FIRST THINGS FIRST

Today was the first step in the project by meeting with both the director (Michel) and the manager (Mai) of the ECO museum of BATTIR. We've been trying to see the project on a practical level, mostly regarding the participants'profile. We agreed on gathering two groups of youngsters between 15 and 18, speaking a minimum of english. This latter constrain lead us to think about starting with the girls who seem to have a better english than the boys :-). We expect it will challange the boys to do better!

Mai and Michel organized a meeting with the headmistress of the school for girls, we met her within the next 30 minutes and got an agreement within the other next 30 minutes.
The workshop will take place in the meeting room of the ECOmuseum to allow a greater  freedom of speech and the best conditions for working on ideas.

Tomorrow we plan to visit the school for boys with WISAM (the other manager of the Ecomuseum and Guest house). We'll try to get the same kind of agreement with its headmaster.

The famous incredible efficiency of Battiris...

To be continued.
