Ever joined an activity and thought: “Okay… but why are we doing this?” 👀

Day 3 gave us the answer! 🤗

We explored the basics of non-formal education and facilitation, looking at how people learn through experience and what actually goes into designing a meaningful activity 🧠

We discussed learning goals, tried different methods, reflected on our experiences, and started thinking less like participants and more like facilitators 💬

Because an activity isn’t there just because it’s fun. Behind the games, discussions, group tasks, sticky notes and reflections, there should always be a reason for doing them 🌱

And once you start noticing that, you begin looking at youth activities very differently.

👉 Follow us! There’s much more behind youth work than what you see from the outside!

Okay… now we actually have to remember everyone’s names. 😅

Day 2 was all about icebreakers and team building; getting to know each other, becoming comfortable in the group, and creating the foundation for everything that would follow 🤝

We talked, played, solved challenges together, and found ourselves working with people we had only met the day before 💬

Some activities were easy. Some required a little more cooperation. And some simply gave us a reason to laugh together; which, honestly, works pretty well when you’re trying to break the ice 😄

By the end of the day, we weren’t just a room full of participants anymore. The group was starting to take shape 🌱

👉 Follow us, tomorrow we start looking at what actually happens behind a good activity!

And so it begins! 👀

We arrived in Jahodná, settled into our new home for the week, and slowly started meeting the people we’d be sharing this experience with! 🌿

The first day wasn’t about jumping straight into training. We had time to arrive, get comfortable, have our first conversations, and get to know the faces that would soon become our learning partners. 🤝

At this point, we didn’t know what the group dynamic would look like, what we would learn from each other, or how much would happen over the next few days.

But everyone has to start somewhere and this was our Day 1! 💛

👉 Follow us and spend the next seven days in Jahodná with us!

😌 One application? Risky.
Five applications? Now we’re doing strategy. 📩

Because apparently the solution to waiting for project results is… applying to even more projects. ✈️😭

At this point, we’re not checking our inbox, we’re manifesting acceptance emails! 👀

✏️ BACK TO SCHOOL! 📚

Summer is over, backpacks are back, alarms are ringing again… and it’s time to get back into the routine. 😭⏰

For our next Discord Language Café, we’re going Back to School! 🎒

Whether you’re currently studying or your school days are already behind you, there’s plenty to talk about:

🏫 What was your favorite subject?
😴 Were you the early student… or the one running in at the last second?
📖 What’s your best (or worst 👀) school memory?
👩‍🏫 Did you have a teacher you’ll never forget?
🌍 What is school like in your country?

Join us for a relaxed conversation, practice your English, compare school experiences from different countries, and maybe bring back a few memories you thought you had forgotten. 😄

And be honest… were you actually doing your homework? 👀
