The Seminar which launched late in April in the Germany where two representatives from participating countries like Malawi, Uganda, Germany, Israel, Bosnia, Ukraine, Tunisia and South Africa were present. Lydia and Jacky will leaved on 24th June for B1 one Seminar in South Africa to highlight the theme Cultural Diversity.
Get to know the place,
when the trainees arrived In Johannesburg they were taken to tour several place
across South Africa. The first trip they toured in Pretoria where in places
like; Freedom Park and Mandela park at these park’s they were getting exposed
to the into the history of South Africa. They also learn Zulu cultural believes
where they were taken to cradle of humankind right there in Pretoria. The next
tour was of Johannesburg and Soweto, where at Johannesburg they visited Museum
and go through some dance move lessons. Then at Soweto they go to see Mandela
House and Soweto school where hundreds of students were killed during 90s state
of emergency.
That was all for the
touring and on the second week, the seminar activities begun, the first
activity was Team building workshop by Shirra from Israel. Shirra continues
with other two presentations like creative thinking and problem solving. Her
last presentation was Feedback workshop. A Germany Coordinator Mike, kirk start
with a presentation on Communication and the walk of Privilege.
Before a presentation by
Lydia and Jack, there was a presentation workshop by International Coordinator,
Collina. The presentation was called Theatre of Oppressed the workshop was clearly
connected to the theatre piece which Lydia and Jack perform. The performance
was great and touching as the Solomonic youngster delivers strong message on
issues of Xenophobia, Racism and Albino killing. The contemporary theatre piece
has been adopted to be one of the key element of implementing the whole project.
The next phase of the
seminar was developing project of which three project were identified. Malawi,
South Africa, Uganda, German and Israel are in a project of climate change.
Whistle the other will have deal with Post-Pregedes and Environmental Action. Before
