Workshop on volunteering and activism
To change the world around us we need to start doing small steps ourselves. This weekend we realized a workshop "Volunteering and activism" in the Orphanage of St. Anthony. As part of the project "Young peacekeepers for a society without violence" as an alternative to violence and destructive behavior, we raise awareness of activism. The aim of the workshop was to raise awareness of the importance of helping others and a positive impact on the society around us. We talked about volunteering and activism with an emphasis on acting, active participation, actions for good and the responsibilities of each of us. It is important not waiting for someone else to do it. We concluded that in order to change the world around us, we need to start ourselves. When asked who the volunteers are and why they help us, the children answered that they are good and decent people who want to share love and help them achieve their life goals. They also named that they want to share knowledge with them, help them with learning and that volunteers take care of other people’s happiness in the future. Interestingly, when we asked our little ones what they would change in their community, they stated that they would change the technology thinking that they would like to have more.
