Banjika School Workshops, Author: Kevin

On Saturday, we kick started our first day of Banjika School workshops. Queen, Michael and I (Kevin) ran a poetry/music workshop where students expressed feelings towards family through spoken word. Darren ran a workshop on Self Defense in which male and female students learned simple moves and techniques. Oliver and Francesca ran a dance workshop where students had fun learning synchronized choreography together outside. Tayeb had a one on one with a student demonstrating and teaching basic fiddle techniques. Alex and Maddie used a Flip camera to record the event and all others served as assistants. Ashley made lunch (over 100 sandwiches) for everyone. The turn out was good, around 50 students showed up and participated. The Saturday workshops served as the precursor to the upcoming Thursday workshops in which all 500 Banjika Secondary School students must participate in student led workshops.
