Day 8, 4th of September 2011

(Presentation of the day was made by the Romanian group)

Today we woke up at 7 a.m., we had breakfast at 7:15 and at 7:50 we took our way to Brasov.

After we arrived there, we went to Piata Sfatului, where we put some posters. It was nice because we were like a green sea (we were all wearing those green T-shirts with ”Green Consumer”). Then the green sea had to move in the market where we spread leaflets while Tolea, Iulia and Ana were interviewing the customers and the sellers about consuming.

After that, we left the market, spread more leaflets in the city, have some free time to hike to the citadel and visit the old town. 

Then, we left again for Rasnov were we had visited the fortress and took a very nice group picture.

After that we were headed for Bran, where some of us visited Dracula’s castle, the others the open market in front of it.

Finally, we were on our way to Vila Cristina. We had a short break and after diner we started the activities.

We watched again the video presentation that we had made in each day, just to ”refresh” our memories.

We had some questionnaires about the whole week, then the ”Hand Evaluation”: we had to draw our palm on a piece of paper and we had to write the best thing happend on the big finger, something we will take with us on the pointing finger, on the middle finger something we did not like, a promise for the future on the ring finger and something little on the little finger.

After that we had the ”Final Evaluation”, shaped like a Pizza. The rules were simple: you had to put a point on the pizza acording to your feelings about this project, in the middle was the worst project ever, on the edge was ”great”. The Pizza had 8 slices, ”Acomodation”, ”Facilities”, ”Food”, ”Group Dinamics”, ”Activities”, ”Free time”, ”Learning process”, ”Organization”.

We could say that the result was a good pizza, if you know what I mean.

Then, the big moment, the reveal of the secret friend AND the youth pass. One volunteer went in the front and described his/hers secret friend, and the rest of us had to guess. Then he/she had to give the youth pass to his/hers secret friend.

One more activity and the work is over: we turned off the lights, and each of us, one by one, lighted a match and while the match burned we had to say what we feel about this project. It was a nice atmosphere, full of magic and good memories.

Then some of us went to sleep, a long way back home is waiting for them, some staied and talked, daced or played.

But soon we will have to say goodbye to each other and who knows when or if we are going to meet again.

This is the end of the presentation.
