The first week at TRACE was exhilarating! The first day of work, we were put into groups of three and had to create a song using words commonly used to describe what TRACE is all about. The songs were very creative and each group took on the task in a different way. Two groups used beats from songs they listen to and each member of the last group wrote a poem.
One of the activies we had to do during the week was cleaning the Savanna. At first, ckeaning the Savanna was dull to the group members, but we had to work together to make it a fun and an exciing learning experience.As a group, we wanted to get to know each other better.We created ''I Am..'' poems and shared them with one another.The poems helped us get a better understanding of each other.
Throughout the week, we did workshops with Mama Zahra. In groups of threes, we had to pick a scene and add an emotion, then act it out to the rest of the group. With this activity, we all as a group showed our personalilties. Mama Zahra helped us with keeping our act together while doing certain scenes.
Shonettia's workshop was by far one of the best of the week. We learned about different types of systems and how they affect each other and ourselves. We did a silent activity where we could only respond by stepping forwards or backwards. This helped us see each others views without having an arguement or being judgemental.
The last day of the week was the field trip! This was a great day because it was a day where we got together with the other parks and get to know each other.We had fun with the team building activies. The activies helped us build trust in one another, self esteem, and feel comfortable and safe with one another.
