on-arrival training

A new group of volunteers arrived to Stelpe for short term project. We've got Lika and Orest from Ukraine, Raquel from Portugal and Aga and Kasia from Poland among us.
Last few days we've spent in the beautiful guest house “Rāmavas muiža”, where our on-arrival training took place. Our trainters, Inese and Kaspars, gave us a lot of new informations about Youth in Action programme, clarified our concerns and answered questions about the project and Youthpass.
We were using different methods to build up a team, tried to solve potential problems and crisises, learned good ways of communicating. Overall we gained a lot of useful knowledge.
There was also place for fun and integration. We participated in city game in Riga, took part in bird watching, had a "latvian culture evening" and cooked dishes specific to our countries.
Those 4 days were very intense so we were happy to come back to Stelpe and face our new responsibilities.
