This week we are working with a group
called Turning Tables. Through music they are empowering young people
by giving them a voice. They are helping young people to create
music, videos, cd's and documentatries focusing on issues in Myanmar.
In our lessons with turning tables we
have learned basic music tools, have been challenged and pushed out
of our comfortzone by singing, composing and writing our own song.
Especially for the danish participants it has been a challenge to let
go of the danish perfectionism. As a dane you often feel
uncomfortable expressing yourself through music and dancing if you
don't feel like it's perfect. The burmese participants don't have the
same perfectionism so it's easier for them to let go and have fun.
Danish people can learn a lot from that. The lessons with turning
tables and the burmese as an inspiration have helped the danes to let
go a bit more and have fun.
The lessons have definitely brought the
whole group closer together. When creating music together and for
some being in their stretching zone, you will see new sides of
people. When having to make music in a group you will have to listen
to eachother and work as a team. This has strenghtened us as a group.
This friday we are making an event
where we perform the song we have created and recorded this week. At
the event there will be snacks and drinks and we will also preform
some danish/burmese songs for the staff at the global platform.
