Nostrum is back!
27/11/2018
The volunteering team, interns and technical team of FAS gather twice a year in Nostrum, a training event held outside the UAB campus. Taking part in this training allows members to share, get to know each other and build bonds with other team members; to get to discover what FAS is beyond each programme and also to be part of a space for reflection and useful training for volunteering as well as for growing social commitment.
Last 1 December a new edition of Nostrum was held in Associació de Mestres Rosa Sensat.
The event started with a set of welcoming and learning-focused activities to then continue on with the main part of the event: three training workshops focused on gender, interculturalism and group dynamics:
- Re-gen(d)er-ating our lives. With Christopher Casas from the organization Projecte Ella. This workshop used a brief history of feminism and some activities to analyze our daily routine from a gender perspective in order to make us observe ourselves with a critical point of view and to deconstruct our attitudes and decisions as well as to get to see how the gender imperatives we have been internalizing for years affect us.
- Power and privilege roles workshop. An intersectional point of view. With Griselda Lloret from the organization La Xixa teatro. An experience-based, dynamic and participatory workshop where the Theatre of the Oppressed methodology is used to reflect on how to detect and face violence situations when it comes to social exclusion.
- Working together: dynamics for groups. With Patricia Garcia from the organization Almalj Facilitacion. This workshop taught us different participatory dynamics for groups with useful, experience-based activities. We also got to explore how to encourage involvement in our groups and some key guidance to communicate better with those we work with to improve participation.
