6 August: Management, Propaganda & Music

Today we had another day of workshops on organizational management and media.

Today, we took a closer look on the management of non profit organisations. First on the program were the workshops about the defining of mission and vision of the organisation, and afterwards SWOT-analysis was on the menu. Both the workshops were quite interactive, which made it easier for the youth to concentrate.


After lunch, the energizer was ‘good old’ women against men, which led off course to an even greater team spirit. After some digestion efforts, a music workshop was on the scheme, hosted by Omri and Ismael. After a short performance by our talented friends, the floor was ours and we expressed our feelings in our own language by the use of hip-hop.


After this musical experience, we had the visit of a French photographer, who provides pictures for NGO’s around the world.


The next workshop was again new media, and we were taught about the propaganda model. However the presentation was very interesting, it was quite short due to time management.


After dinner, we shared feelings, emotions and opinions about the trip to Jerusalem the day before. Everyone had the opportunity to say how he/she felt, which was necessary after visiting a city that overled us which all sorts of emotions.
