My own group’s history

This is a group task meant to teach us the narrative of your group’s history.
It should include events that happened to your group which are relevant to how you feel as members of that group.

Let us know your own group’s history with its joyful, painful, tragic aspects so that we can understand the causes and source of pain you are dealing with now.

Please feel free to include anything that comes to your mind, with no restriction or taboo.

Please assemble as much information as you can on posters, photos, drawings, articles – in any mode you choose. But please analog, not digital.

This is a group-task - please discuss this with your group before you come and make a plan how to show us where you come from

This will be each group's own evening: Please bring Budapest, Vienna, the Arab city of Nazareth and the Jewish Israel to Lackenhof.
