Mindfulness Blended Mobility in Italy
November 20, 2018Mindfulness Day 2 in Siatista, Greece
March 23, 2019Our first local workshop on Mindfulness took place on Saturday 19th of January 2019 at the Event Hall of the Public Library of Siatista, Greece. There were 4 Initiates: Maria Stefanidou, Markos Chionos, Dimitris Mpatsis and Thomas Tomopoulos, as well as 13 young participants.
The arrivals were at 11.30 in the morning and once all the participants gathered in a circle, the Initiates started with a small introduction to our “GO Alive” project as well to our Informal Group of Young People. Later on, we proceeded to some team building activities:
- “name and an adjective”, to get familiar with everyone’s name
- “how did I find out about the activity and why did I come?” to know better participant’s motivations
- “Speed dating” in order to start getting to know each other more
- “pass the bunny” as an ice-breaker
- “human chain” as an ice-breaker, problem-solving game in order to bond the team
