The week from 19th January, JACis was pretty empty, because almost all youngsters who are usually attending JACis went to the Youth Exchange in Poland! On some days we were more volunteers than youngsters. Maybe you think it was boring but we actually had some interesting activities.
We started the week with our cooking activity! On Monday we
were cooking fried mashed potatoes which was supposed to be a traditional
German meal but Russians also claimed that its traditional and the internet
said something about Belgium... So let’s say we had an European traditional
meal! It was really nice and because we weren’t so many everyone could eat
enough to get full.

On Tuesday Georgiana and Paul went to another cooking
workshop at Zeimuls where Tamara, an Italian volunteer, showed us how to cook
original Italian Tiramisu. It was very interesting and of course delicious!
Thursday 22nd us volunteers went to Zeimuls
to present our project volunteers united. The event was called Jauniesu Forums
and us volunteers and youth workers had the possibility to present what they
are doing or have been doing and then a jury decided which project should win
an award. We saw a lot of youth, project's ideas, and organizations from Rezekne, along with their work. Even if we only had 3 minutes, our presentations was the most interactive and interesting. We were very proud!
After that us volunteers went to visit Tamaras English
conversation club where we played “Who am I?” which was fun. When we finished
and actually wanted to leave Clemence and Paul did an Impro session with their
instruments and even swapped them although no one really knew how to play the
others instrument! But in the end they even found a harmony :D
On Friday we did
our movie evening for the first time in Zeimuls together with Tamara. We
watched “BANKSY - Exit through the Gift Shop”.
On
Saturday Georgiana organized a teambuilding training for some
youngsters of youth council. We did trust and teamwork activities and we
discussed about topics like trust, communication and teamwork. It was
very nice to spend time with the youngsters and to see how they overcome
themselves and work together. In the end everyone was happy and learned
a lot!

On 25th January in Festival Park from Rezekne, local people celebrated the Snow festival. A lot of kids with their parents participated to a competition with a lot of funny games in the snow. The lion mascot animated the atmosphere, making everybody happy. Clemence and Georgiana were volunteering in this event - they prepared hot tea for everyone. A good moment to practice latvian language.
