نحن واليابان والقنابل النووية!!
December 28th, 2009
كان ردّي ببساطة ” يبدوا أن القنبلتين اللتين سقطتا على هيروشيما ونكازاكي لم تكن قنابل نووية، وإنما قنابل أخلاق.. ربما نحتاج نحن العرب عشرين قنبلة نووية نُضرب بها على أمل أن نصل بعدها بخمسين عام إلى ما وصل إليه شعب اليابان اليوم”..
نظام التعليم… نظام التعليم… نظام التعليم… أقولها ثلاثاً!! من هنا نصنع أمة كاليابان، وأظن أن أعظم إستثمار قد تقوم به وزارة التربية والتعليم هي إرسال جميع المعلمين والمدرسين وكوادر التعليم في رحلة تنورية إلى اليابان حتى يروا أن ما نتحدث عنه ليس ضرباً من الخيال وأن صنع جيل يتمتع بأخلاق عالية وحس بالمسؤولية يبدأ من عندهم…

A moment of pleasure | Sha3teely playdoh workshop at Fekrah!
December 9th, 2009
Fekra is a program initiated by The Children Museum. The museum hosted groups of children from different institutions and organizations, and from different parts of Jordan.They spend couples of hours at the museum twice a week. For a month, these kids are exposed to new learning experiences through couple of workshops and activities.
I was honored and lucky to be part of Fekra this year and to play playdoh with kids a little bit. It was hard but yet fun. I just gave these kids some playdoh pieces to play with and to experience the fun of molding and creation.
At the beginning, non of the kids had an idea what to do, and to tell you the truth I could not tell them what to do. I just wanted them to express their thoughts.. The only thing they though of was a man committing a suicide, a gun and a big bullet.. Then there was that little girl came from heaven and saved the day. She started to create amazing shapes and objects and when I asked everyone to see her work, a river of innovation ran into their minds. The scene was crazy and the workshop became a playdoh carnival.
That girl was able to do something I could not do.. That girl inspired her friends more than I could and I am thankful for what she did.
Fekra program is amazing and I believe it should be expanded beyond the museum it self. Our kids needs to be exposed to many positive experiences. And they should learn how to express, share and produce. And we as adults we need to lean how to deal with their emotions, dreams and imagination. We need to learn how to inspire them and be inspired by them. So I guess it was a good start..
