Written by Ana Farelo, AMC Youth Worker Report by Niki Avgitidou "Between October 4th and 8th, I had the opportunity to participate in the XV International Tool Fair. This year, this event was promoted by the Portuguese National Agency Juventude em Ação, in collaboration with the Municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia. During the 5 days of this activity we were 120 participants from more than 60 nationalities, representing organizations, schools, Erasmus+ national agencies and SALTO agencies. The activities were divided between workshops about interesting tools, lectures, study visits and a Tool Market, all with different goals and topics meant to be used while working with young people. Each of us had the possibility to create our own agenda with the various events and attend different workshops, trying different tools. From Mais Cidadania we were 2 representatives invited to present our work through a workshop, me as a representative of the work in the area of citizenship, with the Tool Kit Geração Global, and Eduardo as a representative of the area of social intervention and the project +Skillz/Ocupa-te Mais. It was an incredible, fun experience fo us, while, the participants who joined us, got to know a little better our work and the materials we have been developing. I must also point out the more relaxed moments, where we made contacts and even friends, and, not to mention the activities promoted by the national agency and the Gaia City Hall, like a dinner at the Serra do Pilar Monastery, with several animations and shows, where we had to dress as monks to get in. In short, it was a week of much learning, sharing, and fun!"
