The first day started with some tongue twisters to divide us into six groups. In those we had to play a kahoot, which was a quiz game about our home countries. Afterwards we moved to the gym to let the atmosphere swing with a dance called follow the leader. To make the atmosphere even funnier the Romanian team planned some ice breaking activities, which started with the game named “two truths and one lie”. As the name of the game already says everybody had to write two truths and one lie about themselves. Then they got mixed up and everyone had to found another truths about themselves. Next, we played a very complex game with the name “Dardiens”, that was a lot of fun and a real ice breaker. In this
game everybody learned some “new traditions” from a lost society. In the following activity everyone got the chance to improve their drawing skills and creative minds. We drew some modern pictures and built some really nice and creative spaghetti-marshmallowtowers. In conclusion, we can say that the activities and all the games were the perfect opportunity to know each other’s better.

Cityhunt through Lugoj On Monday our whole group enjoyed an interesting trip through the town while we could discover a lot of famous places of Lugoj.
All in all we had a great time learning a lot about Lugoj in a playful way.
The city tour was arranged in form of a game in order to make it more fun: Each team had to find 13 sights and buildings in a useful order so that it was possible to find many places in little time.
The game consisted of a challenge between the teams and the goal was to be the fastest group. We had to find the QR-codes that were placed on every sight and then scan them with our mobile phones. As a proof of being there we had to take a group selfie on which you should be able to see the famous place in the back-
ground and upload it on this website: https://repedeamanda.wixsite.com/ lugojguidedtour That way we had the chance to see the greatest parts of the town and to discover a lot of Romanian culture.
After every group has finished we met in front of the university and exchanged our impressions about the day and our new experiences. All in all we had a great time learning a lot about Lugoj in a playful way.

us about their life story and about the center for disabled people. There were two of them - a lady, Dorina Vargatu, who runs that organization and a man, Vasile Stoica, who is a traveler. Both of them have had the same disability since they were young, but they got used to it and learned how to live a “normal� life. Mrs. Vargatu told us about the center for disabled people and about the way of living with that kind of disability.

Sports competition “All different, all equal� It happened on Tuesday. We met at the gym at about 9 a.m. and after we started training for the games, darts, table tennis and basketball. After training the games started.
After the darts competition ended we went to have the lunch and after regaining new power we started playing basketball. This was also a new experience because there were wheel chair drivers too. At first, it was quite confusing for us, the players, because they were sitting, but in the end it felt just like a normal game.
All in all, the day was very nice and we enjoyed it. The best thing we learnt is that we are all equal and all different
First of all, there was the table tennis competition where we played against people with physical disabilities. Many of them play table tennis as a hobby so they were quite good at it. Because of this it was hard for us to score points. Nevertheless, it was quite funny and we made new friends.
During the table tennis matches there was also the darts competition which was interesting because we had to learn that you should not use that much power to throw the darts.
In the end, Mrs. Maris, the Romanian teacher, announced the winners. Every winner got a medal and a certificate. Every country received a trophy for participating in the competition. All in all, the day was very nice and we enjoyed it. The best thing we learnt is that we are all equal and all different . Victory Team

Work with international groups We’ve been working in international groups during the Project – week in Romania. How did we find our groups? We formed the groups on Monday with a little game: We had the word “Europe” written on the board and every group, still in their countries group, got an envelope with cards with different words on it, one card for each student. Then we started with the first letter “E” and were looking for the words building a tongue-twister with this letter. The students who had the words forming this tongue-twister were the first group and we continued like this with the other letters of the word “Europe”.
present on Friday. We worked in different ways, all as one group or we divided our work inside the team. In many groups it was like that the members said something in every of the five languages, but not from their own language. For example a Romanian said something in Hungarian. We were talking in English together all the time but still we exWe were talking in English together all the time but still we exchanged some words in changed some words in different languages. It was also interesting to learn about the different traditions
The different groups then had to give themselves names when we played the first game in our groups, kahoot!.

Every team had their own topic about healthy lifestyle they had to

Our trip to Timisoara We went to Timisoara on October the 4 . We met early in the morning in front of the high school where a bus has been already waiting for us. When we arrived in Timisoara we first did a guided city tour by Ludovic. th
After learning a lot about the interesting history of the city we went to “Liceul Teoretic Special Iris Timișoara” which is a school for children with visual impairments. They showed us how they teach those children by using other senses than the visual. Subsequently they taught us using the writing machine for the braille alphabet and let us draw on special papers which are usually used by blind artists. We have learnt lots of new information about visual impairments and the everyday life of
people with those disabilities. The following point on our schedule was an hour break in a shopping center. Being rested we went to a presentation about Exo-Skeletons. We learnt about the inventing process and how it works. We also got to know the price -(at the moment between 100.000-150.000 euros) and their future. Afterwards we got some time to become acquainted with Timisoara on our own and buy some souvenirs. It was a very nice and enlarging day. The Peter Pipers
