In the morning we did a workshop to know each other better. We completed a timeline of our lives. At the beginning some people were shy but little by little we started to have more confidence and have fun.

In the afternoon we went to the dam (presa) of Arantzile to have a BBQ. At first the fire didn’t light but suddenly it became bigger and it cooked very well.

At the night activity we had fun and we laught a lot playing board games (oca, parchis…) and reading the gossip box.

To start the day, we worked on values and we looked  at differents opinions on family and friends. In the afternoon, we went to the trenches and we saw 3 bunkers of the second war. In the evening, we played some games in groups like «pañuelito» and typical basque sports. In conclusion, we trust in friends after learning different opinions between friends and family.

The first activity we did that day was going to the swimming pool. When we were there some people sunbathe while other people went swimming. Everyone enjoyed this activity as it give the young people a chance to get to know each other.

In the afternoon we went to visit Galdakao, and some of the young people gave a tour. this give the Northern Irish people a better understanding of what it was like to live in the Basque Country.

On the first day we all got off the bus and we meet up with everyone. We first got showed our rooms then we went outside and did ice breakers to get to know everyone and their names. We all eventually settled in to what we come to as a school, it wasnt too pleasant but we got used to the conditions and made the most of it. After we got dinner and it wasnt the nicest because we are not used to the culture but we eventually got used to the taste.
