Who Am I? What is self? (Room 400C)
Andrew Joyner, Daniel Ware, Joshua Ware, Carl Houston
In the beginning we will perform a poem that will basically serves as the blueprint for the workshop. The piece will discuss some of the struggles we experienced on the way to finding self. From that we will have a mediator that will share some of his experiences and how he can relate to the poem. Then we will break off into groups where we will get a little more personal with the children, allotting them the opportunity to share how they can relate to the things discussed in the poem. From that we will also discuss solutions to these problems. We will then have an open discussion, giving the children the opportunity to expand upon what was discussed in the smaller groups, including the solutions. To close we will present another poem that is solution based to the struggles we shared in the beginning and how we overcame finding and defining self.
