    We start out project at 6 of september by flying far away to Setubal just below Lisbon capital of Portugal. We spent whole week at Erasmus+ training course with the Portuguese NGO Ananda.
    We were sharing and learning practices concerning healthy behaviour, ways of engaging people and projects we were working on or could be created. The sort of over all topic was unemployment among young people - with Portugal as a case, but we also learned about the situations on the 12 participating countries. We were to representatives from each country; from Denmark to Egypt, Ukraine and Armenia. Also we had to - on the last day - create and implement a project in the city of Setúbal, which in the beginning seemed like a huge and impossible task but all groups created something that spread smiles and wonder among the citizens of Setúbal.
    Our training course was situated at the fresh food morning market in Setúbal.
    From first day we played plenty of name games to know each other, but also show what we like and what your interest are.
    At the second day we get to know ourselves more. To go deep in to us and recognize who we are. I was not a simple task.
    Then we "open up" for others and share our ideas and knowledge.
    It was an amazing experience for me to meet these people and learn so much just by one week.

    From 6 to 13 September I participated in the Erasmus+ training course “Open up to learn” with the Portuguese NGO Ananda in Setubal. The main aim of the project was encouraging young people to “open up” for new method of education, especially non-formal education.
    We were learning practices concerning healthy behaviour, ways of engaging people and projects we were working on or could be created. The topic was also unemployment among young people - with Portugal as a case, but we also learned about the situations on the 12 participating countries.
    During the project we participated in different activities from workshops, reflections, open space discussions, brainstorming to meditation lessons. What is more, some participants got up every morning at 6.30 am(!) and did yoga for the next two hours. We had a very interesting workshop reliant on the public speaking. Every of us had to prepare a short presentation about any topic and present it in public.
    On the last day we had to create and implement a project in the city of Setubal, which in the beginning seemed like a huge and impossible task but all groups created something that spread smiles and wonder among the citizens of Setubal.
    The project gave also an opportunity for young people to create a network of organizations, make new contacts and share experience and knowledge. Furthermore, members every evening participated in intercultural night by tasting traditional cuisine, learning national dances and listening presentations about every country.
    Project “Open to learn” was a fantastic adventure for me and gave me a lot of inspirations and knowledge about leading projects, working with people and different methods of education. Moreover, I want to start practicing yoga every morning. This project was one of the best I have ever been, especially because of the alternative ideas of workshops. To sum up, it ended up being a interesting training with super trainer and great people – I am sure we will be good friends for many years.
