Germans and Israelis work together in the project "Creative Art against Discrimination"

During one week, 20 young people from Germany and Israel have been working together recording videos and music. From the 15th to the 20th of July the project "Creative Art against Discrimination" has been running in the Burgerhaus Bennohaus AKO of Münster. The second part of the project will take place in October, in the twin city Rishon Le Zion, Israel.

Germans and Israelis have been working in three differents groups: music video group run by Daria Jaranowska, music group run by Max Hafemann, and making of group run by Maya Maraglit. The first one filmed a music video for a yiddish song, the second one composed a new version of that song and the third one filmed and documented how the others groups worked.

But not was all work. The first day all the participants got to know each other during the intercultural evening, in which the Germans presented their country as well as the Israelis, and also Poland and Spain were presented as the countries where two participants come from. After the presentations everybody enjoyed eating and drinking staff from each country with some of the host families and with the chairman of the Bennohaus and Youth4Media Network, Dr. Joachim Musholt.

Apart from the workshops, Bennohaus celebrated a conference with Laszlo Schwartz, an Holocaust survivor. During this emotional event the participants and more guests, as the mayor of Münster Gerhard Joksch, heard the dramatic story about his life and watched a documentary about his deportation and his rescue.

The participants also had the opportunity to do some turism in Münster and in Enschede, Netherlands.

But the time goes fastly and the final event arrived. On Sunday afternoon the differents groups presented their jobs to the other participants and the host families. The result was awesome and everybody enjoyed a lot. The music video and the making of groups presented their videos and then the music group played the song that they have composed during this week.

Now, the first part of the project is over but everybody is looking forward to join the second one in October in Rishon Le Zion, Israel.
