This time we discussed about festivities and holidays. We exchanged traditions and rituals in different parts of the world, from the Italian "Pasquetta" to the Ataturk Day in Turkey! Afterwards, the discussion led us to exchange tips about what to do in our free time - on the different holidays, for example - in Trento and Trentino. 

In this meeting we had the chance to exchange different tips and tricks on how to travel in Trentino. We discussed different means of transportation, how to get the student mobility card and how to use it, and finally some must-see places of the region!

Today the participants engaged in a thrilling scavenger hunt taking place in the digital sphere, where they got the chance to both learn a bit about Trentino and its history, geography and peculiarities, and to have fun in the meantime!
Afterwards, the participants discussed with the hosts about different possible activities to carry out in Trentino and gathered some advice to fully enjoy their stay here.

Today's topic was centered on Trentino and on all the amazing outdoor activities it offers. After a brief moment of icebreaking with an online game, we discussed of some amazing places in Trentino, from Lake Garda to Trauttmansdorff Castle. Here there is something for everyone: swimming, sunbathing, hiking, skiing, snowboarding and even paragliding for the bravest ones

The first meeting of the Winter semester could not have been better! More than 20 students connected and interacted with each other: firstly, through speed dating that worked both as an ice-breaker and platform to get to know each other, then with a very interesting discussion about our countries: we got to learn about eating habits in Thailand, the weather in India and what to do in Trento! The coutries represented were: Finland, Germany, India, Mexico, Thailand, Ukraine, Vietnam, Russia.

We talked about some of our favourite hobbies, from music (with an unexpected Ukulele stand-off) to books and outdoor activities! We shared information about fears, hopes, expectations, academic field of interest, town, favourite places and much more!

First, a little game was played to let the participants loosen up and enter in the mood. Afterwards, we began a discussion about the most typical street foods from the different countries the participants were from. Finally, some advice was given to the participants regarding the street food that can be found in Trento - from mulled wine to chestnuts! 
This meeting was organized to celebrate the #Erasmusdays

After enjoying the video about Trentino and the Dolomites and some highlights about UniTrento and some online initiatives (tutorials on some administrative aspects, language courses, funny videos on the most common stereotypes about Italians, Course on Italian Culture, and some hints for unforgettable weekends, we had some funny speed dates so as to better know each other. After the ice was broken, you answered two quizzes about Italy and general culture and you did very well indeed! 3 of you won some prizes. If you want to be contacted by your peers for a tennis match or just for a real aperitif, do not forget to add your profile on our padlet !

This time the chosen topic of discussion was cinema and films. After a very quick game of Pictionary to break the ice, we moved on to the discussion. Following a number of questions, such as "what was your childhood favourite film?" or "what is the last movie you saw", we participated in a lively discussion about different aspects of cinema.
Finally, the participants received some information about the calendar of events and movies (also in the original language) performed at the cinemas in Trento and in Rovereto.
