Welcome Evening

---

Sunday afternoon…participants starting to arrive. Some has suffered long trips, the others were more lucky with just few hours trip. Meanwhile the prep team is busy with finalizing lists, welcoming kits, etc. After settling in the cozy rooms of the hostel to be a home for the upcoming week and registering, everyone gathers to travel to the center of a beautiful Turin. In a shortwhile arriving to the biggest LGBT night spot in the city - the Queever.

Participants are being welcomed by the prep team and local team members. A longest name game in the history of the name games starts. The trick was to not only remember the names of the fellow participants but to remember the sequence they were said as well following a string from each other (see the picture) ...Of course participants have dealt with the task with brilliance. Luckily the game got to the end and names were learned to enjoy a delicious buffet/aperitif offered by the Queever Club. With stomachs full and smiles upon the faces, everybody had finally got the time to mingle, to know each other better and to play some more icebreaking games. There were surprises as well..The Queveer has prepared a welcoming message running on the huge screens around the dance floor (that was so cool!) throughout the night. More than that, just after a Drag Queen show Giovanni (Arcigay) and Claire (IGLYO) have been invited to the stage to say a few words to the packed Queever club guests. Shortly after that, all gathered outside to travel back to hostel, there is a busy day ahead…
