Iskrice življenja v Gazi s Haneen Karaz

Desetletja okupacije, nasilja, vojn in zatiranja Izraelske države v Palestini, je podvrglo tamkajšnje prebivalstvo v bivanje v neznosnih razmerah za življenje in za mnoge v prezgodnjo smrt. A kljub vsemu trpljenju in grozotam, palestinsko ljudstvo služi tudi kot zgled neverjetne odpornosti, vztrajnega odpora; upora proti vojaško in tehnološko mnogo močnejšemu sovražniku. V luči genocidne vojne v Gazi je upor že samo preživetje. A kljub pomakanju osnovnih dobrin kot je voda, hrana, varnega zavetja in zdravstvene oskrbe, smo priča neverjetnim zgodbam ne le golega preživetja temveč tudi ustvarjalnega, solidarnega življenja skupnosti, kjer je tudi v teh časih prostor za ljubezen, smeh in veselje. O življenju v Gazi bo z nami spregovorila ustvarjalka Haneen Karaz, ki tudi v teh dneh in v teh razmerah za otroke v skupnosti prireja ustvarjalne delavnice animacije. Pogovarjali se bomo o ohranjanju mentalne dobrobiti v kriznih časih.

Palestinci in Palestinke nikakor ne smejo biti vir pomilovanja temveč vzor moči in volje, da se borijo, živijo in ponosno stojijo spričo desetletij krutega zatiranja in neusmiljenega izraelskega nasilja in morjenja. Narediti moramo vse kar je v naši moči, da jim pri tem pomagamo in hkrati po njihovem vzoru vztrajamo v svojih bojih proti zatiralcem.

Vabljene_i , v petek 11.4. ob 19:00 v [a]-infoshop!

Sparks of life in Gaza with Haneen Karaz

Decades of occupation, violence, war and oppression by the State of Israel in Palestine have subjected the local population to unbearable conditions of life and, for many, to premature death. Yet, despite all the suffering and horrors, the Palestinian people also serve as an example of incredible resilience, of persistent resistance; of resistance against a militarily and technologically much stronger enemy. In the light of the genocidal war in Gaza, resistance is survival itself. But despite the deprivation of basic goods such as water, food, safe shelter and medical care, we are witnessing incredible stories not only of bare survival but also of creative community life in solidarity, where even in these times there is room for love, laughter and joy. Our guest Haneen Karaz will talk about life in Gaza in current conditions. She is an artist who, even in this times, is organising creative animation workshops for children in the community. We will talk about maintaining mental well-being in times of crisis.

Palestinians should not be a source of pity, but a model of strength and will to fight, live and stand proud in the face of decades of brutal oppression and continuos Israeli violence and murders. We must do everything in our power to support them, while at the same time following their example in our struggles against our oppressors.

Welcome to join us, on Friday 11.4. at 19:00 in [a]-infoshop!

"My current thought is that the majority of rhetorical skill during discussion (not debate, because that’s antagonistic by design), should be focused on 'managing the receptiveness of the receiver'."

Think Again – Adam Grant
In a world that seems to be going to hell in a hand basket maybe we need to stop valuing pure intelligence or money as a goal and instead look towards the ability to abandon ideas that are no longer valid and relearn when presented with new information.

Furthering

The last part of the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves discusses conversations between people who may not agree. Other books have tackled this subject at length, so I won’t rehash the ideas here.

While some of the ideas in the book aren’t new (to me), I think they could be applied to collective benefit, both in person and on social media. Less one-upmanship, fewer “gotcha” questions, less correction, less ego. More question asking, more connection, and more kindness, most of all.

Furthering

I finished the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves by Alison Wood Brooks. I love the topic about how to communicate well with other people – it’s an art that we can cultivate to our own and others’ benefit. It’s beautiful, healthy, and connective, and I was happy to have this book become available.

This is a long thread with my notes and direct quotes.

The book begins by identifying maxims that can be used to facilitate conversation, which I think are useful both offline and on: “The TALK maxims break conversation down into four crucial reminders that will guide our entire approach to make conversation more vibrant, enriching, and effective: Topics, because great conversationalists choose good topics and make any topic better; Asking, because asking questions helps us move between topics and dive deeper into them; Levity, to keep our conversations from becoming stale; and Kindness, because great talkers care for others and show it.”

It's an easy reminder – to stay curious, to introduce lightness, and to lead with compassion.
