So, now that we got some rest after the trip from yesterday, everyone is finally ready for our last day here. Some people had difficulties waking up in the morning, so we decided to wake them up with the help of a megaphone and a screaming Adam.

We started our day as usually with a breakfast and then had a workshop about Internet Addiction, held by Diana Stanculeanu, a psychologist from Save the Children Romania. At the end of the day in the feedback session we actually found out that the volunteers thought this was one of the most interesting and filled up with new and useful information workshop of the week.

But, before getting to the feedback session, maybe you are wondering why they thought so.

Well, during the discussion we learned how to recognize the symptoms of an addiction, especially computer addiction. Also we found out that we are surrounded by too many addicted people, who need help. These people put aside their real lives and forget almost completely about human interaction which is truly important for our fulfillment as a human individual. Thus, this is a very important issue nowadays that needs to be held under control.

Moving on, we had one hour to finish and hand over the complete state of our projects before lunch. Everyone was excited and nervous at the same time, not only because of the work that this project required but also because some of us had been asked to take part in interviews.

Following the lunch we took part in the last workshop of this beautiful Summer Camp. Partly sad because we are gradually approaching the end of this awesome week, and on the other hand happy because it’s the last one and we are pretty tired, we gathered in the room ready for it. It was a long but fun workshop. We talked about the Youth Panel and we made a comparison between the tools used in Romania and the other countries that took part in the Summer School. Also we summarized everything we have done during this past week and had a feedback session with Georgiana Rosculet.

The last but not the least was the awarding ceremony for the best project of the Camp. The three winning teams have been awarded with prizes and then, the night continued with the revealing of the Secret friend in a very relaxing atmosphere.

Finally, we went to the goodbye party and had a lot of fun. We are surely going to miss each other so much after spending so many special and beautiful moments together…
