Day 3, Latvian Song and Dance Festival

The book with tasks
One of the task
On the third day of project we all were separated in groups and we had some tasks we needed to do. Most of the tasks were connected to Latvian Song and Dance Festival, for example, to take crazy picture with someone dressed in Latvian traditional folk costume. There was at least one person from Latvia in each group so in that way we managed to teach participants one of our traditional folk song “Bēdu manu lielu bēdu”. We also went to watch a parade that took part through Riga, starting from Smilšu iela to theater “Daile”. Participants were surprised that in such a small country as Latvia we have so many people.

Latvian language lesson
Later that day we organised a Latvian language lesson and we teached people some common phrases in Latvian. Then they were supposed to compose small sketch in Latvian about daily situations. In the evening we went to “Esplanāde” to watch the end of the Festival. Participants were interested in what do people sang about and they liked our patriotism.
