On Monday I went to the first of four drama sessions in preparation for the Palestinian youth group visit. During the two hour session we played a variety of games including ice-breakers, clapping games and various other physical activities. We also took some time to reflect on the week we will be spending with the visitors from Palestine.
Sorcha - Our first drama session was very successful! The ice-breaker game allowed the group to get to know one another and find out why we all wanted to be part of the youth visit.
Oonagh - I enjoyed my first drama session with CADFA, I look forward to the others to come.
Lucy - We thought about the importance of the sessions and how we would benefit from them. We discussed what we would learn from people living such different lives to us and how they would learn from us, which I thought was very interesting.
Eloise - It was interesting to analyse our lives living in London and compare it to what their lives are like.
Saoirse - It was fun getting to know the group and to start thinking of the sessions ahead and what we'd get out of them. it was also very interesting hearing everybody's thoughts on what its like to live in the UK and discussing the comparisons between here and Palestine.
Emma - It was fun getting to know everyone that we would be working with the next coming weeks. The things we discussed brought things into perspective with just how privileged we are and in comparison with Palestine, from what I know, their life is very different to ours. It was great listening to what people hoped to get out of this experience and I look forward to working with everyone from here and Palestine.
