for them.

I don’t remember if I talked about issue here in Sodertalje. Big issue here are refugees and it’s a big problem among students in high school or any other association.

After finishing workshops in school, it was already 3PM and Faith and I decided to take lunch, but we got message from Florence that we are going to visit Football stadium where our CI project is going to take place.
It is really nice stadium.
After visiting stadium we come to office to continue working and soon we had meeting with Mohamed, guy from SodertaljeKommun who is working with us. We had to discuss about what is going on our CI project and how everything is going to be.
After that meeting I worked more on setting the host families and at the end, Faith and I finished our work at 6.45.

Luckily, our host mum prepared us really nice dinner and thank her and whole host family to take care so well about us.
