Today was the so called Imstland 101 day: we had the chance to meet the representatives of some local NGOs, to better understand what they do and with what ethical rules they operate (our greatest concerns were white savourism and the danger of the single story, which we discussed after watching the TEDTalk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie some days ago). In the mean time, those who wanted to visit the Red Cross facilities in Imst, left the school at 9 and met with their guide before experiencing the alpine coaster. At the end of the day, all the groups came together to discuss what we learned during the meetings and how they helped us planning our local initiatives, which we had prepared the last days.

Before that, though we hiked for roughly an hour to go to the alpine coaster, in which we had a lot of fun sliding down the mountain. When we got down, the participants who had to go to Innsbruck to meet the NGOs, took a train to the capital of Tirol and enjoyed the beautiful landscape of the Inn valley.

Since tomorrow, 30th of July, will be the last day, the facilitators organized us a beautiful, but sad workshop in the dining room: it consisted in 9 stations where we had to reflect about different aspects of our lives, to better assimilate the end of this amazing short course.
