Generally, it’s “the others”, the foreigners, those we don’t know and don’t want to get to know. I remember a text about “foreignness”, its final (ironic) sentence is: “Being a foreigner is a crime which cannot be compensated anymore”. This sentence may be absolutely agreed with, if the matter is rest with foreignness, if not even xenophobia. Those two weeks of “meeting of minds” showed me a lot, in other words, proved that black is white and that being foreign, being strange, in whatever way, must never be seen as “a crime”. In those two weeks we got to know each other, conducted conversations, were shocked, cried and laughed with each other and finally uncovered: “We are not part of the problem, but part of the solution!” Well organized workshops helped us uncovering this: Through games which made us discuss for finding corporate solutions. Through background information and intense examination of the history and policy of Israel and Palestine. Through the theatre of the oppressed that made particular feelings for one’s opposition obvious. Through trips to Vienna, the Neusiedler See (lake) and other experiences which connect each other. We got to know insights into other cultures, every day situations and traditional cuisines. Comprehension questions moved us to question already posed questions, experiences and muddle to saddle the horse from the back. Pictures which moved us from our secure campsite into frightening scenes to Israel/ Palestine. The way to the army in one or more months. Together, way above the Austrian, Hungarian, Israeli and Palestine borders – for 14 days – living together with others and experiencing things with others and about others… All those workshops, corporate experiences and especially the will and wish to unite different nationalities, point of views and personalities in such an extraordinary camp helped us to recognise that we have made a big step towards the solution…however solution is defined.<br />Much more could be written about those fourteen wonderful days. But it is sure that it will be much more interesting to read the participants’ experiences in the blog.</span><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="DE"> </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069084568630650052.post-73477626198982434412007-07-25T05:16:00.000-07:002007-07-25T15:52:05.343-07:00Evelyn wrote...<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Thank you so much, It has been a great and wonderful time to stay with you.

(Psalm 34,15)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Wer würde diese Aufforderung nicht unterschreiben? Dem Frieden nachjagen. Aber schon diese Formulierung zeigt, dass es eine mühsame Aufgabe sein muss. Dem Frieden nachzujagen verlangt viele Kräfte, es verlangt auch Ausdauer, denn so leicht sind die Träume vom Frieden nicht zu erreichen.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Der gemeinsame Traum von Frieden hat in den vergangenen 14 Tagen 26 Jugendliche aus Israel, Palästina, Ungarn und Österreich verbunden. Sie haben an einem Jugendcamp unter dem Motto: „Dialog für die Zukunft“ im evangelischen Jugendgästehaus im burgenländischen Rechnitz teilgenommen. Es waren zwei Wochen des Lernens, der Begegnung und des gemeinsamen Erlebens.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Dass so eine Begegnung nicht leicht ist, haben die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer gleich zu Beginn erfahren. Schon in der Vorstellungsrunde waren die enormen Spannungen zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern deutlich. Die palästinensischen Jugendlichen hielten sich nicht lange damit auf, ihre Hobbys aufzuzählen. Ganz wesentlich zu ihrer Identität gehört nun mal die Erfahrung mit der Besatzung durch die israelische Armee. Für die israelischen Jugendlichen, immerhin kurz vor ihrem Militärdienst ein kleiner Schock, gleich so konfrontiert zu werden.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Dass die österreichischen und ungarischen Jugendlichen nicht die Rolle eines neutralen Beobachters spielten, wurde deutlich, als es auch um die Geschichte des Ortes Rechnitz ging. Anhand der schwierigen Geschichte des Umgangs mit nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen gerade in Rechnitz wurde deutlich, dass der Holocaust auch im Nahostkonflikt eine Rolle spielt. Die Erinnerung an den Holocaust ist nun mal ein Teil der Identität in der israelischen Gesellschaft und damit auch der Jugendlichen, und gleichzeitig ein Teil der österreichischen wie der ungarischen Geschichte.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Das aufeinander hören, das Argumentieren ohne das Gegenüber zu verletzen, war für viele Jugendliche ein mühsamer Lernprozess, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass es keine theoretischen Diskussionen waren. Für die Jugendlichen ging es um existenzielle Fragen der Angst, der Frustration, der Sehnsucht nach Freiheit. Für die Beteiligten waren das emotionell belastende Diskussionen.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Das Schöne war aber der gegenseitige Respekt, der auch in schwierigen Momenten zu spüren war. In den vielen unterschiedlichen Kooperationsübungen im Rahmen der Erlebnispädagogik war von dem Konflikt kaum mehr etwas zu spüren, ebenso in der Freizeitgestaltung.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Das ist ein großes Hoffnungszeichen. Friedensarbeit heißt ja bei Weitem nicht, Konflikte zu vermeiden. Ganz im Gegenteil. „Es wird nicht aufhören, bis wir anfangen, miteinander zu reden“, heißt ein Motto unserer Partnerorganisation im Nahen Osten, des Parents Circle. Es ist eine Organisation von Israelis und Palästinensern, die ein Familienmitglied in diesem Konflikt verloren haben. Gemeinsam treten sie in der Öffentlichkeit und in Schulen für Versöhnung statt Vergeltung ein.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">„Es wird nicht aufhören, bis wir anfangen, miteinander zu reden“. So mühsam dieser Prozess für die Beteiligten sein mag, es ist so wichtig, ins Gespräch zu kommen. Das Sommercamp in Rechnitz ist wohl ein wichtiger Beitrag dazu, denn es setzt bei der Jugend an.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Sicher, wenn wir in Österreich einige wenige Jugendliche ins Gespräch bringen, dann schaffen wir so noch keinen Frieden. Es wird auch in Zukunft noch viel Leid über die Völker im Nahen Osten hereinbrechen. Und doch ist es ein Anfang. Wenn einmal eine Generation aufwachsen wird, für die es normal ist, miteinander zu reden, dann sind die Menschen dem Frieden schon ein kleines Stück näher gekommen. Und irgendwo müssen sie ja anfangen, miteinander zu reden. Warum nicht in Rechnitz?<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Und vielleicht beginnen irgendwann auch mehr Menschen zu träumen von der großen Vision des Friedens, wie sie schon bei Jesaja steht:<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">„Da werden sie ihre Schwerter zu Pflugscharen und ihre Spieße zu Sicheln machen. Denn es wird kein Volk wider das andere das Schwert erheben, und sie werden hinfort nicht mehr lernen, Krieg zu führen.“ (Jesaja 2,4)<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069084568630650052.post-59848801410348570312007-07-24T02:56:00.001-07:002007-07-24T02:56:30.620-07:00Comment (German)Michael Chalupka (Diakonie) wrote about the camp in a big Austrian newspaper ("Kronen Zeitung), we have the comment only in german, maybe we can translate it later (sorry!):<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Friedensgipfel in Rechnitz:</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Nachdem das Floß zusammengezimmert und zu Wasser gelassen worden war, wurde es mit großem Hallo gestürmt und jeder der beteiligten Jugendlichen versuchte einen Platz darauf zu ergattern. Eine Szene wie sie an vielen Ecken und Enden Österreichs in diesen heißen Sommertagen gespielt haben und zur Abkühlung der Leiber und Gemüter beigetragen haben könnte.<br /><br />In Rechnitz im Burgenland hatte der Floßbau aber noch eine andere Bedeutung. „Wir wollen zeigen, dass wir gemeinsam unsere Ziele erreichen und gemeinsam in die Zukunft fahren können.“, hatten sich die 26 Jugendlichen, die im Evangelischen Jugendheim ein Feriencamp verbringen, vorgenommen.<br /><br />Sie kommen aus Palästina, Israel, Ungarn und Österreich. Und es eint sie ein Ziel: Sie wollen, weit ab von Krieg, Hass und Fanatismus, lernen einander besser zu verstehen.<br />Veranstaltet wird das Camp, das morgen endet, von verschiedenen Evangelischen Organisationen gemeinsam mit Partnern wie der israelische-palästinensichen Organisation Parents Circle, die sich der Versöhnung zwischen den Opfern des Nah-Ost-Konflikts widmet.<br /><br />Im Weblog der israelischen Teilnehmer kann man lesen. “Wir hatten einen großartigen Tag. Wir haben die Leiden und den Schmerz der Palästinenser besser verstanden und sie haben verstanden welche Ängste wir durchmachen“.<br />Natürlich verändert ein Jugendcamp nicht die Welt, aber die Herzen und Hirne junger Menschen, die ihre Welt noch gestalten können.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069084568630650052.post-45739061667741610032007-07-24T02:44:00.000-07:002007-07-24T02:45:09.729-07:00Lilach says goodbye<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";" lang="EN-US"></span></p>Hi everybody ! Yesterday we got home , to Israel , to the air – conditioner , and that means that the camp is really over . I remember that on the first day I thought that two weeks are too much and now I just want to be with all of you for another two . Today , in the morning , I felt emptiness – not to hear the church bells first thing in the morning , not to eat breakfast together , the gathering in the plenaryroom . I don’t want to get all emotional , my eyes are still red from yesterday’s goodbye but I just wanted to say that the activities , the trips , the laughs , the fun and my best two weeks wouldn’t have been the same without you all . We are an amazing group, and we couldn’t ask for better leaders, Roland, Ines, Hansi, Veronika, Mazen, Wisam and Eszter a big big thank you for being there no matter what and for the dancing and discussions. Ariella and John special thank you for being our best team leaders you made this camp a lot more meaningful and important .

This book includes a lot of chapters that we must face and live. Our journey to Austria is one of the chapters in this book that started two weeks ago and will finish tomorrow, so we are at the end of this chapter. In addition, it is really one of the chapters in our life that made our voice heard and helped us to listen, talk and trust others. It helped us to talk and tell other people about our country and about ourselves as Palestinians, to listen to other people and understand them. Consequently, it made us trust the others and believe more and more that our issue is just and everything else is not just. Moreover, we learned and thought a lot of things. On the one hand we learned many outdoor activities and every game had a meaning that will stay in our minds forever. We also learned about other cultures, lifestyles, theatre, and history. On the other hand we told the others about th</span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >e conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, who began it and who followed it. In addition, we made a Palestinian evening. It featured a Palestinian food called „Uzi“, the Palestinian National Athem, a traditional dance called „Dabke“ and a Palestinian wedding. Everything is well organized and we are very happy. In my opinion, making this journey is one way of struggling. Finally, in the name of all the Palestinian group, I would like to thank everyone who helped in this project and made it succed. So thanks to the Parents‘ circle organisation, to all the leaders in the camp, to all the participants, and to our Palestinian leaders who helped us a lot.

But it wasn´t true; our minds, hearts and souls were opened to each other. In the camp we had a good time. I met new people from Israel, Austria and Hungary. They were very good to us. I´ve learned many things about their lives, community and their thoughts. I was interested in the games that the leaders showed us, because every game has a meaning that can effects us in our lives.

This is the first time I meet Europeans, especially teenagers, which makes it much more enjoyable and useful. That´s because it will be helpful for them to learn from us and not from the media about our reality. So thanks to all the people who helped make this camp and get everything prepared for us. Moreover, it was a great chance to talk about the conflict. Michael Ingber is a very educated man who helped us understand the conflict better and realize the importance of our struggle, and so get the idea to others after we are truly convinced of it. To be honest, this camp changed a lot of things not only concerning the conflict but also changed things in me as a person. Learning how to listen to others and really listen. Because when you listen carefully you will know how to respond to the ideas that you are discussing with the other person. So, all in all, I would like to say that I loved these 14 days and I hope it will happen again and again.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqfzMtQef-Lt7GZDIohGkeJweJvjPGBU-fHCUzBLEzDV4dV3pdypzVOzLTuodMkiHnzLQ4j0L1ACGJDtrY1kloqAWcl-cGwSt8YoJ-xWVkNoqhxRs5o25ue2B6g3TyEJ5UDSyYZ38aUP-/s1600-h/lina.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqfzMtQef-Lt7GZDIohGkeJweJvjPGBU-fHCUzBLEzDV4dV3pdypzVOzLTuodMkiHnzLQ4j0L1ACGJDtrY1kloqAWcl-cGwSt8YoJ-xWVkNoqhxRs5o25ue2B6g3TyEJ5UDSyYZ38aUP-/s320/lina.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089640794775482706" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069084568630650052.post-43710824527626342072007-07-21T05:53:00.000-07:002007-07-21T06:18:43.718-07:00Tareks comment<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Everything in this world has a beginning and an end, and so this camp is gonna end and it was so fast we couldn’t feel the days as they really were. However, everything we saw, heard, felt and played was really good. In this camp we got the opportunity to meet people from many countries. We got the chance to learn a lot about their history, culture and lifestyle, and that really was so great. But the most important thing we could show all the people here was a good picture of Palestine. We showed them that we aren’t terrorists, and that we are normal human beings who suffer from an abnormal occupation, and that we hate blood as a lot of people do. During the first few days of the camp we faced a lot of problems because we didn’t know everyone here, so it was very hard to speak and conv</span><span style="font-size:100%;">ince them of what we feel and think. But the activities were very useful to know the others and make good friendships. Then we met Michael Ingber and talked about the conflict. We succeeded to show everyone that we have the most just issue in the world and I really think that we convinced all the people here, even the Israelis, and that was a big success. In this camp we talked about conflict, but after that we had fun and we used the chance to show everyone our culture in Palestine. One way or the other that led us to the conflict again, because when we talked about our culture we showed everyone that it’s connected to Palestine, while the Israelis have a lot of lifestyles and cultures and one history and all of these belong to Europe and America not to Palestine. This clearly proves that this is our land and how much we belong to it and we’ll keep fighting for this. We had a lot of interesting times here in the camp and outside on the lake and in Vienna. We played, laughed and had a lot of fun and these are some of the most important times in my life. I am sure I will never forget these times and these people.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBEXGlwvnK89MXyMPIAGThBdiJ8RTTgdF49qsk_5jGOEqene8LuXpWzHCPJr69MJp98rdCJSzZZIyzZnKQajQrix5Hm2eB57dPr5hMwfOu_nkQuuEs4TAB0pONEcxR09G-7SNBLImzQap2/s1600-h/tareq.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBEXGlwvnK89MXyMPIAGThBdiJ8RTTgdF49qsk_5jGOEqene8LuXpWzHCPJr69MJp98rdCJSzZZIyzZnKQajQrix5Hm2eB57dPr5hMwfOu_nkQuuEs4TAB0pONEcxR09G-7SNBLImzQap2/s320/tareq.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089638574277390642" border="0" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069084568630650052.post-83170776646588511032007-07-21T05:51:00.000-07:002007-07-21T06:21:26.426-07:00Ibrahims comment<span style="font-size:100%;">I would like to thank all the people who worked seriously to make this camp a success. This camp was really good because it is important to make new friends from different nations, and especially because I could meet again with the Israeli people that I met before (Sahar, Na’ama). I really reached my goal in this camp, which was from the first day to reach a high level of understanding between each other. From the </span><span style="font-size:100%;">beginning the Israelis believed that we have the right to our own land. We felt that there should be change in our life. The Israelis felt bad about ugly government actions in the West Bank.

(woohoo)<br />we are happy to have lilach here but before we will talk with lilach we will<br />tell about out last few days.<br />first of all, on sunday we had a trip to the hungarian-austrian border. we went<br />to sail on a boat called ''the black pearl'' and we sail on Lake Neusiedl.<br />we had a great time although it was very hot. we just want to remind that<br />in europe they don't have air-conditioning and it's the hottest two weeks<br />in austria in a year, so it is very hot!! but we are ok.<br />anyway, after sailing on the boat, we went swimming in the lake and it was<br />very fun because everybody splashed evelyn, our manager of the camp.<br />after getting a tan, we drove home and played 'legirato' the coolest game<br />ever, and we played it with hans, the blonde austrian leader.<br />yesterday we had two workshops to choose from: the theatre workshop and the<br />juggling workshop with tom. we chose the acting workshop with lisa and leyla. it was<br />very interesting.we learned how to communicate with other people in a different way<br />from talking. the second workshop was the juggling workshop, and they had fun and<br />lilach is very good at it! in the evening, we had the palestinian evening which was<br />very informative and fun because we got the chance to dance traditional wedding<br />dances.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_6jQmaTtQK6iTy8t-Si7AqHK-snzBm4og527Bcrs2yPkyfTXOhjNgJr6RuGMLqxUv6SGWEisEKo9QQoNgCm2o3wMg1A0oiK5z7IQ-oAXKvVxxsdJPMlFQuPaQdr3G17e2fJ8kRaT_eT6/s1600-h/DSC_3532.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_6jQmaTtQK6iTy8t-Si7AqHK-snzBm4og527Bcrs2yPkyfTXOhjNgJr6RuGMLqxUv6SGWEisEKo9QQoNgCm2o3wMg1A0oiK5z7IQ-oAXKvVxxsdJPMlFQuPaQdr3G17e2fJ8kRaT_eT6/s320/DSC_3532.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088433066269377346" border="0" /></a><br />today, we had a great day! you want to know why? that's because we came to a<br />better understing of the suffering and the pain of the palestinian and they got<br />to know and understand what we are going through. that was a very positive<br />experience. as the day went on, we introduced our shows: the juggling group showed<br />us their moves, and the acting group showed three scenes which describe various<br />conflicts. between the three scenes, guess what was chosen.. the yoni's and koren's<br />scene of course. we had more participants which were very helpful. the conflict<br />we presented koren's conflict about serving in the army.<br />in the evening, we had the ISRAELI EVENING!! we had so much fun during the<br />whole process of making and presenting our culture. we danced an israel<br />traditional dance called ''Hora'', and everybody danced and had fun.<br />now after all the ''dry'' details we will talk with out guest.. LILACH!!<br />hi lilach, please tell us your feelings and thoughts..<br />you have no idea how fun it is for me to be here in these two weeks.<br />i learned yesterday how to juggle and this fact still amazes me.<br />today i was interviewed by a reporter and i felt like a celebrity, like yoni<br />and koren :).. and i wanted to say thank you tom for teaching me how to juggle<br />and for having deep interesting conversations. i think our night couldn't have been<br />better and i had alot of fun.. and that's it..<br />to add something, this is the first time i meet palestinians and i can understnad their<br />pain and to relate to this without television and media.<br />anyway, thank you lilach for being our guest tonight.<br />we hope you had fun reading our blog today, and we only have four days left<br />here and we are sure you can't wait for our next postings...<br />so until next time, we are wishing a good day and a good week...<br />and of course.. stay tuned!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-uGqj23SknusoYS-D85lrpDdw32HMqXUKlIQBNFuBqXpiSCfltJPbXFTJSbIddf_B4Re-IlWa7QV2om_0Mf8SzV9gcu7QNxN4hYj47aNor5vV4Y0-BGKHfmjcTxNLKnJIkQMFeJJPoQU9/s1600-h/DSC_3501.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-uGqj23SknusoYS-D85lrpDdw32HMqXUKlIQBNFuBqXpiSCfltJPbXFTJSbIddf_B4Re-IlWa7QV2om_0Mf8SzV9gcu7QNxN4hYj47aNor5vV4Y0-BGKHfmjcTxNLKnJIkQMFeJJPoQU9/s320/DSC_3501.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088433491471139666" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069084568630650052.post-25580737599243809352007-07-18T00:06:00.000-07:002007-07-18T00:41:45.775-07:00Comment of Samer<span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">Theatre of the oppressed<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2rVFGRdDsNzsrJa-n9-Mi1tVJV4EPh-JBa9WdjRYuIvyWL2F3bLJQPggsnPN2yWZIWDW9b3wEWGJ1_MsYuMj4jeTCgKqeIDgOD0_PKnGnnhckuWnwRewv0bILXTQ86SZmtk4MF2oqnLrH/s1600-h/DSC_3525.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2rVFGRdDsNzsrJa-n9-Mi1tVJV4EPh-JBa9WdjRYuIvyWL2F3bLJQPggsnPN2yWZIWDW9b3wEWGJ1_MsYuMj4jeTCgKqeIDgOD0_PKnGnnhckuWnwRewv0bILXTQ86SZmtk4MF2oqnLrH/s320/DSC_3525.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088434423479042930" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT5UvAlkhikK7A5RHe4SL9LQTdkIgG7WoSmLf22E5VJsb0qxPPKxICHKuzDsu2EB79-3NX-z3fOdFAGm9a35xqMfAAxaSGeS0Jvfla9B6FcB_YChzSVVP7-4ZhBO_XPWCGQJksMzkA2KaL/s1600-h/DSC_3544.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT5UvAlkhikK7A5RHe4SL9LQTdkIgG7WoSmLf22E5VJsb0qxPPKxICHKuzDsu2EB79-3NX-z3fOdFAGm9a35xqMfAAxaSGeS0Jvfla9B6FcB_YChzSVVP7-4ZhBO_XPWCGQJksMzkA2KaL/s320/DSC_3544.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088437752078697394" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Today we had a great chance in the theatre with Lisa workshop because we made a lot of scenes that helped us in modelling our problems and solving them.
