peacecamp2016

Hi, my name is AnnPhie, I´m 26 years old and looking very much forward to meeting you all. I am a professional actress and currently study creative writing in Vienna. This is my third peacecamp and I am thrilled to be part of it again, with my good old friend Lukas. Together we will be responsible for art, games and outdoor fun. I will do acting and theatre exercises and I´m very fond if movement: so get ready to break a sweat and get in touch with your slightly freakish side. If it´s a little embarassing, then it´s probably just right. We will be exhausted, but I can almost guarantee that you will have a good time... eventually. And if you re all in, then we will create something awesome together

Hello everybody! My name is Caroline and I live in Vienna with my son and a young refugee from Afghanistan, I have housed in my home. I’m the group coordinator of the Austrian delegation which includes 13 young people from three different schools in Lower Austria and Vienna (Sacre Coeur Pressbaum/BAKIP, BRG Purkersdorf and ERG Donaustadt/Diakonie Wien). I’m going to experience the peacecamp for the third time. My special interest in the Middle East is due to many friendships and my involvement with this topic for many years. I have Israeli friends as well as Palestinian friends and both are extremely precious for me. My special interest in this case is how to communicate in a respectful and esteeming way, without blaming and hurting each other, starting to respect each other’s experiences and feelings. The latest developments of the war in Syria and all its impacts to people who escape from war and look for shelter made me very attentive and alert that we all live in one world, in which we all have to care for peace. My interests are creativity, arts, music, theatre, dance and all kind of activities! ;-) As a professional actress and trauma pedagogue I’ll work with all peacecamp participants on your family albums with the means of Biography Theatre. Therefore I would love to invite you working with me on your special things that you ought to bring with you: little souvenirs of your home, your family or photographs with delightful and positive memories. We’ll do some kind of theatre improvisations and maybe we’ll find some scenes, based on your objects. I’m very curious to meet you and I wish you a splendid time at peacecamp 2016! I’m looking forward getting to know you soon!

Hi, my name is Ronny. I am Evelyn's husband, and while she is the mastermind behind the peacecamp project, I am rather the allrounder taking care of all the organisational details entailed with such an event. I will be at the camp on and off, commuting between Vienna and Lackenhof. I was born in Argentina and am living in Vienna (with interruptions) since my childhood. I have two grown-up daughters and (so far) one grandson. I am looking forward to be with you all at peacecamp no. 14! See you soon ...
