Hello to everyone reading this! We’d really appreciate it if youtook some time out of your day to read about what we have experienced today in the youth meeting.
Most of us had a great first night in the institute, we we are all well rested and less tired than we were yesterday After we had breakfast at 8 we had a meeting, where we played multiple games to help us all to get to know each other better to make it less intense and more comfortable and welcoming to make everyone feel more at home.
We had lunch at 12:30 and then a break which people used to go to the supermarket and look around the area more.
After the break, we decided to drive to the Starnberger lake, on the way there we had to walk down some paths surrounded by tall trees and bushes, then after 10 minutes of walking we arrived at the lake and swam for a bit, it was sunny and the water was cold which made it even and nice.
We went back at 6pm in time for dinner, we had hawaiian toast for dinner which was new and strange to some of us, but it tasted good, after that we had spare time to catch up, relax, play frisbee and football.
Later we watched the documentary „iron wall“ which was new, shocking and important to the germans and very emotional and sad for the palestinians but everyone had time to discuss it in small groups because in one way or another the stories of both countries are connected somehow.
After that we all sang and everyone prayed in their ownlanguage then finally at 11pm everyone was free to do whatever they want.
Overall it was a nice, educational and exciting day full of new experiences and we are all looking forward to the upcoming days and whatever experiences and knowledge that they may hold
