On Saturday the 17th of May we have participated in the outdoor game in Bielsko-Biała. Together with the university employees form abroad we arrived in the market place and met the coordinator who divided us into three groups and then – set out to play, compete and have fun. Every group had to go through the city and meet mysterious Silesian characters who gave us tasks to perform. We had to tell a story, use Morse’ alphabet and decode three difficult codes. While doing this we could also talk with Heksa or Bebok, which doesn’t happen every day 😉 It turned out that in spite of cool weather and rain the international groups of USil employees can solve every task and have a lot of fun while doing it! After the game we exchanged our experiences and shared stories over a dinner.

We want to thank Exploring Events for a great, well-planned outdoor game. Our integration meeting in Bielsko was the last integration meeting organized as a part of the Welcome2US project financed by the National Agency of Academic Exchange, but surely not our last one trip together.
