Friday

Everyone is a bit sad about the fact that this is the last day of project, the last day in which
we get to spend our time in the beautiful island that is Crete, the last day in which we speak with
people from all around Europe. In the morning, before we split into groups, we played a few team-
building activities, including “Trust your chair” game. Everyone that is part of the project got split
into 6 groups that each worked for: blog, video, leaflets, speech, poster and infographics.
After we will finish, we will take a well-deserved break with coffee and international snacks
and, afterwards, we will evaluate our outcome, we will see what the rest of the teams created. In
the evening, everyone will participate in the closing ceremony and the festive dinner.
Even though not many say it, everyone will miss this project. It’s been a great opportunity
for each and every one of us to interact with new people and to get to participate in an European
Parliament simulation game, through which we all learned a great deal.

Starting the day we went to  5th Peiramatiko Lykio   Panepistimiou Kritis. We were given a school tour and got to know the school system. After that, we went to the Rethymno's town hall, where we had the rehearsal of the simulation of the European parliament. Afterwards, they took us to monastery of Arkadi and to ancient Eleutherna, where we watched a film about ancient Greece. Folowing that, we ate at a local traditional tavern. In the evening, after two hours of rest, we ate sushi all together and had great fun.

Tuesday

Leaving early in the morning to catch the bus gave us plenty of time to go on an excursion to Heraklion. As we arrived there, we hopped out of the car, took a deep breath of fresh air and went to get tickets. As we entered, we felt the air heavy with history; for the better half of the day, we roamed the old Knossos Palace, now only ruins that hold all the answers. Under clear skies and bright sunlight, we were guided by Mr. Tzouras; he explained the entire group what exactly happened in the historical sight, told us a few legends and their hidden meanings. After we left the sight, we went to Europe Direct Center, where an Information and Communication Manager of Europe Direct Crete explained us on the topic European Parliament and Cultural Heritage in EU policies. There, we watched a presentation about each European party individually, they explained us what each party stands for, what their beliefs are and how they help manage the Europe that we know today. When we finish...
