Getting started!

-
The first day of activities in MIPD is over and everything is already in the move.

After arriving last night we took a walk around Munilla and got and insight to Spanish way of living and some of La Rioja's tradition, as well as seing the XV century church and bridge.

But today has been the day to start working hard. Early in the morning we started the day by doing some getting-acquinted activities, showing our artistic side (what a pity there is not an "artistic intelligence"). The pieces of art we created should definitely have their place in the most prestigious museums.


 Then we got into business. The basis of this project were presented and we found out about Projecting Youth (you can access the presentation through this link) and we brainstormed on our impressions on the different intelligences gathered in Howard Gardner's theory.

After lunch break we started the afternoon workshops by learning new ice-breakers and energizers to get our groups of youngster into the right atmosphere to start doing theatre-related activities. Not to forget that we also discussed how to carry out artistic projects, first with a presentation of a method and afterwards sharing our own personal experiences in project management.

The icing on the cake of this day was the Kinesthetic Intelligence workshop. Moving our bodies, comunicating without words, sculpting... were some of the highlights of the activity. But what we can all agree on is that working as a team gives us the courage to develop further our kinesthetic skills. 

With this final reflection we finished the activities for the day. We will definitely keep thatin mind.

Our project is starting to edge towards its end. Today we started the day with a presentation of ON&OFF's best practices for creating a social media following which was then followed by an open floor,for all the partner organisations to share their ideas on how to best organise projects. Afterwards, the participants went to the woods to explore their naturalistic intelligence! The main activity of the project involved all the participants being blindfolded and led shoulder by shoulder into the woods to listen to the music of nature. After making their way halfway up the hill, they were paired into the blindfolded and leaders. The task was then for the leaders to lead their blindfolded partners up the mountain while stopping to smell the roses. However, the leaders couldn't say what their partners were touching, they could only describe it through metaphors. It was such a relaxing return to nature for all the participants that was topped off by a trip to the hot springs of...

Our cultural visit to Logro ñ o was very exciting for our participants who have never been to spain, but also equally as exciting for the participants that have been to other parts of spain. This is because Logro ñ o has a very realistic view of Spain to show to tourists. The participants first went to IRJ to meet the President of La Rioja and to view the Spanish youth facilities. This proved to be an important opportunity for the participants to learn how Spanish projects are organised and funded. After a public social event with the president, the participants finally got to experience the true Spanish tradition of Calle Laurel- the famous Spanish tapas street! We were even invited to free tapas on the expense of IRJ! The participants then had a few hours to explore our beautiful city before we joined together again to participate in a Musical Intelligence Workshop. We also had the pleasure of interviewing youngsters who have participated in the original project of "Project...
