The following day (day 1st) was dedicated to introduction. In the morning we started with a brief intro of YEU, the Youth in Action (YiA) programme, the training and overall project of the train, the trainers team and the programme. After that we moved on to the expectations, fears and contributions activity where the participants had to put down what they expect from the training course, what are their fears and what kind of contribution they can make to the organisation of the training course.
After that started the City Discovery which aim was to get to know Amarante and get to know each other through teamwork. The participants were divided into different groups, each one of them with a different task. Of course, it was like the law of Murphy - it started raining....although we equiped the participants with umbrellas, soon the sun came out again and all our problems solved.

The idea of city discovery was to send the participants into the town to find answers to different questions and solutions to various tasks. For example they had to take a picture with the policemen and taste some typical food / drinks of Portugal.
After the lunch break begun the funniest part of the day. The participants had to present their results of their discoveries - a short presentation of their group members, show visuals of their findings and explain their task. We laughed a lot because one presentation was more crazy than other. One of them was even a complete non sense video where the participants did an interview with the river. Who wouldn't laugh at a question - are you planning to get married? Of course the river answered......yes (complete silence is considered to be yes!).

He was amaged how everyone went to the police office to have a picture with some police officers. He was quite sure that the following days the policemen will come to ask him what was going on. Amarante is a small city so everyone knows everyone.
After that we had the train session which aim was to explain the participants the overall flow of the project "InterActiveTrain - Get in and Gain". We splited the participants into groups and gave them some slips with short sentences which they had to put into chronical order. After that I made some corrections where necessary and we had a modified action plan! Later on some group building and other minor activities.
After lunch we had Anima-NGOs session in order to introduce the countries and organisations! Had loads of fun though most of the participants were quite tired...
