I. A description of the activities undertaken during the unit, including comments on the reactions of the group/individual participants

Due to the nature of the group (people from socially excluded background with bad experiences resulted in the lack of trust in their surroundings and the people around them) we have organized this meeting. The possible participants got opportunity to talk to the artist who will lead the workshops, listen to what kind of character will the workshops have and ask questions.
We suppose that the participants will feel more comfortable during the group activity if they got to know the artist before and had at least slight idea what they can expect from the workshop. If the participants did not have the information in advance, it would be practically impossible to schedule the workshop because common worries and fear of the participants would prevent them from attending

The meeting was very short and after the artist explained everything and answered all the questions, there was as date set for the next meeting (6.03.08). While leaving everybody seemed to be interested in the upcoming workshop and decided to try next workshop.


II. Was the aim of the unit achieved (the implementation of practical skills and the pedagogical aim)?

Everybody who attended the meeting like the artist and decided to participate on the workshop, which is a very essential step to start the workshop blocks. However, it will probably take time to build up a study group.

III. Other remarks (for example on the interaction between artistic and educational elements)
