Process of Adventure travel By Denmark Team We started our project with using a tool called index, where you use it to go through four processes, 1 make some word associated with the subject, 2 make some small groups out of these words, 3 starting forming your project and last but not least finish your project. In process 4 we had to form our project, we made a lot of mind maps, drawings and we mostly gathered information about our project. The app Adventure Travel was born because our group thought that it would be interesting to create an app with many more programs than the other apps had. Our experience to travel apps has not been good; many of them are either not working, reliable or have some little things to show. We wanted to make a good and a strong app that we could use in different countries. We wanted to give our app a personal touch, which meant that we had to find something that could be very different and it had to be better than the other apps. This process meant that we had to work with people who lived in the country so we could get their opinion in the way their country will be presented. We used public reference about the different places and what was the best thing to see in their country. Our main point to work with the app was the public and their choices to
show their country from their eyes. Our app turned out to carry information about transport, food, attractions, Specialty and much more from the different countries. We wanted to create a completely new world with everything someone wanted on their phone via the app. This app was a new opening for the younger and those who travel a lot. After we agreed on what the app was going to contain we started working on our website, flyers and many more things that were associated with our app. Don’t worry we won’t say that we didn’t have some disagreements and arguments about the project, because then we are lying, we had a lot of arguments over the style and the way the app was going to look, but in the end everyone got some off their wishes fulfilled and that was the beginning of the real project we made and finished. The most important thing in our project was the teamwork we all did because everyone had some great ideas and there were something to do for everyone. No one had a dull moment in our group because we tried to work in teams and that was our most important process for our project. Our finish product was not a physical app, but it was some kind of notebook with pictures and information about the 7 countries in Avitae.
Greece Airnet Junior: organizing education… and not only trips for European students in Greece By Marianthi Gountza and Ioanna Kaskaouti
Making mini companies was an unforgettable experience because we had the chance to learn how a company works. Things were not easy at all as we lacked any experience in that. We turned for help to a local travel agency and the
owner was pleased to offer us partnership in this endeavour. He thought it sounded as good business. He advised us on how we structure a successful programme, how we estimate costs. So we understood how difficult it is to organise a company be-
cause many actions have to be done to achieve a good result. Before we presented our mini company in italy we were anxious and stressed but in the end of that we realized that it was not so difficult as we thought and we got more confidence
in speaking english. Generally, during this trip we learned how important it is cooperating with others ,exchanging ideas and point of views.
EXPURE: The Transporting company By Angelos Kaselouris and Christos Kolios Several months ago, me and my partner Christos, started planning about creating our mini company named Expure , which was basically going to help local producers export their products to other countries. First of all we had to take under consideration which products we could export and to find the appropriate producers to provide them. So we learned how the market functions. Because of the fact that we had
to collaborate with transport companies we learned how this kind of companies work and which should be our priorities and concerns. Also we learned to think outside the box, which is the meaning of entrepreneurship, because we had to think of ways to make a gain without making our products more expensive. Moreover, we got experiences about the behavior and the manners an entrepreneur should have because we
had to make reluctant producers to trust us and to attract new customers. Generally we became more ready to face the real world and the market. However this project helped us not only with giving us knowledge on entrepreneurship but also helped us to improve our English skills. Thanks to this project we learned to collaborate with each other and of course we made so many new friends. Regarding the pre-
sentation of our company, we learned to react and stay calm on awkward and stressful moments. In the end , we both realized how hard , exhausting and time consuming building a company is , and although we had to face a lot of difficulties and confusions , it was all worth it , because our mini company really worked out !!!!
