Activities

                                                                     

  Although all of us supposed, what it will be about, it showed, that our expectations were very far from reality. Even we had very short time for regeneration and we were caught by a whirl of movement, singing, dance and emotions. These accompanied us each second on the festival in the reconstructed magdeburg barracks - through the 2. world war served as a lodging/house for Jewish children. This fact enhanced the idea of the festival, which was except to know the history of holocaust, evolution of tolerance between children from European and not European lands. One thing that help us to erase differences between us was that we spoke the same language (English).

Some activities were so interesting that we've been doing them till today. We're sure, that we'll remember this festival for the whole life. The aim of that was: "Learning, sharing, understanding through drama." And so it was that. But we must say, that sometimes there were too many activities we had to do and we were a little bit tired and the way the organizers showed and told us what to do wasn't correct we think, because it was too suggestive.
By some activities - workshops, theatre, games... - we felt unpleasant, but when we looked around and saw, that everyone does the same, this feeling disappeared. Many of us couldn't believe, that we are able to become so objective, to empathize to others, to express our feelings through movements or to vent our anger on a chair.
