What happened in Turbas

                                             
It is Monday and we all have returned back home to our comfy home slippers and robes. 
Some of us are writing for their bachelro's degree and some are doing their 
latest school tests though it was only a day ago when both - Latvians and Estonians - 
came back from the third meeting that took place in Ogre.

In this meeting mostly emphasized was the sponsor attracting. Differend proffesionals
 were informing about searching of the supporters, speaking with them and also 
keeping in place. Various things were discussed like what we should ask from the 
potencial sponsors and what to give back when planing a long term collaboration.
Our trainer Raivo Kreicbergs told many useful things not only from the theoritical 
side but also from the practical - the offer and the catch of the Instrumenti 
sponsors as well as the plan of the Women rally sponsors' events were shown. 
It was followed by youngsters working in their delegations, 
choosing three main sponsors to be contacted for their festival and 
deciding what to ask for and what to offer back.

On Saturday a trainer whose job was connected with the management of the largest 
Latvian beerfest. Things about communication were taught, like who we should 
connect, which of all social media companies would be worth to connect with; 
whether we wold need the national television or not for the advertizing of the 
festival; how many days before the fest the internet portals should be informed; 
why the press conferences should be made. 
Many other details were also told that made the youngsters to realize that there 
are many more the forgotten things that no one hat thought of before and that 
still have to be organized.

Despite the days being packed with the new an integraton between Latvians and 
Estonians was not forgotten in the evenings. Youngsters sang songs, went to sauna 
and all three days were spent already in expectations of the next and the last 
meeting in Estonia. We are still going to meet in between those trainings and 
continue to practically organize the festival, discuss, search for different 
resources and just catch the feeling of craziness.

The festival in Estonia takes place from 10th to 11th of August but in Latvia 
it is from 31st of August to the 1st of September
 
See you!
