After a few phone calls early this morning, everything was all set to getting started. First we met with the Headmaster of the school for boys and shortly after our arrival we were invited to meet the boys in a room next to the classes. There were 15 between 15 to 17 years old.
We (Bader, Fatima and I explained the goals of the workshop, the process and the sujects which were mostly leads for inspiration:
- Fear and anxiety
- The 4 elements: air, earth, fire and water
- A portrait or a self-portrait
- Resistance
The boys seemed to be enthusiast and we arrange our next meeting for the afternoon.
We then had an appointment to the school for girls where we also met 10 girls of the same age as the boys.
We gave the same informations to them and fix a date for the day after (tomorrow).
Back to the Eco Museum we had just enough time to arrange the meeting room and to go eating.
Like they promised, the boys were there on time and we've started by a reminder of the schedule, the viewing of film extracts I've been making and we asked each one to introduce himself like a video selfie (with the Canon mini X and the GoPro camera). They were very excited by the Canon.
While one group was making its selfie, the other was working on the subject they would like to choose.
At the end of the session everyone had his selfie and was ok with working either on a documenbtary film about Battir or on the threat of their scool by the wall.
Here are the participants:
