"In order to develop as a leader we need to understand what Leadership actually is".

This morning, we had the chance to spend some time outside in the sun and snow, doing some team activities.

There was a round robin of 5 different activities, each led by a different member of the patrol, using assigned leadership styles. It was challenging to complete these tasks when the leadership style often did not match the needs of the group and instructions given for the activity.
Following this, we had an interesting discussion about the different leadership types, and how we felt in situations where these different types of leadership are used.                                               

One activity we did was sledding down the hill while picking up some colored cups stuck in the snow.

After lunch, we talked about what values are, prioritized our 5 most important values and then traded our values with other participants. For a lot of us, the environment was identified as a particularly important value, along with family, friendship, honesty and respect. 

Our final session for the afternoon was about what biodiversity is, and what things are putting it under threat.

Finally, it was time to celebrate the cultural diversity of the group, with international night!

The International Night was was an amazing chance to get to know each other better and learn about other cultures with costumes, games, songs, dances and food!

Today's water usage was down from yesterday's 110 to 95 litres per person! Well done!

Something that made us think from today that we'd like to share: "How come that we tend to judge others by their behaviour, and ourselves by our good intentions?" - Irish quotation
