The Pawsitive Parks project brings together people and pets in Thessaloniki to build stronger community bonds through shared activities and celebrations. As the Christmas event on December 6 approaches, preparations at the B Community Cultural Center of Thessaloniki's Municipality are in full swing. This post highlights the recent rehearsals and activities that showcase the project's commitment to fostering connection, creativity, and festive joy.

Morning Activities at the Cultural Center

On December 4, the day began with icebreaking games at 10:00 AM. These activities helped participants relax and get to know each other, creating a friendly atmosphere essential for teamwork. Icebreakers are especially effective in community projects like Pawsitive Parks, where collaboration between diverse groups is key.

At 11:00 AM, the group moved on to percussion rehearsals. The rhythmic practice not only sharpened musical skills but also encouraged synchronization and listening among participants. Percussion instruments are accessible and engaging, making them ideal for community events where everyone can join in.

By 12:00 PM, the focus shifted to dance choreography rehearsals. Dance adds a dynamic and visual element to the event, allowing participants to express themselves creatively. The choreography is designed to be inclusive, so people of all ages and abilities can take part, reinforcing the project's spirit of unity.

The morning session wrapped up at 1:00 PM, giving everyone a chance to rest and prepare for the evening activities.
