Thoughts on the workshop

2017-06-04T16:26:55+03:00

In our workshop we have created a film in a group that explores the theme of Wellbeing. We had a lot of ideas, found locations for filming then we got our cameras and work began.
First we conducted interviews to ask people their opinions on well-being, we asked what is Wellbeing, what makes you happy in your life, what advice would you give to someone else to make them feel happy about themselves? Is Wellbeing just about health?
Then we went on to research the positive effects of happiness and created a news report to summarise our findings.
We then began to edit our films which was exciting but hard work!
We have worked well together, shared ideas, helped each other and we feel proud of our work as a team.

Mein Eindruck vom Wohlfuehl Workshop

2017-06-04T16:28:19+03:00

Ziel unserer Arbeit war ein Film über “well-being” zu drehen und dazu verschiedene Meinungen jeglichen Alters über sein Verstandniss von “well-being” und “happiness” miteinzubringen.
Vor dem Workshop hatte ich erwartet eine große Gruppe bei “well-being/drama” anzutreffen, jedoch bestand unsere Gruppe , wie es sich herausgestellt hatte nur aus fünf SchülerInnen und zwei Lehrern.
Nach anfänglichen technischen Problemen, hat schließlich alles gut geklappt und ich fand, dass unsere Gruppe sich gut organisieren konnte .
Was mich wirklich beeindruckt hat war ,dass obwohl wir aus vier unterschiedlichen Ländern kamen, uns trotzdem gut verstanden und sogar Freundschaften geknüpft haben. Ich bereue es kein bisschen diesen Workshop gewählt zu haben, weil es wirklich sehr viel Spass gemacht hat sowohl vor als auch hinter der Kamera zu stehen und seiner Kreativitat freien Lauf zu lassen.

Ich hoffe, dass unser Video euch gefällt!
Vielen Dank an Miss Dowie und Mr Janos Talaber, die mir und der ganzen Gruppe in dieser kurzen Zeit sehr viel beigebracht haben!

Interview with Miss Dowie!

What do you think is the purpose of this workshop?

We are using drama to explore, we are actually putting together a film.
The film is going to explore Wellbeing, understanding what Wellbeing is,what makes people happy and how you can improve your own Wellbeing. So, people have really focused in on what happiness is, and what individuals find to improve their quality of life and makes them most happy.

Do you think happiness is important is schools to keep up morale?

Absolutely! I think students work hard and enjoy their work if they are happy. I think also schools could maybe look at how they could improve student’s happiness. We have been looking whether people feel happier outside of school or whether it is inside of school. Also times when people can meet, get together and do social activities, or even just be in the common room is where we found students are their happiest. We have also looked at whether there is opportunities for their learning environments to change and if a classroom
and the interior design in a classroom or the way a classroom can be arranged have an effect. When you look at the sixth form common room, it is very different furniture so it has a very different attitude and a comfortable atmosphere. I think that can improve self-Wellbeing.

What have you being talking about in the workshop?

People have been talking in the workshop about self-esteem, the importance of family, love and relationships. It is a very big topic to explore and what we are trying to do is get individual opinions about it.

Our opinion of the workshop - now in Finnish

2017-06-04T16:29:26+03:00

Meidan workshopissa oli todella kivaa. Me teimme juttua hyvinvoinnista. Me haastattelimme ihmisia, ja kysyimme heilta mita on hyvinvointi, mista he tulevat iloiseksi ja miten he reagoivat kun he ovat hyvin iloisia.
Meidan ryhma oli mukava. Tama kokemus oli todella mahtava, ja se sai meidat ajattelemaan myos omaa hyvinvointiamme. Meidan mielesta hyvinvointi on sita, etta on onnellinen ja iloinen elamaan.
Valilla on ollut vaikea ymmartaa, etta mita toinen sanoo, mutta olemme kuitenkin parjanneet suht’koht hyvin.
Tama koulu on todella iso, meidan kouluumme verrattuna, ja tanne olisi todella kiva jääda, mutta valitettavasti lähtö kutsuu..
