Zareba Kamila is 18 years old and from Poland. Thanks to a scholarship she received as an exchange student in Germany the opportunity to live and study for one school year. It has for September 2009 in Schwäbisch Hall. Kamila like sports, she trained as a guest with the women's basketball team, "Flyers". It also draws a lot. As long as she can remember she is responsible for himself and for friends. In addition to larger drawings they made smaller abstract drawings at. They studied the words in German: "Some describe it as a bit horrible, but not all are like that." It is not easy at first a little lower, to present a picture of it actually describes: ". A head in a shoe, the face has only eyes and a small mouth." Most these small drawings were made during lessons. In addition, she is fascinated by the Polish reggae and ska bands and Pajujo Maleo Reggae Rockers.
Theatre Play
Jannik began at primary school with acting. For four years he studied a theater pieces, mainly for school parties and performances. He then took a long break because of his fondness for football. His mother gave him a shove but finally returned to deal with theater, "Jannik playing theater." He had played well at home too much, "Do not Do it here, go to the theater!" He asked classmate Mira. She told him from the theater project "adventure diversity." "Perfect!" he thought, and went with them.
Kamila like the theater as a spectator. She visited often plays, but she could not imagine not playing even one theater. "In doing the theater classes at my school in Poland, I never went because I thought that I can not. The other thing I would also ask there." Here they wanted to try something new. "Movie theater!" suggested to her host mother. Because they knew no one here had fewer inhibitions to try the theater.
enthusiasm for adventure Diversity
"It's not just theater, it is also much more!" Says Janna, he is particularly fond of improvisation. He has opted for this new challenges, it assumes seriously: "The concentration exercises are sometimes extremely hard for me, especially after a day that I spend sitting still needs at school. But I realize that I can improve -. not only the exercises but also through theater improvisation, especially in the last hour I've learned that I may be inclined It's fun, sometimes hard. also a bit of. But you can be creative. You can play things on which you would never come, or that deal right now. "
Kamila the project is in general very varied . "The exercises are very interesting, I feel good in the group-I have no blockade! The group is very nice, no one criticizes me or looks down on me . My teammates just accept everything. If I do not understand something, they help me. "She remembers a Cross-cultural exercise," the exercise was to feel like you can if the situation does not understand. "Three participants were sent out and returned individually, as a conversation already in was underway. They had to try in the conversation in order to incorporate figure out which talking point, it actually went. The theme was "reading books" but the group did not use these words and said instead of "cigarette rauchen". "Ich war oft in solchen Situationen. Ich war lange diejenige, die kein Deutsch konnte- und die Menschen erzählten mir nicht immer was los war."
Gefragt über die Bedeutung von Vielfalt bringt Jannik die Gruppe wieder ins Gespräch: "Jeder Mensch bringt etwas Eigenes mit in diese Gruppe, das bedeutet für mich Vielfalt. Es gibt hier tolle Persönlichkeiten!" Seine Erfahrungen mit Vielfalt sind nicht begrenzt auf die Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Menschen wie hier im Theaterprojekt, sondern er erkennt Vielfalt auch in der Natur, in der Mode oder Musik. Er und Kamila also see a danger that you can lose yourself in the diversity and forget what we were doing something. "Sometimes there is too much variety and you can not cope. There can be a make ready, to confuse" says Janna. Kamila agrees, "You can overdo it, always do more ... to make to make." But it outweighs the positive side of the end: "diversity is above all an exchange with others to learn from them and take what life gives.
