Wednesday 19th August
The nut picking continued the next day as the field was still full of hasslenuts, but since we had had a lot of rain, it make it really difficult to work on the slippery slope, but it was very satisfying to finish the work.
After lunch the Spanish delegation had prepared an interesting national activity, which brought up the problems of both curruption, immigration and the social problems following the economic crises which has shaken the country.
We especially talked a lot about the different movements and organisations which appeared after the crisis and which try to make political changes in the country.
After the discussion we were devided into groups and had to come up with new ideas for social movements that could help the situation in Spain.
We could then relax and look forward for a nice ddinner made by Georgian Natia ...
Then we had the Casinò Night, another role game organized by Libera to give people the chance to talk about one of the most herdest problem in Italy and all over the world: GAMBLING.
As the sun went down, some strange lights lit up on the terasse. Libera staff set up a CASINO night for us. The sound of the money shaking in the dealer's hands made our hearts beat faster as we dressed up.
Each of us was granted 300 chips, as if it could satisfy our hunger for happiness. Roulette, red dog and chuck'n luck were the instruments of our greed, and some of us turned into chickens, fighting in a cage, among the shouts of their fellow beasts.
To make our defeat taste sweeter, some french crepes were served between every manipulation of the bank.
The cries of polices siren stopped the money tranfusion and scattered the parasites as well as their victims.
Tuesday 18th August
For the first time since we arrived at the camp, we all did a piece of work together.
Time has come to pick the hasslenuts in the field close to Casina Caccia.
It was a hard work because of all the weed and the amount of trees we had to pick in the sun. However, it really makes you think about all the hasslenuts you have eaten in your life and the great work behind picking them. We filled up an entire barrel in only three hours!
After lunch the people of Libera has organized a "rolegame" called Grey Town - a game which Tex from Libera had invented himself!
In the game you had to construct your own city and decide whether to focus on eg. industry, wellfare, services or argriculture and try to gain money, or good or bad point.
In the beginning it was a really complicated game with a lot rules, but after some time it got really intense and we got to understand how to controle a community and interacting with other cityes, as well as how every action has consequenses.
The game lasted two hours but we could easily have played for many more.
After this intense day we had a nice dinner prepared by the two Portuguese girl, Ines and Adriana cinsisting of traditional food: Pork with fried pototoes and rice with a special sauce.
In the evening we had another national activity, which Natia from Georgia and Arthur from France had organized together.
We learned about the Georgian mafia and the current political problems in France.
The night ended with a game of "Mafia", where a city experience brutal killing by the Mafia each night and have to figure out who are part of the Mafia group. It was very fun and we spend many hours on this game, with a lot acusations and fun discussions.
