A RIS activity, other than the parties, which you will be able to enjoy frequently is the mentor dinner. Every month you can meet with your mentor group and have dinner together at one of your places. This time one of your mentors will invite you at his or her place and will prepare a meal for you and your mentor group. The costs of the mentor dinners are not included in the price of the orientation week.
DAY FOUR, BOWLING NIGHT, 28 January 2011
6 - 9.30 p.m.: Mentor dinner
For this mentor dinner of the orientation week we would like you to prepare a special dish from your country for your group and especially, given their efforts, for your mentors. During the rest of the year mentor dinners will be organised at least once a month. The idea is that every time a couple of members of a group set it up and invite the others at their place. This can be continued as long as the group is motivated.
10 -12 p.m.: Bowling
@ Bowling Center Olround, Heyendaalseweg 90
