This morning we started to deal with the topic of this exchange that is Active Citizienship and Gender Equality. So, this morning we talked about Stereotypes of women and men starting it by watching some videos about this subject. After watching videos we discussed in groups and we had the opportunity to face up and know the different, or often similar,  thinking between Italians and Basques guys.

 

In the afternoon we enjoyed a gift that was given to us by them! We decorated typical basque shoes in a great park, Doña Casilda, just near the Museo de Bellas Artes and later we had free time untill dinner.

Now we´re having fun at the hostel and we are eating carbonara, a typical pasta dish in Italy.

Thanks to everyone for this day together!

This morning, we have been in a park where we played team-building games all together. After that we have visited Bizkaia, a guide showed us the building and she told us some informations about the paintings and the rooms. From 12 o’clock till 2 p.m. we had our free time and so we visited Bilbao.

After the lunch we played «clue game» around Bilbao: it has been very difficult because we had to walk a lot to search the places and take selfie, despite that it has been very funny and productive because we got to know how the city is.

Now we are very tired and I think that we’ll go to sleep very early.

Today we went to a town called Getxo, it is near Bilbao. There we saw a windmill and a big old castle. After we saw clives. Then we went to the beach under the town and some of us swam in the sea ( the water was very cold!). After swimming we had lunch together and when we finished we played an italian game(we had a lot of fun!!).

At half past five we decided to come back to Bilbao and we took the subway. When we arrived we had some free time, and at 7 o’clock we returned to the «Gaztegune».

Now we are waiting for other guys who came today.

The first day of the exchange went well. The Italians arrived around 7 pm. and the Bascos arrived at 6pm at the metro of Castel Viejo. Before the arrival of the Italians, the Bascos made welcome posters written in different languages. The Italians started their journey at Linate airport at 10.30 am. where they flew to Madrid  and then to Bilbao. When everyone was in Gastegune we exchanged names and then had dinner. After dinner,  we played a game to remember each others names. At 10 pm. the group got to the hostel and settled in and by midnight everyone was quiet. All in all, a good first day!
