after a great weekend the first working day also is wonderfull.
i love it when everybody is full of energy and working together.
the organ ized work of e2000 is great. i've taken many n otes of they way of working, specially from this day, frim the monday meetings, analysing the work, structurising it, fimding the ideas, developing them step my step, during this period in UK i've had so meny ideas for projects in Latvia, i don't know, iks it just changing the environment and looking at your ork from a different side or the inspiring atmosphere. but that is nice.
after all the meetings, i'm visiting Mike from Phoenix detached youth project. we ahd some really good conversations. in Latvia we don't have detached youth work, maybe there are some organizations who do this kind of practise, b ut not as a national system. so irt was in teresting to listen, and we shared best practise of working with young people, youth work develoopment, laws, different kind of social youth work systems, need of youth work.

it's amusing how long does it take to understand the cahnges and development the youth worker has given to young people. you c an see that just after a long period of time.

i remember when we had the m ikd-evaluation in the central station with Adam, i could not answe r the question "so, what have you learned during this time in England?" # and i think this is the same, now i can give some points about it, but only later, going back in latvia i'll have the possibiliy to use it, see, have i taken the information as muuch as possible. but i'm trying to get every peace of information, cach everything what's possible. an d i think it will many projects, and there are already more possibilities, and thery are getting m ore and more, i don't thin g they'll get less.

so now i'm really looking forwa rd meeting Mike again a nd have the chance to see how detached youth work really is.

after this productable day, i had a chillin in my hotel room reading history book, watc hing crap tv, writing down ideas and going to sleep early.
but as i understood, downstairs in the bar Britons were watching football, so i went to sleemp at 10 p.m., which still is early for me.
