‘expressions corner’ was launched today for the first time within a Kazamaza studio which took place in Tyr. 7 wonderful 18+ participants took part in ‘expressions corner’ and absolutely loved the experience and opportunity to voice their opinions on issues that they live through every day without giving them a second thought. In ‘expressions corner’ they had cards that represented things they love, things they hate, things they don’t know about, and things they’ve never even thought about; lying side by side with equal importance. When asked for feedback, participants expressed: “No one ever asks about what we think or the ideas that we have about all these things.” According to Tonnie Choueiri who did a great job managing and facilitating ‘expressions corner’, participants were fighting over who should go next! The last participant shared with us this lovely feedback:
“If there hadn’t been ‘expressions corner’, this would have been a normal day, but now it has been a special one. I was the last one to go into ‘expressions corner’, so I could have missed it, but God wanted me to have the experience, so I got the chance, even though the workshop had already ended.”
I am happy that such a new method introduced to such a new audience, yielded such a successful outcome! Let’s hope that in the future, this method will prove successful with different audiences in different Lebanese regions as well…
