We began the workshop as a whole group and re introduced ourselves to the new patients who had joined us. We had a showing of a segment of an animation made by Dean of ‘Fred’s’ story. The story is autobiographical and tell’s the tale of Fred’s evacuation during WWII and his return to London by sea, where he was met with devastation and the death of close family members. Fred seemed really pleased with the section that he saw, which included the evacuation, the fighter planes and the bomb shelter.
This week we had to share our own stories to the resident’s of the Hospice. One lady, called Frida, who was probably in her late seventies remarked how she could not undestand why todays teenagers were so violent and invoved in gangs. This sparked a debate between us which was intriging. We learnt a lot about perspective and she believes that what happens to young people now will effect them when they are older. Frida was a very positive and a very open minded lady. She grew up in the contryside which has now become very built up.
This second workshop was much more comfortable than the first. Everyone seemed much more relaxed and confident.
