Session: Discovering Ourselves

Using the template of “I am from…” poems (L.Christensen), participants will write a “historical” poem of their lives related to identity issues and alliances building covered by the conference. Participants will create a collage/portrait of themselves/their past/their dreams using magazines and colored papers and the activity will be posted in such as way as to be a whole conference poem.
