What are we doing?

A week to remember 🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧

19/09/2026

Today was our last day together at El Bosque de los Sueños, and it was certainly an emotional one!

We started the morning with some energizers and music to bring everyone together and start our final day with good energy. Then, the teams got back to work to put the finishing touches on their escape boxes, puzzles and games. After completing their designs, we took a short coffee break before finally putting all their work to the test!

It was time to try out the different puzzles and escape boxes created by the teams. We had a lot of fun solving the challenges, working together and discovering the ideas that each group had developed throughout the week. It was great to see how all the learning, creativity and teamwork from the previous days had come together in the final results. 🧩🤝

In the afternoon, we took some time for our final activities and farewell moments. We also organised the participants' return journeys and made sure everything was ready for everyone to travel home.

And just like that, an incredible week has come to an end. 🌍❤️

We are leaving with new knowledge, unforgettable experiences, great memories and, above all, idea for future projects, new friendships that go beyond borders. What started with a group of people from different countries has become a team that shared, learned, created and laughed together.

Thank you to everyone who made this week so special. See you next time! 👋✨

Discovering Ponferrada 

18/09/2026

Today, we left El Bosque de los Sueños for a day full of culture, exploration and new experiences in Ponferrada!

In the morning, we took the bus to Ponferrada and visited La Térmica Cultural, where we had the opportunity to discover the Chillida Museum, explore the greenhouse and enjoy an exciting virtual reality experience. It was a great opportunity to learn and experience culture in a different and interactive way.

After the visit, we enjoyed a relaxing walk alongside the river, taking in the surroundings as we made our way to the restaurant. There, we shared a delicious meal and had some time to relax and chat together. 🍽️

In the afternoon, participants had some free time to explore Ponferrada at their own pace. Some visited the impressive castle, while others went for a coffee, enjoyed an ice cream in the park or simply walked around and discovered different parts of the city. 🏰🍦☕

After returning to El Bosque de los Sueños and having dinner, it was time for another special evening: our German and Turkish Cultural Nights! 🇩🇪🇹🇷 Participants introduced us to their cultures, traditions and customs, giving us the chance to learn even more about the countries represented in our mobility.

And, of course, we couldn't finish the night without some dancing! 💃🕺 We ended the evening learning and enjoying traditional dances from different countries, bringing everyone together through music, movement and lots of fun.

Another unforgettable day of discovering, sharing and celebrating our diversity together! 🌍✨

From inclusion to the stars

17/09/2026

Today was another great day full of learning, creativity and new experiences at El Bosque de los Sueños!

We started the morning with an energetic activity led by our participant Tiago, who taught us some basic martial arts moves. After getting moving and warming up, we continued with some music to start the day with good energy.

Later, Henar led some interactive activities about gender, encouraging participants to reflect on gender roles and stereotypes. She also connected the topic with gender perspectives in video game design, exploring how the way characters, stories and roles are created can influence how we perceive gender.

We then continued our learning by talking about inclusion and exclusion, going deeper into these concepts and reflecting on how they can affect people in different situations. It was a chance to share ideas, experiences and different perspectives within our international group.

After lunch, it was time to get back to work! Participants continued developing the escape boxes, puzzles and games they had started designing the previous day. Little by little, their ideas are becoming more concrete, always keeping creativity, teamwork and accessibility in mind. 🧩🤝

And to finish such a great day, we had a very special evening experience. A group of astronomers came to El Bierzo to talk to us about the night sky and help us discover more about the stars and the universe above us. 🌌✨

Another day full of learning, sharing, creating and discovering new things together!

Learning, Creating and Sharing 

16/09/2026

Today was another busy and enriching day at El Bosque de los Sueños!

We started the morning with some fun energizers and music to wake up, get moving and start the day with positive energy. After the coffee break, Bea and José led a theoretical session on puzzle design, introducing participants to the different stages of the design process and highlighting the importance of accessibility and inclusion when creating puzzles and escape boxes.

After exploring some key concepts and ideas, participants got to work in their groups. They started with a brainstorming session, sharing ideas and beginning to imagine the design of their own escape boxes. It was the first step towards turning their ideas into creative and accessible challenges!

In the afternoon, participants had some free time to relax and explore the area. Some of them went to visit the nearby village and the lake, while others chose to stay at the cabins and take some time to rest.

In the evening, after dinner, we travelled through Europe without leaving El Bosque de los Sueños! We enjoyed our Romanian and Spanish Cultural Nights, where participants shared aspects of their cultures, traditions and customs. We also had the chance to taste some traditional food and snacks from both countries.

Another day full of learning, creativity, teamwork and intercultural exchange! 🌍🧩🤝

Our Mobility Begins: Inclusion, Teamwork and Escape Boxes  

15/09/2026

Yesterday, our participants from North Macedonia, Romania, Türkiye, Portugal and Spain arrived at El Bosque de los Sueños, in Cubillos del Sil, after long journeys. Although they arrived tired, they were also excited and looking forward to an amazing week full of learning, new experiences and intercultural encounters.

Today, we officially started our mobility!

During the morning, we took part in some getting-to-know-you and introductory activities, which helped participants feel more comfortable with each other and start building our international group. We also discovered the programme and schedule for the week and introduced the main topics of the mobility: inclusion and escape boxes.

In the afternoon, it was time to put teamwork into practice! Participants worked together to solve the mystery of their first escape box, discovering how these activities can be used as an engaging tool for learning and inclusion. While solving the challenges, they also took their first steps into the design and creation of their own escape boxes.

Throughout the day, participants also had the opportunity to discover El Bosque de los Sueños and its surroundings, a perfect setting for sharing, learning and working together.

And this is only the beginning! We are looking forward to the days ahead and to everything we will learn and experience together. 🌍🤝🔐
