Before the break group was divided into 5 groups and each gained one of 5 sustainable development goal.

Poverty. Goal is to improve positions of poors to fight for their rights and divide resources equally. Less corruption, better social security conditions, increase the level of safety. Include various and more countries into decision making, better transportation.

Hunger. Reasons and solutions: global warming negative affect; Renewable energy (for example Bolivia is using it for food production); high levels of consumption; fresh water usage in agriculture is too big that is why we need to reduce it and look for another options; Partnership and help can provide technologies and needed information for the developing countries.

Climate change. Education, financing climate protection.

Education. Embrace talents by helping them in various situations, increase literacy level in population, quality of teaching.

Fishing and legal/illegal hunting must also be restricted.

Deforestation. Planting trees in Africa because Sahara is spreading very actively, pesticides are killing not only plants but insects and bees especially.

Gender equality. Equal access to opportunities in workplace and everyday life.

Goals were made in 1998, before they were made Millenium goals. Just 11 years left to reach these goals so this shows how much each and everyone needs to put effort in it.

World map was presented to the group and they were asked to say how it is different from ordinary maps (wrong size, strange shapes, no Antarctica, ect.).

All the group was divided into two and asked to evaluate its population size and GDP. The map visually showed the impact each country with the biggest population and highest GDPs has. Was a very good example to see connections how countries contribute to pollution problems, compare countries’ average wages, see what exactly population sizes are.

There were room for new building if the participant wanted to add some new.
The participants were divided by national teams and they were discussing regarding their local situation which relation they have and,  looking back the Hart's ladder, which position of the scale of participation they are or have been.

Youth representation in Serbia. Strong NGO sector, however there are more activities and organizations in the Belgrad compared to the smaller cities and towns. Talked about the online magazine that was created by one of the Serbian member. Main idea about it is to focus on various activities that youngsters are doing, loving to talk about and care about. This magazine has no governmental support because political system is quite corrupted. Many more activities like squatting for social good was presented as well.

In this activities the participants were divided in small groups and each group had 8 cases were the youth are involved. They had to put in order of the participation.
This gave the introduction of the ladder of Youth participation of the Sociologist Roger Hart.
We were actively discussing their results. Everybody feeling different about how to classify youth participation in youth activities, they shared and discussed their own input in it. They are understanding why they are needed and useful in this field.

This game was taken seriously by the group and many ideas and thoughts arose after it:

/ Fast pace and fun game but different rules near the each table were hard to understand at first.

/ Such questions as should I follow my rules or the ones at the table were the main for the game participants. Was hard to say what exactly were happening at first when new people were joining the table with apparently different understanding of the game rules. Some people who were joining the tables adapted to the rules at the table, others were letting newcomers to lead the game.

/ It took couple of people’s changes for them starting to understand that there are different game rules that people are following.

/ How it affects the real life? Different rules applies to different places (country, university, ect.). It reveals how acceptive we are and interested in learning in different conditions/environment. Not everything is just black or white, so we need to be flexible in accepting others’ rules and trying to adapt ours.

/ Speaking ban obstacle shows that sometimes it is hard to express yourself. It may result in feeling confused, angry and as a stranger. However for somebody it was not hard to adapt to this.

/ How people did manage to win even when following different rules? Some let others to go to the next table (the winner) sometimes in democratic ways, sometimes because they didn’t want to be in a place where they will be strangers at the new table. Whereas some were trying to convince they are right and have won.

/ Another thing is that some people managed to find somebody who was willing to explain the rules at the table even without the words.

/ The idea came for one of the group member that it would be harder to play if not one but more people would move to the next table.

/ How all this applies to our everyday life? Many immigrants are coming and this process goes faster than fluent adaptation. It can also be applied to young people trying to include themselves into the system that has been made long ago. Not always we can easily adapt to changes. Because we feel unsafe and unsecured. However, it can goes to the advantage of yours because you became more efficient and critical. It’s like music – when you resonate, you can create something special. It’s also about listening to each others, newcomers and old ones because there is no right or wrong, it’s about compromise.

The participants were working in small groups to make a safety nest for a raw egg which had to land without breaking. Some of the expressions after the game were: “It was very fun. We had no leader and it was more of the teamwork”; someone else said “Not everyone every time needs a leader. It depends on the situation.” Someone added that all group members were making enough effort.” For some it was more difficult: “We had conflicting ideas and it was difficult to decide. It wasn’t very efficient”.

It is a game where people had to work in groups of 5-6 people and together built the longest and most stable tower with a bunch of spaghetti for a piece of marshmallow. In the end only one group succeeded while they concentrated on the stability of the tower.
The reflection after discussion lead to insights that everyone in each group was doing some kind of task. Some of the groups had natural leaders that were giving ideas and managing the work.

# data[].attributes.body
The whole group was divided into 2 and each group got their task. One group was to build the highest tower with the chairs in the room and the other group was to make the biggest circle with the chairs. After the game the participants had long discussion of the game to reflect upon their strategies they used or missed while playing. They understood that they had poor cooperation with one another as a team. They also understood that they were playing ruled by their selfish instincts and not wisely and with the team and that make the perfect introduction of the concept of tragedy of the commons.

At this stage the participants were introduced the "Youthpass Mandala.” It included the topics the participants were going to come over during the "GLAD” program. They got acquainted with the 8 key competences of Youthpass and discussed them.
Everyday after the workshops the participants were divided in 5 groups to reflect on what did they learned during the sessions and if they achieved some of the 8 key competences they had time to write them and add to the Mandala

This was followed by putting the expectations and fears of the participants on the map of their Erasmus journey.
Divided in 5 areas and 4 different color this map represent the journey of learning from the harbor to the sun. Each participant got post-its per each section combined with the colors.
The areas were with some questions to facilitate the understanding:

The harbor: What I left in my country /house/life during this "adventure" are coming next?

The luggage: What I brought with me to my journey?

The wind represent the Motivation;

The storm: Which barriers I can find during my "adventure"?

The sun represent the Expectations

During the introduction of the program we spoke about the rules, values and freedom of speech.
The participants learned about their schedule. Then they suggested some rules they would like to have and follow during the program in a democratic way by voting. They were showing thumbs up or down to vote. If the majority had their thumbs up, the rule passed. This process helped the participants to get integrated into the discussion where they found pathes to come to agreement by respecting each other’s opinions. Then they were introduced the rules that are already set for the program and the hostel.

The first day of the project started by an energizer where everyone was to present himself saying his name and making a certain gesture. The next participant was to do the same but before introducing himself he was supposed to repeat the name and the gesture of all the participants before him.

This activity came up as an ice-breaker and helped the participants to memorize each other’s names.

# data[].attributes.body
The participants played the blanket game where they were divided into 2 groups seated in front of each other and separated by the blanket. The blanket was up so that they couldn’t see each other. When the blanket fell down the 2 leaders chosen by each group were to say the name of the participant sitting in front of him as soon as possible. This game also came up as an energizer and helped to remember each other’s names better.
