Drama at Dar Assadaqa

Dar Assadaqa serves at the central meeting point for many young women and men in Abu-Dis. The nonchalent attitude of the hard workers in the centre allow for people to drop in and out to join the many activities that are going on. Today was our turn (Tanzil and Ed) to host drama and conversational classes. We kicked of with some warm up games, which the kids were quickly absorbed by. Then we encouraged the children to create a story that they would then improvise a scene from. The pictures below show the results.




We also developed a one to one session looking at some texts that students had written, going through, explaining and correcting mistakes they had made. In addition, we ran a small workshop which developed conversational skills which was rounded of with a free discussion on the implications of modern technology in society. The students soon realised that even with a limited vocabulary, they were able to tease out very sophisticated points. A few points included 'technology holds the key to the door of both heaven and hell'  and that technology, eventhough it is vitally important, needs to be regulated by both the government and ourselves.

We also organised some fun activities with the younger kids that, despite the heat, were fun for all.
