Working Together & 4 Wolrd Centre Game

This morning my Australian roommate accidentally woked me up when she was preparing a shower. She was back within two minutes yelling that is was snowing and pointing to the window. The Mexican girl also woke up and was very excited, because this was the first time she saw snow in real. They made a lot of pictures and get outside to play with it. It was just a little bit snow, that wasn’t enough to cover the grass. Then I also get out of bed to get breakfast and be on time for the day-opening. Today’s theme is working together.

Before the morning session started we had to fill in the evaluation form of the day before. Then we were divided in three groups and we got a few assignments. The first one was to build a tower with canes for a candle. Then the other groups need to observe our group wherefore we must sit down in a circle while holding a rope, on a signal we had to get a lolly. We worked together so everybody got her lolly and we didn’t grab all together to our own lolly. The other group got the same question, but a little harder and the last group got a rope around the head, in the middle of fives ropes there was a lolly and the must put the lolly in a bowl somewhere in the room. The last exercise before coffebreak was quit hard, we had a part of a maze and only one girl may watch the original maze. Then the other girls needed to paint the missing mazes in the picture. But before, she distributes little carts with some of them having a or s on it. The S stands for saboteur, only the saboteur in my group didn’t understand the exercise. The exercise without having a saboteur was hard enough. Then after the coffee break we did little games like the three, feeding the victim and the wave. We finished the session with a dance in canon.

The lunch was the same as the day before and then we had a hour and half for our own. With a few other girls we played outside in the snow and then I read a bit, while laying down on my bed. The Australian girl supported me while she was making her homework.

The second session of this day was called Discover our supporters. Linden Edgell (from the world board) told us about the supporters of WAGGGS and a few things about fund raising and financing. Then we need to fill in an example of the new form for financial support for WAGGGS. We also got a project to fill it in for, my group got a HIV / AIDSproject out Zambia. Then we played a game that we must visit some organisations like WAGGGS, UN, World Bank and other National Organisation to ask them for money. This to experience how it is to ask for money in real. The session ends with filling in the evaluation form of the day before.

The diner of today is cauliflower, potatoes and beef. It tasted very well. Then we had free time till the evening session. Before the planned evening session started we had the final three oror-presentations of the country’s who hadn’t had time the day before. Then we did the 4 World Centre Game. This was a digital game with multiple choice questions about the different World Centres. After that we had a little chat and did a game with tequila and we went to bed.
