Thursday 5 August

Host families
In the afternoon all participants returned from their host families to Rally venue. During the debriefing participants shared their experiences and emotions while visiting Swedish families. Everybody enjoyed time what they spent there.

After debriefing participants had BBQ with the members of their host families. The BBQ was delicious and it was a great opportunity to discuss events of the previous day.

Creative Market
The participants also took part in a Creative Market, where national teams could sell or hand out traditional products and handicrafts of their countries. Although not all countries participated in the Creative Market they were very well prepared and offered a wide range of goods. All the participants bought things and really enjoyed the experience of seeing products from many countries.





Workshops
During the day we had the opportunity to participate in two workshops of special interest:
• Fundraising
• Youth Employment

The Fundraising workshop was held by Johan Ekman from the European Youth Forum Board. The participants first did a financial and organisational analysis followed by looking at the competitive edge our organization can offer.

The second workshop was held by Kadri Toomingas and Michael Schwab from the Rural Youth Europe board. Participants were given an overview of the Youth Employment Action (YEA) project and then shared best practice between organisations. We heard about the Finnish 4H enterprise model and the Welsh enterprise scheme as two examples of good practice. We also heard about other activities and employment schemes from other national organisations.

We hope that participants of other countries are as excited and satisfied as we are about this day!
