We began with ice-breaking activities to get to know the other participants, creating a warm and collaborative atmosphere from the start. Each participant introduced themselves and their professional background. We were also introduced to the course structure and objectives.
The trainer shared useful tips for making the most of our time in Florence, including recommendations on local cuisine (such as lampredotto) and places of cultural interest. In the afternoon, we explored the city and visited iconic locations such as Giunti Odeon, Palazzo Strozzi, Clet's art studio, and some of the urban art by Blub.
This first day helped us connect with the local context and with each other.
