The Gut Drauf programme in the IP centre in Bournemouth has been full of healthy highlights this week and it has featured plenty of enjoyable moments for students and members of staff alike.
To start with, last week we had an amazingly entertaining yoga session with Yani followed by a tea relaxation session, all this accompanied by a mysteriously soothing natural sounds released from our CD player. The students were also involved in a unique dream journey courtesy of Mareen, our wonderfully cheerful supervisor.
Then, this week we have had an energizing outdoor basketball session with Anett, which visibly fascinated some of the locals so much, that they took part in the competition. It was only the setting sun and the deficiency of light what prevented the students from playing until later.
The same happened with our soccer in the park session on Tuesday, which attracted some students from other language schools. The enthusiasm students showed about the game was astounding. As Carlo from Switzerland remarked after the game, we may all speak different languages but everyone speaks the language of sport. Once again we proved that sport is like Nokia – connecting people.
On Wednesday we had a relaxing natural beauty therapy workshop with Urenna. Students evidently enjoyed it a great deal and took loads of pictures. They had a lot of fun preparing beauty ointments out of exotic fruits like avocados and bananas and then slathering dollops of the balmy mixture onto their faces. After this amusing workshop many of them were up for some sleep in our gorgeous chill-out lounge.
The fantastic weather on Thursday allowed for a revitalizing beach volleyball and Frisbee session on the beach, followed by some peaceful basking and sand castle building on the sandy beach of sunny Bournemouth. As a result, our students can now boast with their healthy English tan when they go back home.
A recent innovation in the nutrition component of our Gut Drauf programme is the variety of fruits we offer. This week we tried offering students plums, peaches and vegetables and these seem to be a great success. They are gone moments after having being placed on the tables.
After a week of so many exciting activities and innovations we can definitely say that now we and our students feel hale and hearty and full of energy for the forthcoming weeks.
