It rains here in Helsinki. The sun has been shining for 10 days for me; a lot since I left Berlin, The Visionary Europe and most of all: the awesome participants and the team.

Some of us slept only a few hours because the night before we went to the disco and it was a great night!!!

WHY YOU DID IT? Fantasy in the morning: We did it because it was fun to build the cities we wish to live in with our own hands.

Today in the morning we did the presentations of each country of the participants and each team of each country had to choose four photos to show the difficulties that we have met in our countries relating them to the qualities circle examined the day before.

The exploration day would have been quite useless without a proper reflection done in the groups that the participants formed the day before.

WHY WE DID IT? By learning in groups, we could see the difference from each culture and how other countries may have better or worse services for people with low vision.

The first day of the programme was about getting to know each other, establishing the ground rules,outlining the programme for the week, putting down our fears, expectations and reasons to participate inthe workshop.
