Day 9: happy ending

A day started with energizer as usual. This time our task was to make others laugh asking others "Honey bunny, why don’t you love me?". Of course we had emotionless players, Estonians for example, who were die-hard enough to keep their poker face until the end of the game. Because it was our last training day we received information about reimbrusement and other technical stuff that we had to manage at the end of the day.

After practical information we had to gather again in our project groups to write down our project future steps. We prepared a timetable with task division. Every group introduced their ideas to others to share our thoughts about time management. We ended our morning session with making posters about how we are going to promote our experience in our organizations and how to include people with fewer opportunities also into those projects. Soon you can read our thoughts in that blog.

In the afternoon there was a time for reflection again. Everybody had a change to discuss with her/his buddy how to fill in the youth pass. We have cooperated for days and it had helped a lot to look inside to yourself. So, now thanks to our diary and reflection buddy it was easier to fill in the youth pass Moreover, we got a youth pass training and materials few days ago that made our job so much easier.

After self-reflection we started cleaning the room, with those 9 days we have created a cozy environment. We sticked many posters and helpful materials on the walls. Now, when the walls are empty we lost part of our identity, I would say. Then we all gathered together to make our last task together. We made a net out of rope. Every person had to describe with a sentence (but usually more than that 😁) the time we spent together. Session got a bit emotional because as it is said before we have a really good group spirit. But task was good because it helped to look back to those 9 amazing days we spent together.

After our session we got free time to discover Viljandi, pack our bags or just rest a bit. Most of the people who visited this lovely Estonian city were delighted afterwards. For me, it was good to hear that because I am in love with Viljandi already 19 years. Today it is the last day and probably everyone understands now that end is near.

Our final meeting was really exciting one. It was finally time to get to know your secret friend. Some of the participants were super hyped and even on previous days asked from everybody who is their secret friend. Secret friend ceremony took place in our casual room. One person was sitting on the chair eyes closed while his/her secret friend took a place on opposite chair. If person wasn't sure who is her/his secret friend person had an opportunity to touch a friend. Some persons used tricky facilities to confuse blind person. It was funny and kind of psychological game.


After no-more-secrets-anymore we all received our youth passes. And it wasn't just calling this person in front of, but each person had to describe youth pass owner with few words, while others needed to guess who it is. At the end we watched a great video about our project (maybe we even upload it into Youtube) We ended our night with music, grazy dances and funny conversations. Hopefully it is a happy ending and we don't have to pour tears on the departure day.
