VIVO.19 Youth Exchange
Sunday, 21. 7. 2019.
We enjoyed traveling to the Mozirska koča very much because of the beautiful nature and the kind people.
Right after arriving we settled in the rooms and started to get to know each other. We played a couple of fun games for the start and continued later in the evening. So we had the opportunity to get to know more closely with the other participants and to learn something about everyone. We like it very much here and we are looking forward to the upcoming days.

After sightseeing we went for a lunch in Ljubljana in a small menza called Klopčič.
In the afternoon we visited the House of EU, where we discovered interesting facts and information about the European Union. We also had two workshops. In the first one we discussed about conflicts and in the second one we talked about leadership.
The evening was relaxed and pleasant. We had a dinner in a lovely restaurant Druga violina and after that some free time to explore Ljubljana city center.
We had lunch in a restaurant in Nazarje and in the afternoon we went to a hunting cottage. There we talked with experienced hunter and firefighter. Later we had also the Cmrlj game. It was a quiz that we had to solve in group. It was a little bit difficult, but with team work we solved it. The last activity of the day was a surprise. We went to a place where a pilot was waiting for us with his small plane. Only one person had the opportunity to fly with the plane and it was Lea. She deserved it. When the plane landed we came back to our cottage. After dinner we had great time all together.

On friday morning we splitted in two groups and visited the hunters centre and a sports centre ŠD Strahovica near Šinkov Turn. Nikola and Lovro were in the sports group and Mario went to the hunters. We watched mentors working with children. They were also splitted into gruops and played football, on the playground, some went to walk five kilometers and some of them practised bocce game. With their mentor Aleš Borčnik we were talking about sports, how is to be five times world champion in bocce game and tried to throw some bocce balls. It was fun, but it isn’t easy as it seems. In meantime other group helped hunters to tidy up the house and yard. After that we have some refreshment in hunters house. Later we went to a fire station in Šinkov Turn (Koseze) and had a small workshop in groups. After that we visited a guy who was a commander in firefighter station and he talked about his station and life. We can learn from his past. After lunch we returned to fire station and separated into groups. Every group got a task to do, cleaning, preparing desks and benches, games for visitors, lottery and other stuff. Picnic started at 7pm and everybody got some job to do. Nikola and Mario were a waiters with some girls and Lovro was a bartender. We had a lot of fun serving our guests. There were games and people could get some prizes. Lea was the luckiest in lottery and she won a cake. After party has ended we cleaned up and had a small celebration. After all that, we sayed goodbye to some of our friends and then we returned to Mozirska Koča. For us that day was one of the best ones because we had a lot of fun with friends, met some new people and gained some new experiences.
We went to the ‘zip line’, where the prize winners tried the adrenaline drive. The Italian leader honored us with a special gift that we tasted when we drank a cup of coffee in the valley.
Goodbye was filled with the idea that we will still meeting at a similar event.
