“We
were once upon a time” Workshop
• The duration of the workshop
was two hours daily from five till seven in the afternoon
• Mrs. Cam Leece and Mr. Yorg Gruner were the trainers
for this workshop
This workshop was set up on the
first day of the camp because the previously planned workshops
could not accommodate all the participants. The trainers
were asked to plan a workshop that intertwines with the
subjects of the other workshops. The two trainers picked
the title for this workshop to give the participants an
idea about the workshop without having to provide details
about it. The trainers also wanted to trigger the participants’
imagination regarding the situation they are found in,
the time and place. The objective was to make the participants
find out through exercises and activities the best ways
of communication among each other and with the world that
surrounds them using body language.
The content of the workshop and
the related activities were difficult to understand which
led to the misunderstanding and miscommunication among
the participants and the trainers. The six members of
the group were not able to reach the goal of the workshop.
The group members attributed the causes of failure to
the fact that the workshop was prepared at the last minute
and the trainers did not prepare the content very well.
In spite of this the participants’ concentrated
on the physical activities that helped in understanding
ones psychological state in discovering the best way to
deal with each organ of the body. Even though there were
many activities the goals of the workshop remained vague
for the participants.
