Dacă tot suntem la început de an, ne-am gândit să îmbogăţim echipa A.C.T.O.R cu voluntari noi, dornici de experienţe frumoase. Aşadar, am organizat un mic training de pregătire înainte de a intra în spitale, pentru a ne desfăşura activitatea de animatori clinici. Printre participanţi s-au numărat Alice, o tânăra licenţiată în psihologie, specializată în psihoterapie şi terapie prin artă, Teodora, o elevă în clasa a 11ª care îşi doreşte să valorifice timpul liber şi să ofere bucurie celor care au nevoie, dar şi Katharina, din Austria, noul voluntar SEV sosit în Bucureşti.

Timp de 2 ore, am prezentat activităţile pe care le dezvoltăm în cele 3 spitale partenere – Marie Currie (Budimex), Lacul Bucura, Grigore Alexandrescu şi am discutat despre aşteptări şi temeri, dar şi despre ceea ce poate oferi fiecare pentru buna funcţionare a acestui program.

Am abordat metode non formale de învăţare, precum jocul de roluri, încercând să le ofer viitoarelor voluntare un cadru cât mai real a conceptului de animator clinic în spitalele pentru copii. La final, le-am oferit materiale pentru studiul individual şi am rezervat un spaţiu pentru întrebări şi nelămuriri.

As we entered the new year, we thought of bringing more new volunteers in A.C.T.O.R.’s team, willing for  beautiful experiences. Therefore we organized a small preparatory training before going into the hospitals to hold our activity as clinical animators. Through the participants we could find Alice, a young philology graduate specialized on psicho-therapy and therapy through art, Teodora, an 11th grader who wishes to spend her free time bringing joy to those in need, and Katharina, from Austria, our new EVS volunteer , freshly arrived in Bucharest.

For 2 hours, we presented the activities we are going to develop in the 3 partner hospitals – Marie Curie (Budimex), Lacul Bucura, Grigore Alexandrescu and we discussed about expectations, fears and about what each one is willing to offer for the well being of this program.

We took on new non-formal learning methods like role-playing, trying to offer the future volunteers a realistic view of what a clinical animator’s job in children’s hospitals is like. In the end we offered them materials for individual study and we reserved a moment for questions and further explanations.

Knivsberg, Sonderborg , Denmark – is the place where was hosted for one week  the so called Mojn youth exchange. The people involved were from Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Germany and Romania. The project’s aim was to build up friendships between European youngsters, and also to breakdown the national and linguistic barriers.  Knivsberg is located in the south of Denmark, near Germany border and is the name of a German campus. For 2 days we have prepared for the final performances, each participant having the possibility to choose from these workshops:  global dance with Pako in charge, music with Boris, break-dance with Steve and circus with Sebastian. During this week, we made new friends, we had a lot of fun together and we also visit the surrounding cities, such as Aabenraa and Sonderborg. In addition, we had an intercultural evening, where everybody had the opportunity to present their own culture and traditions, each of them bringing some typical food from their country. We have tasted a little bit of halloumi cheese from Cyprus, some beer from Germany and smoked fish from Estonia.  We have learned how to dance, to sing and to play foreign games. We served our host with palinca and Romanian bread. And we taught them how to dance one of our traditional dances – perinita. The Romanian team showed enthusiasm and initiative during the whole week.

In perioada 29octombrie 2011 – 05 noiembrie 2011, 7 tineri din A.C.T.O.R. au participat  in Italia, la Chiavenna, la schimbul de tineret “L`arte Macchiato”. Proiectul s-a derulat cu sprijinul programului Tineret in Actiune din cadrul retelei europene Drums for Peace. Chiavenna este un oras micut, di n nordul Italiei cu un centru istoric extraordinar, inconjurat de Alpi la 125 de km de Milano si foarte aproape de granita cu Elvetia…Prima impresie pe care o ai atunci cand te vezi inconjurat de atata frumusete este una de nedescris. Cel putin o data in viata, acest oras trebuie vizitat. Ajungand la destinatie, in locul unde urma sa fim cazati in urmatoarele 7 zile, pe fiecare usa a camerelor de la etajul al doilea a Ostello del Deserto era un mesaj care avea sa ne prezinte in avans tema proiectului: ”The future you have, tomorrow, won’t be the same future you had, yesterday.” Chuck Palahniuk (« Viitorul pe care il ai maine, nu este acelasi viitor pe care il aveai ieri »)

Astfel tematica proiectului a fost “Viitorul” si pe durata proiectului, reprezentantii A.C.T.O.R impreuna cu reprezentantii ARCI Varieazioni din Italia, Norddjurs Ungdomsskole din Danemarca, Sliperiet din Suedia, GAIAC din Portugalia si Karksi-Nuia Noortekeskus din Estonia, au analizat, au discutat si au pregatit un spectacol prin metode non-formale despre viitor si despre ce implica acesta!

Toti participantii au avut de ales intre 4 Workshopuri: dans urban cu Pako, muzica/beatbox cu Llew, circ cu Diego  si teatru cu Alice.

Dupa 4 zile de repetitii, de jonglat, de dansat, de cantat, participantii acestui proiect au creat un spectacol ce a fost prezentat la inchisoarea San Vittore din Milano si la teatrul din Chiavenna.

Dupa munca asidua a urmat si rasplata: in fiecare seara toti participantii proiectului au luat parte la diverse evenimente ce au fost organizate de stafful italian: petrecerea de Halloween ce a avut si ea ca tema viitorul nostru si ceea ce dorim noi sa devenim in viata, plimbare in orasul Chiavenna, plimbare in orasul Milano si petreceri cu dans si distractie.

Participantii romani au participat plini de energie, entuziasm si initiativa la toate workshopurile care au avut loc si de asemenea la toate evenimentele ce au fost organizate. Toti s-au daruit trup si suflet in tot ceea ce au facut. Acestia au fost: Valeria Cristia, Stoian Mirela, Serbu Madalina, Enache Smaranda, Mihai Stefanita Barbu, Ciobanu Ionut, Anghel Teodora si Enache Horia.
