<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Day 7 began differently in comparison to the other days - the children were allowed to sleep in, and the morning gymnastics slot was empty. The night before was spent with the friends and tutors by the campfire. The morning looked like a childhood's dream, but the sense of the inevitably and rapidly approaching farewell was in the air.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The morning activities were as exciting as ever and brought smiles to the children's faces. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the last time at the camp, the children discussed the meaning of tolerance and what new values this word has brought to them. It was good to see that the Camp Tree had blossomed, the Word Lane had built up long across the hall, and the envelopes on the Friendship Line had grown thick with letters full of kind words and best wishes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The kids shared words of love and kindness by playing the <i>compliments</i> game - writing short messages to each other on a sheet of paper taped on their back. Later on the kids had to guess which sheet belongs to whom. Slightly confused, yet satisfied, the children read the wishes and compliments of their friends - all were pleased and happy!</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The evening of Day 6 was all about teamwork: three team games gave the campers an opportunity to demonstrate their teamwork skills and see what makes a successful team.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the game "Stranded on a Deserted Island", the campers had to choose their team members, decide on just a few things that they could take with them from the "crashed plane" and think of a plan of actions to survive. The campers had to show not only lots of knowledge necessary for survival, but also good communication skills, patience, respect and care for their team members.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then, the campers had a creative team task to build a <em>Tolerance Tower</em>. The teams could only use newspapers and sticky tape. The children were encouraged to build their tower as tall as possible. The teams proved to be highly creative and very competitive. They each chose a different strategy of making the constructions and showed that - as a team - they can really achieve impressive results.</span></div>

The last game was probably the most appreciated by the campers :) "A Wet Towel" team game was played by the lake. Speed, cooperation and comitment won!<br />
<br />
<div>
So sorry that the camp is ending! But the campers have made so many great friends and they are going to take such fond memories home!</div>

The children feel sad - tomorrow they will have to say goodbye to their new friends, but the fun does not stop and they are still learning new things.<br />
<br />
In the morning, the children focused on the international organiztations - EU, NATO, UNESCO, Red Cross and UNICEF - learning about their aims, principles of work and a variety of activities. Acting as members of the organization, they designed posters which showed how they understood the mission of the organizations.<br />

In the afternoon, the children had guests at the camp. First, they met with the USG alumnus Andrew Mikšys, a photographer, who introduced them to the art of photography. Andrew shared his experience and his motivation to become a photographer and demonstrated his impressive works of Romani people. The children were very interested in Andrew's life and profession, and the guest himself was enthusiastic about answering all the children's questions. The kids learnt how important tolerance is in Andrew's work as people do not always react positively to a camera directed at them. To make a good picture of a person, a photographer has to be deeply sensitive, understanding and respectful.</div>

Then, the kids were invited to learn more about the communication skills in the work of journalists. The USG alumni Živilė Kropaitė and Vaidas Saldžiūnas, radio and print journalists, shared their professional experience and taught the campers how to begin, keep up, control and end a conversation politely. The children were presented with the opportunity to be journalists "on the street" and interview people about what tolerance is and how they see tolerance in their society.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Day 5 is here! The sun is playing on the water of the Lake Suvingis promising another challenging hot day; however, the campers are proving to be resilient to the heat and are actively participating in all the offered activities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the morning session, the children were introduced to the concepts of <em>Right </em>and <em>Responsibility. </em>Through discussion they clarified the meaning of the words and considered what rights and responsibilities they have at the Camp. They also talked about the human rights and responsibilities in general and came up with two posters summing up their ideas. Thy then acted out situations in which people with mental and physical disabilities are involved, which encouraged their awareness of the limits that disabled people have and made them think about their responsibility to help.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the afternoon session, the children enjoyed the company of the US Government programme alumna Danguolė Kiznienė. Danguolė shared her experience of studying in the USA and spoke to the children about democracy, equality and tolerance. She also told the kids the story of Martin Luther King.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The children were invited to think about what dreams people may have and what they themselves dream of. The children shared their dreams and opinions about what people have to do in order to reach their dreams. The truth is that just waiting for the dream to come true is not enough, and a person has to put a lot of effort into fulfilling his or her dream. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Martin Luther King was an inspiration to the people of his time, and he also inspired the children today. An impressive and emotional part of the session was when the children delivered their own speeches about their dreams and how they wish they could change the environment and life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f33; line-height: 20px;">The evening session was dedicated to the themes of bullying and intolerance in schools. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f33; line-height: 20px;">The children watched two videos showing that people sometimes treat each other badly and they discussed what would be the proper response in each situation. It is impossible to stay indifferent seeing how children feel after suffering from bullying and what its actual horrible effects can be. </span></span></div>

Tis afternoon we had a very emotional moment - Ignas, one of our tutor assistants and volunteers, had to leave the camp due to personal reasons, and we were very sorry to see him go. We wished Ignas good luck and promised to keep in touch to let him know how things would go at the camp. Bye-bye, Ignas, we'll miss you :) </div>

In the afternoon, we went to Merkinė. Merkinė is located on four rivers - Merkys, Nemunas, Strauja and Stangė. We could admire the breathtaking views from the observation tower (25 meters high!) overlooking the junctions of the rivers. Merkinė is famous not only for its spectacular nature, it is also an important historical place. We participated in the photo treasure hunt, and by taking pictures of the "treasures" we learnt some important facts of the history of Lithuania.</div>

Time really flies at Dvarčėnų dvaras! The children are having a good time, and this morning began with the traditional morning gymnastics, and Ignas and Thomas showed the children some interesting energizing games and even taught them a bit of Spanish, believe it or not!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #292f33; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">We began our morning session with discussing our Camp Tree! </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">We found a number of questions which we could answer and make our tree look rich</span><em style="font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; line-height: 20px;">er and more colourful. Then, the kids focused on the topic of the day - "Our Planet: we love nature" - and came up with new questions which will hopefully be answered soon! Some of the questions are quite humorous, and it's good to see the children are in high spirits.</em></span></span><br />

So, the morning session was dedicated to our planet - recycling, reusing resources, preserving nature and sorting out waste.<br />
The children were taught some new vocabulary related to these topics, they watched videos about pollution and its effects, and, afterwards, they had a task to sort out the rubish. The children were very focused and learnt what pollutes nature most, what people and each of them, even being a kid, can do to protect nature, and what a great value is a clean environment.<br />

Now we're going for the morning "swimming session" and then - off to Merkinė on a tour!ToleranceCamp2015LThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04907740853044903589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568728478461308637.post-80775554509091368932015-08-04T14:14:00.002-07:002015-08-14T08:14:23.586-07:00Day 3 (2) - True volunteers.<br />
The session began with a talk about the lonely elderly woman whom the guest Jelena told about to the kids. The kids volunteered to write letters to that person in the hope that she would feel happier knowing that there are people who care and wish her all the best.<br />
Then, the kids set to make loombands for the camp's staff. They made really beautiful wristbands so that the people taking care of them would feel appreciated and receive love in return. While they were making these gifts, they could also watch a film about friendship and adventure called "A Bridge to Terabithia."<br />

This has been a long but very interesting day, and the children have learned a lot!<br />

The morning gymnastics was fun, and our volunteers Ignas and Thomas helped everyone wake up in a really effective way.<br />

Today the kids were invited to focus on the community values, such as friendship, trust, honesty, care. The morning session consisted of several activities, which were all new to the campers, who admitted never having done them before. First, we summed up the last two days' new vocabulary and wrote the newly learned words on our Camp Word Lane!<br />

Some other activities encouraged the kids to learn proverbs about friends and friendship and to discuss what good and bad friends are.<br />

Afterwards, the children had an activity in which they had to use their imagination to guess from the sound what the given video was about. The children made different guesses which you can see in the pictures below! It's wonderful when you think about how inventive and original the kids are and what great stories they can come up with. The video was actually about tolerance and friendship, and the surprize did its "work" - tolerance and friendship naturally became the key topic of the day.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">In the afternoon session, the kids met our USG alumna guest Jelena Grigorjeva, who told us a lot about volunteering. The kids first tried to explain what<em style="font-style: normal;"> volunteering is in their own words, they shared their volunteer experience and tried to think of the benefits of volunteering and the feelings that volunteers have and create in the hearts of others.</em></span></div>
<div style="color: #292f33; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<em style="background-color: white; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, the children had a very interesting practical activity - they were offered the chance to try out the Japanese traditional paper-folding activity - origami. The campers, under the supervision and guidance of our wonderful guest, made origami for the people in a real hospital in Lithuania, and in this way became REAL VOLUNTEERS! </span></em></div>

After everyone had a delicious breakfast, we wrote our wishes, aims and questions regarding this day on small cut-out leaf-form pieces of paper and attached them to our camp tree. Thus, our tree is slowly growing and getting more and more beautiful.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiccJ-q44AsNTy4jo-LnsIYo-3ifJj6KG0AoAqlOTQs8VHUZvkeQLvGBLCNJvd2dicx_hoEDjWEbwZkpbej0lIa3qPcBrf44lUVG1R27s60ZY-U4V6v6qb5TTZly2OuFRaCc11yD0iogOKz/s1600/SAM_6401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiccJ-q44AsNTy4jo-LnsIYo-3ifJj6KG0AoAqlOTQs8VHUZvkeQLvGBLCNJvd2dicx_hoEDjWEbwZkpbej0lIa3qPcBrf44lUVG1R27s60ZY-U4V6v6qb5TTZly2OuFRaCc11yD0iogOKz/s200/SAM_6401.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdX9US_DwtNG6S2LrSZBbbncgGNf7PtG1WEp7bOExNMzHrTpuGuz_HqnDVeHGndb-12u08EzOq3OxUh-8nbHzSPYAS24xG_qSOgbdA6xXVkCzaxVXABOujbHyaScmBTsZPmL7MlaRLXEd7/s1600/SAM_6404.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdX9US_DwtNG6S2LrSZBbbncgGNf7PtG1WEp7bOExNMzHrTpuGuz_HqnDVeHGndb-12u08EzOq3OxUh-8nbHzSPYAS24xG_qSOgbdA6xXVkCzaxVXABOujbHyaScmBTsZPmL7MlaRLXEd7/s200/SAM_6404.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />

The theme of the day was "Our World: countries, languages, traditions." The campers compiled quizes on their own country for their friends from other countries. By taking part in three quizes, the campers learnt important and intereting facts about each other's homeland: flags, national symbols, most popular sports, longest rivers and highest mounts, typical dishes and favourite festivals. The campers had a good opportunity not only to learn about the Baltic States, but also to experience how good it feels to let others know what makes them proud of their own country.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, we had a lot of fun in the lake. The campers were swimming under the tutor Miks' and the volunteers Ignas and Thomas' supervision. Ilya and Janeks had a diving splash competition, while the Latvian girls were giving marks to their splashes. We spent about an hour in the water, and the children have grown fond of their tutors and will most probably want to have fun with them later too.<br />

Now the afternoon session is coming to an end, and our USG alumnus guest Vytis Silius is finishing his presentation on the countries and languages of the world. The children studied the language map and could see what variety of languages people speak in different countries. They learnt what languages are similar and what languages are very different, what makes a language live and why languages die. Most importantly, they learnt that however different the languages are, people can communicate by using one language -- the language of their hearts.</div>

Camp Rules.<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On August 2, 2015, six teams of campers and their tutors arrived at the Baltic States "Teaching Tolerance Through English" Camp 2015 Lithuania. The Latvians spent six hours and the Estonians - some twelve hours on the road. The camp at Dvarčėnų Dvaras, Alytus region, is really beautiful, and we feel that the long journey was definitely worth it.</span></div>

The campers wrote sentences about themselves in the shape of the first letter of their names and they gave adjectives to themselves beginning with the same letter as their names. We still remember Intelligent Ilja, Random Ron, Realistic Rasmus, Just Janeks and many others.<br />
At the camp, the campers opened their own "Post Office" with a Friendship Line of beautifully decorated envelopes in the hope that they will grow thick with heartfelt messages from friends by the end of the camp. You can see how this looks like in the pictures.<br />

Then, the tutors introduced some other activities necessary for the camp life to be organized, so together -- the children and the tutors -- made up and wrote on the roll paper the camp rules which we will all have to follow.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Dear colleagues and participants of the Tolerance Camp 2015 in Dvarčėnai Lithuania.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am <b>Rasa Midverienė</b>, a teacher from Turgeliai Aistuvos Gymnasium. I and my five students <b>Ieva, Marija, Anastasija, Laura</b> and <b>Deivid</b> are looking forward to meeting you all - tutors and new friends - at the camp. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our Gymnasium is located in the Turgeliai village, Šalčininkai district, 30 kilometres from Vilnius. It is a small and cosy school with 187 students and 24 teachers. </span><br />

Our Gymnasium's name is <b>Aistuva. </b><span lang="LT" style="line-height: 115%;">This is an ancient Lithuanian word which was used in the sources about the ancient Baltic religion. The word has a very nice meaning - Aistuva is a<i> huge country where you can
walk nine times in three days and nights through the evergreen forests and will
not reach the edge. Here you can find rippled lakes and thoughtful rivers, green fields and glowing cereals,
looming mounds and hospitable castles. Move closer, knock on the door, do not
be afraid, you will be accepted with joy. This land does not know bad people.</i></span></span><br />

It is located in one of Riga’s districts called Ziepniekkalns. The school
premises include two four-storey buildings, a swimming pool, a guest house and
two playgrounds with a football pitch. There are about 1070 students in our

N95 anticipate spending time at the Tolerance camp in Lithuania. They like
travelling and visiting new places. The teens have already found “Dvarčėnų
dvaras” on the Internet, and now they are dreaming about going to this lovely
place. 3 girls and 2 boys want to make new friends among their peers from
Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, to participate in team games and to talk in
English about their daily adventures at the camp. Their names are Anna, Alīna,
Darja, Karens and Maikls. <b>Anna</b> and <b>Darja</b> are fond of drawing and acting on
stage. <b>Alīna</b> has already
participated in several youth Maths competitions and achieved good results. <b>Karens</b> is an active football player. He
usually discusses sport themes with his father in Armenian. <b>Maikls</b> enjoys swimming very much and he
is good at handicraft, e.g., making loom bands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hello, dear friends and language enthusiasts,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am Miks, teacher of English from Jelgava region Šķibe primary
school. It is located ca. 20 km from my hometown Jelgava and some 65 km from
Riga, the capital of Latvia. We are a small school of about 200 students from grades
1 to 9, but we are very competetive, creative and fun. Although we are a very
small school, we are 125 years old, which makes us one of the oldest and
richest with traditions schools in the region. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Elva Gümnaasium</b> is located in the south of Estonia, in a small town named Elva. There are 773 students from 1st to 12th grade and also pre-school. Elva prides itself on wonderful nature, even our school motto says: <b>"Elvas on lood(t)ust!" / "In Elva there is nature/hope!" </b>Our school logo is a green pine tree, which symbolises growth, aspiration, strength and love for nature, it can't be more fitting, since there are lots of pine trees in Elva!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our students love sport, nature, music, arts and languages. The atmosphere in the school is warm, welcoming and supportive. We love taking part in projects, olympiades, competitions and meeting new friends. As a teacher, I value supportive class which works as a team to accomplish their dreams and helps each other whenever there is a struggle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5 students from Elva, who are already extremely excited to meet up with others in Lithuania, are sixth-graders, 3 girls and 2 boys. <b>Hanna</b> likes languages and sports, she's very good at tennis and track sports. <b>Janely</b> has wonderful eye for design, she's also good at singing and sports. <b>Kadi-Liis</b> devotes herself to sport, often representing our school in various competitions, she also likes languages, animals and music. <b>Rasmus</b> can draw funny comics, he's good at biking and trampolene jumps. And last, but not least - <b>Ron</b> is good at languages, but spends most of his time performing daredevil bmx stunts.</div>

The Public Affairs Officer <strong>Sarah Talalay</strong> (US Embassy Lithuania) and LAKMA president <strong>Eglė Petronienė</strong> welcomed the future camp tutors and expressed their appreciation of teacher and student enthusiasm and willingness to participate in such a project. The Educational Affairs Specialist <strong>Rasa Baukuvienė</strong>, the Alumni Coordinator <strong>Inga Sidrys</strong> and the Resource Center Director <strong>Aleksandras Balčiūnas</strong> introduced the workshop participants to the mission goals and objectives of the project and provided a training session on social media. The USG program alumni <strong>Živilė</strong> <strong>Kropaitė</strong> (LRT radio journalist and advisor on Social Media and New Technologies),<strong> Danguolė Kiznienė</strong> (President of US-LT Alumni Association; Partnerships and Projects Manager, British Council) and <strong>Jelena Grigorjeva</strong> (English teacher at Vilnius V. Kachialov Gymnasium) shared their expertise and knowledge which they gained in the United States being enrolled on different educational programs. The alumni will join the students at the Camp as counselors promoting the key values of the American society – multiculturalism, diversity, and tolerance. Together with the tutors and volunteers, they will engage the young people in activities which encourage global thinking and a positive approach to diversity.</div>

During the two days, under the supervision of LAKMA Board member and teacher trainer <strong>Nida Burneikaitė</strong>, the workshop participants developed the conceptual framework for the camp program and compiled a bank of activities to be offered to the students in August. The tutors shared their ideas and best practices of teaching teenagers and discussed what educational resources would be appropriate to meet the purposes of the Camp. The work on the program continues online as the tutors and assistants finalize the daily schedules and elaborate the educational scenarios for the week in August. The 30 teenage students from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania should get prepared for their best camp experience ever!</div>
