Friday 6 August

Rise and Shine
Rise and shine was very interesting following the story of evolution via rock paper scissors. Everyone started as an amoeba, then became a chicken, then a monkey and finally a human.



World Café

Participants sat on different tables and discussed the following topics:
1. Local entrepreneurs in your area.
2. How can your organisation support entrepreneurship?
3. Your dream business/job.

When Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” was played we moved tables and discussed a new topic with different participants. There was a very dynamic sharing of experiences and opinions during this session.

Open Space
Open Space followed with a wide mix of serious and not-so-serious workshops:
• Hair plaiting
• Traditional dancing from different countries – Armenia, Ireland and Scotland
• Mole catching
• Fire breathing,
• Letter writing
• Irish Cindrella drama
• Flower headdress making
• Enterprise model from Finland
• Young Farmers Clubs as an enterprise
• Setting up a farm shop
• Benefits of rural tourism
• Youth exchanges within Europe

Participants could choose which workshop to attend and they really enjoyed exploring new activities and learning things from many countries.

Evaluation
The first part of the afternoon was spent waiting in a tent in the pouring rain filling in evaluation questions. For the second part, we were transported to a meeting point and from here we walked through the woods, compiling feedback for the evaluation forms that were collected on route from various members of the prep team. On emerging from the foliage, we discovered we were on top of a sand dune, overlooking a stunning beach. This was only spoiled by the rabble that was the rally squad and their frolicing antics.

After the evaluation ended, games of football and frisbie were attempted and some actually braved the sea and tried to avoid the jellyfish! A quick dry off, and we set off on a mission back to the pick-up point, where we piled into the cars/mini-bus for the short trip back to Plönninge.

The day ended with the official closing ceremony, final dinner and party.

Thanks to all for a fab and unforgettable week, here in the Halland Region of Sweden!
