Well well well, Easter (semana santa) gone and a lot of memories staying in my mind. All of them very valuable, but poc a poc i bona lleta com es diria a casa meva
One friend from Spain came to visit us in Slovenija, the reason, have holidays but also I tricked him, how? with a workshop, I told him that we will do a workshop in Slovenija in some youth center. But first we needed to create this workshop. At the end after some internets chats, and one meeting in Spain we got to organise a theater workshop were the point would be work in language barriers with youngsters.
At the end, was 2 hours and a half of workshop + 2 street performance, 1 performance created from youngsters and the other a clown performance, were 4 tourist clowns will perform about the importance to learn some languages.
But for us, the result, I mean, what will happen during the performance wasn't the most important. The most important, the most challenging, was connect a group of unknowns and help them to work together, speak only in our mother tongue and foster the understanding between people. And yes! We got that goals, the energy from the group after the workshop was amazing, everybody was connect in a different level, I can't explain by words, we were one.
After this experience with David we were in other world during the rest of the days, we felt full of bliss, unbelievable...
Then, after easter, once we visited Venice and appear in the newspaper of Sunday...
...was time to be focused in the next step, "We are Europe" Training course from MSOK (the people from my ex-organisation in Sl.Konjice ask me if I could be a trainer for this youngsters) and I had to prepare two workshops, one about Youth in Action and the other about job opportunities in other countries, the experience also was fantastic, a group of 22 youngsters come from different European countries, with a lot of energy, motivation and really smart brains, I had to give the best of myself.
Role playing, brainstorming, non formal education peer to peer, sitting on the floor, on the chair, on the table, sharing experiences, emotions, feelings, discussions, games, smiles, laugh, sleeping, boring, hard, dreams, future, group culture, mutual understanding, tolerance, citizens, values...
Yeah!
Hey guys everything it's about your actitude, don't give up!
