The Polish Budders had workshops organised by NGO Europe4Youth. The topic was how to activate young people, encourage them to participate in local community, teach them how to debate, join a dialogue with local authorities. It was a symulation of negotiations among authorities, youth organisations and businessmen. The students played different roles and their aim was to convince the authorities to build a youth centre in the commune, which would support young people to develop their skills, interests and competences. 

It was a good lesson of social entrepreneurship for the students :-) 

Our partnerships country, Poland, has sent us this video.

Here is a message from Renata, the international coordinator from Poland:

The students took part in a 3-day workshop called 'Euroweek - the school of Leaders'. During the course they stayed all 3 days with volunteers from all over the world: Latvia, Turkey, Denmark, Philippines, India, Columbia, Italy. During the workshop they took part in various activities, games and dramas which aimed to teach them cooperation/collaboration skills, problem solving, sharing responsibilities, reliability, team work. They also discussed some serious matters, learnt how to make autopresentation or make a speech in public. They had lots of fun, I'm sure you can see that in the pics. Al lthe time they had to speak English since the volunteers couldn't speak Polish, which was obviously very good for their language skills and balance of competence;-) Apart from that my students watched presentations about the volunteers' native countries, in English of course.
Really nice workshop which taught my students to be more motivated, creative, open, self-confident and tolerant too - crucial features for budding entrepreneurs;-)
