Workshop 7
PEACE FOR YOU(TH)
Workshop facilitator: Cécilia Coulon
Being part of the peace activism workshops in Berlin was something that touched me far beyond the level of just learning. We worked through performance, and every exercise felt like opening a new door inside myself. It wasn’t just about acting—it was about speaking with my whole body, about telling stories of peace in a way words could never fully capture. The heart of this experience was our mentor. She was the gentlest soul I’ve ever met—more like a mother than a teacher. She didn’t only guide us on stage, but also in life, reminding us that activism begins with kindness, listening, and care. Her advice stayed with me, not only as lessons for performance but as small lifelines I still hold onto. These workshops didn’t just inspire me—they truly healed me during days when I needed it most. I walked away stronger, lighter, and with a group of people who now feel like family. And maybe that’s the real magic of peace activism: you arrive as strangers, but you leave carrying pieces of each other’s hearts.
