Summary: Second Seminar

As I already told: last week I visited the second seminar of the Voluntary Social Year on Scheersberg (Germany) so here is a little summary of what we did there.

First we learned about different types of communication and about our skills in a working group, e.g. that there could be planners, makers, perfectionists and many more and which one we belong to. In a group mixed of those different skills we had to create a spaceship out of 12 straws, 2 shish skewers and one role of tape with an egg as passenger which shell survive a fall of 12 meters from the Scheersberg-Tower. Ours made it!

 
The other days we mostly worked in our workshops. In the theatre-workshop we first learned about walking on a stage without to collide with others, to impress emotion strongly and how to make a statue. Then everybody created a freeze frame of one of his dreams.

 

After this we built them to a row of following dreams and with the whole dream as model we wrote a story happens before the dream. It is about a girl which has trouble in school with some bullies and was threatened by the new life partner of her mother so it causes a mess of dreams. The pre-story we presented in a play and the dream scenes in a row of freeze frames.

The drawing workshop group presented an exhibition with lots of pictures they created in different ways. The have learned about perspective, shadow, effects of different colors and more. 

The writing workshop group held a reading of some short stories they wrote. They got interpersonal relations as a theme to write about. It was surprising what a variety of different stories they wrote all with the same main topic.

So you see how busy and creative we were.

All in all a wonderful seminar

Hard workin'

The new year started and there is a lot to do.
 

Last Wednesday there was a Skype-Conference on ONE BSR and the innovative and international platform "newsWave", a platform where bloggers will publish stories about their daily life in a region or a city around the Baltic Sea. Here you can see me very concentrated on understanding what is said (the connection was from time to time very bad):

Last Friday I also had a Skype-Conference but on our project of the voluntary social year. We collected facts and new information from each other and assigned new actions.

Now the project is planned for the 8 June 2013 at a park or a market square in Kiel (Germany). Some workshops and lectures will be held, e.g. a drum-circle, a guitar-lesson on basics, a lecture about historical instruments and many more.

The problem is to clear the date without assurance about the location. And without a save date we can't organize things like asking lecturers and so on (you understand the problem). So now we are waiting for the confirmation of the location and then we can organize even more quickly. 

By the way I keep up the website and writing my first Newsletter without help. (Subscribe!)

Next week the second seminar of my voluntary social year, organized by the LKJ, takes place on Scheersberg. There will be again some workshops to take part in. The workshops are: learning about literal writing, theatre practices and learning about basics of drawing.

 

More about it the next time
