Day 3: starting to plan the real concert
After tuning to the informal wave, participants have introduced others to their vision of cultural events in their home countries and were talking about local event organization specifics.
During this session participants could compare their personal cultural event organizing experience, find out about the possibilities for the local youth to organize and participate in different cultural events, and compare and understand differences between cultural events in their countries.
In the last session of the day participants have started their practical work on the upcoming project — a musical concert of a local group. All the participants were divided into the same groups they were in the previous day.
During this session the plan has started to appear and the questions have started to rise up. All teams and the project leaders have talked through the upcoming event and set up their vision about forthcoming work. All the work was done in the brain storming manner.
At the end of the day there was a discussion about the work done during the day. During this short session participants had a possibility to develop their ability to speak their ideas out loud and listen to constructive critics from others. In the end of the day whole team prepared a pre-plan for the work coming up in the next days.

Also this was another possibility to exchange contacts and experience with local experienced representatives working in the field of cultural event organization.
