The team from Ukraine visited the second round of non-formal education training near the city of Orvieto. This time, trainers and staff Il Cercosino, besides trainings, made an unforgettable trip to Orvieto and its memorable places. In addition to the fact that the participants learned to know themselves, to work in the team, to improve their knowledge of such issues as emigration, immigration and racism, they have visited many culinary and craft workshops. Everyone had the opportunity to cook a real Italian paste or to scoop interesting clay products.
The training location was deep in the mountains, at a distance of 15 kilometers from the city. It was a large house by the Cerquosino Artemide team. Life in the house was based on the principles of sorting and recycling garbage. All rubbish was sorted into 4 types: biological waste, paper, plastic and glass. Water was taken from the mountain river, and to take the shower it was necessary to prepare firewood and warm the water. All this resembled the life of an immigrant in another country with its rules and traditions. The Internet and other channels of communication were absent - it deepened the interest in the training.
The free time left the participants a lot of opportunities: everyone was talking, warming up under the fire, playing games, singing for a guitar or doing homework. Rather, it was a big plus than a small minus, because all the participants were able to open each other and maintain this warm environment before departure.
From the face of the Ukrainian team, we express our great appreciation to Association Artemide, the coach, Barbara Colombo, to all who participated in the organization of the training, and to all the participants for the fact that during the training we managed to become a great international family!
