During these two days we (see pic from left: Isabell,August,Kristofer and me) have been participating in several minor courses, organized in Gothenburg by VFSN former trainees (Rebecka and Erik), to prepare ourself for our time in Nicaragua. The topic of the courses was:
- Info about Nicaragua (history, political, geographical etc)
- Group dynamics
- Renewable energy, ecological perspective and sustainable living
- Gender
- Expectations and apprehensions
Very well organized! Thank you soooo much Rebecka and Erik!!!
We had a lot of fun and are now feeling more secure and comfortable about our trip and the adventures laying ahead!
And congratulations Isabell and August, who was the superior winners of the game "Rappakalja", that we played during Monday evening at my place!
We will meet again in august, in Härnösand. There we'll attend SIDA's two weeks trainee education for Aid workers and also two weeks of (well needed)Spanish!
