Wednesday 14/9

Today we had a 1-day workshop on the platform. We had invited around 20 young people from a nearby college to come and participate. The purpose of this kind of workshop is among other things to learn about and accept different cultures. The motto of the day was “Learn by doing” and to do that we had to make our own workshop. We were divided into four groups with a mix between people from Denmark and Nepal. Each group had to prepare a workshop based on a specific topic. The topic in my group was "volunteering for social changes" and we chose to work with child labor. In the beginning it was quite difficult to do group work because the people from Nepal had a completely different way of working than we are used to in Denmark. But the result turned out ok and in our workshop we performed a play with a problem, and afterwards the other group had to give suggestions to solve the problem. After each group had presented their workshop for one of the other groups, we were told to evaluate each other's workshops. Earlier today we learned how to give constructive critic and we got two different models, the burger and KAD, that we could use. The two workshops that a participated in was great and well structured. To fit in I wore a tunic that I bought here in Nepal, but all the nepali girls wore western clothes, so I ended up sticking out anyway. But all things considered it was a great and very learning day!
