DESCRIPTION
Join us for an enriching event organized by the Greek Council for Refugees, titled “Do I Have the Right to Tell a Story.” This event will feature two interactive workshops designed to explore the concept of “home” through literature and creative expression, engaging both teenagers and primary school children.
1. Workshop :
Exploring the Notion of “Home”: Led by author Anna Mertzani, this workshop uses Drama in Education based on the novel “Do I Have the Right to Tell a Story?” inspired by the UN Convention on Children’s Rights.
Interactive Process: Participants will engage in activities that explore three fundamental rights: the Right to Life (Art. 6), the Right to Secularism (Art. 14), and the Right to Freedom of Speech (Arts. 12 & 13).
Book Donation: Copies of the book will be donated to Weneedbooks Library in Greek, English, and Arabic, where the activity will be hosted.
2. Children’s Workshop (7-12 years old):
Storytelling and Discussion: Based on the children’s books “Milly, Molly and their Dads” and “Milly, Molly and the Pets Day,” this workshop will invite children to reflect on the meaning of “home.”
Creative Expression: Children will express their understanding of “My Home” through various forms of creativity, including drawing, tableau vivant, comic creation, singing, drama, dance, pantomime, and poem writing.
Purpose and Goals:
To engage participants in a thoughtful exploration of the concept of “home” and its significance.
To foster a deeper understanding of children’s rights through interactive and creative activities.
To encourage self-expression and cultural understanding among participants.
