Grecia - In nature we trust - testimonianze attività locali

​“First of all, I should refer that I feel more creative and focus on my interests a month after the project. I spent a lot of time in nature during the Orthodox Easter week doing mindful things, such as the “fox walking”.  Of course, me and my friends discussed about my experiences in Villa Diana but we can’t manage to do any of the beautiful activities which we were doing there.​

Now, I’m at Chania, Crete. Until June I’m too busy with my studies but I spend my free time with my friends. So, I thought that it’s a good opportunity to try the device challenge. I explained to them the aim of this challenge five days ago and they agreed. We decided to do this every time we spend time at home all together. As you can see on the picture, there are some mobile phones on the floor. We always turn off the phones and leave them in this area until the end of our meeting. The challenge is going to last a month, so we have 25 days more.”  Marios

“I was in my hometown for Easter holidays in Greece (Volos is the name of the city ) so I met my friends and share my experience at Lecce. We also did some activities that they liked more such as the eye contact activity, the fox walk and the sniff of the dog. It was really nice and all of my friends got excited. The weather helped us a lot because it was sunny and we went on park at Volos.”

“We decided when we meet to leave the phones 'alone' and react to each other without any interruptions and we are going to do it for a long period because there is a better connection. The other thing is that I organized a game like that we did together, in which we were 'blind' and smell the flowers and after that we tried to figure out which plant was.
Of course I talked, and I am keep doing it, to inform friends and family about the wonderful week that i had spent with all these wonderful people and how great mindfulness is."   Konstantinos
