- 16h meeting at Townhouse to prepare a Saturday mapping workshop with Sawa kids. There is a meeting with 4 instructors - they all seem very nice people. There is about 40 children in a group from all different nationalities and they show me the ID cards the kids were doing for themselves. There is a self-portrait filling the square, name, place and date of birth on each ID card. So I culd get to know kids better. There are some very nice drawings. There are two girls who had drawen themselves identicaly in red and blond hair. I liked very much the self portrait of a iraki kid. It is very good drawn, I think he is very talented and sensitive. We discuss our next workshop that I am going to lead. The idea is to make a game about mapping the through the trajectory that each kid is taking to arrive to Townhouse from their homes. It starts with a rope game where every kid has a rope that will present his trajectory. All the ropes are tied to the center that represents the Townhouse. When all the kids manage to place themselves in the imagined map holding the end of the rope they have to draw their trajectory on the floor explaining the most important points that they can remember on the way.
