First off all, thanks for reading!

Readers, just a small warning: because of the heat and the long (but interesting) day and night (wink) our brains can’t function normal. So no chronological report about the day, just take a care bear & enjoy.

Israeli’s work just like all of us, though they have a different labour system as in Belgium. In fact only 4,5% of the active population are employers (big bosses), that’s really small but they have a lot of power.

Dialogue café: one of the tasks on the topic new media was to discuss web 2.0 (facebook, youtube, wikipedia,…)

How we use web 2.0 (new media) in our lives;

The positive and the negatives;

Main conclusion we didn’t know we used web 2.0, its fun, its fantastic but it takes time.

At the beach the Belgian group had an evening discussion about how we feel in this exchange but also about our country and its conflict. Really interesting to hear how everyone thinks and feels about our small country. After the emotions, followed the refreshments for some in the water and others in a ‘few’ glasses of beer.

Yala yala!!! Care bears are good motivation between the long power points…

8 pieces of pizza were to much but we have reports off people eating at least 6.

A lot of powerpoints today. In combination with temperatures and airco this made a lot of victims. First a few sleepers and then some fell ill. Hopely they recover before the party J

U move for peace, u move for toilet, you move for humus, I move for goldstar, …

Goal setting cause making goals is important. So we got a presentation about it and could apply the knowledge on our projects. A useful tool is SMART. Goals have to be:

Specific

Measurable

Attractive/ acceptable

Realistic

Time bound

Not easy to create goals with these rules, especially when it’s so hot but afterwards you can really work with them.

Uhm, do you know anything that starts with U and makes sense?

Social tv is a small non profit Israeli media organisation who makes reports on and participates in social actions. It’s an alternative to mainstream media but also provides them the full story. Check out on www.TV.social.org.il

Theatre workshop with Noa. After lunch we got a real active workshop. As a warm up we had energy game, gathering in the circle and passing shouts & moves to each other. Then louder, then softer. Really fun!!! Which followed by a small discussion on the division of

Belgium

and a play where the public played the directors.
