During the 8 day training, followed the idea that after the "Getting to Know each other" phase, being acknowledged with the project and the environment, the participants had 2 and a half days of theoretical sessions held by two trainers. Following was the practical part of the training, which implied the process of developing tools for "Educational processes in the outdoors" that were later used in the activities within a summer camp in the area. 35 adolescents took part in the summer camp and these adolescents took part in 10 sessions delivered by 10 different facilitator teams during 3 days. The last day was completely dedicated to future project planning and evaluation. In between all of these the 32 youth workers had five practical sessions of experiencing outdoor activities themselves, mainly focusing on developing team spirit on ropes. Some cultural events were also done, where participants could further discover the culture and the reality of other communities. This was done through cultural nights among participants and the adolescents, visits to touristic areas around Baile Tusnad and free nights where various games and board games were played.
