Tuesday 8th September

Today things started to get serious.
    After a brief self introduction, we were divided in groups and asked to put into practice what we had learnt during the previous lessons back home.
    It was not as easy as we thought. Since we have absolutely no experience in this field, all we have to start it is a bunch of general information we got. It is now our task to use it combined with our own skills.
    The tournament we have to organize turned out to be for the refugees here in Leipzig. As we have been told by our tutor Paul, immigration is currently a big issue in Germany, especially in this area, where always more people keep looking for a safe place to live away from war and poverty. Because of that, we have a big responsibility for what concerns the success of this event.
    Fortunately, today work was just away to test our competence before starting the actual planning. When it was time to present our work to the other groups, we noticed that many things were missing and we realized how difficult it is to be a sport event planner.
