First thing we did this morning in groups was to define what
we believed non formal education meant.
Our definition was “Non formal education is a more engaging
less pressured, non competitive individual style of learning. It is laid out in a
way that is more enjoyable for those involved. It allows you to be more
creative, learn life skills and have fun in and educational way.
After a short coffee break we had a lesson about different
styles of learning. We were told to sit on our own, we were then given a piece
of paper and told to make a frog... My frog did not go well. It ended up being
a plane. We then rejoined and we allowed working in small groups and try to
figure out how to do it. After that wad unsuccessful we then rejoined as a
circle and Toni told us step by step how to make it correctly. I’m sure you
will now agree that my frog is glorious now.
After lunch we were split up again into groups, this time
the groups only contained one member from each country. We then had to write
down the problems that are faced by our NGOs and people involved in them and
present them to the class.
After dinner we have our intercultural evening, we shall
keep you updated with that I’m sure.
