Every day was different from each other and surprised us with pleasant emotions. The first day was Introduction day, the second day was dedicated to the presentation of the tools necessary for writing ERASMUS + Projects. Next day we started exploring the world of Project Writing.<\/p><p>Our schedule was based on NonFormal Learning principles, so the working methods were simulation exercises, multimedia presentations, work in groups, discussions and lectures, experiential learning, cooperative learning, shared responsibility, etc. Also we had an opportunity to communicate with participants from the Youth Exchange &#8220;Creativity Beyond Borders&#8221; that was also taking part in the Tsaf Tsouf camp, in Kavala. Most of them were from Great Britain, Poland, Italy, Hungary, and Latvia. On the fourth day we were divided into groups, to create our own Project, find the financing, to discuss the future process and all the necessary details.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8d3af3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c8d3af3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The last day of a training course was taken up with housekeeping-information on the final, last minute details, and course evaluations. All the participants did their best in the presentations of their own future projects exchanges. I was really satisfied to hear the ideas of my friends and I hope that they will give effect to their plans, because it is worth knowing about it to as many people as possible.\u00a0<\/p><p>Of course, the last day was not only about presentations of our projects, but also about saying goodbyes. It was such an emotional and moving evening. Despite the fact that the training course lasted only 5 days, we became a really close and cohesive\u00a0 community. It was really hard to let each other go. But I\u2019m sure that we will be able to see each other again in the near future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1970ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f1970ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitygreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u03b5\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1_2021-09-24_120154.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1180\" alt=\"\u03b5\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1 2021 09 24 120154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infinitygreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u03b5\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1_2021-09-24_120154.png 960w, https:\/\/infinitygreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u03b5\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1_2021-09-24_120154-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/infinitygreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u03b5\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1_2021-09-24_120154-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a14128 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4a14128\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cThis training course in Greece is probably one of the best summer experiences I have had.
