MUSIC WORKSHOP We all listen to music, but do you really know about the instruments and notes?
Music workshop 4 instruments families Woodwind In wind instruments, the sound is produced by the vibration of air in the column. It can be by blowing from the instrumentist, a mechanical blowing. Then 2 familiesthey are split in . For these instruments, the sound is produced by the vibration of an reed or a bevel. For example : piccolo, traverse flute, oboe, english horn, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, contrabassoon Brass They are also wind instruments. They are literally made of brass or other metal. The sound is produced with lipsthe of the instrumentist. For example : trumpet, french horn, trombone, tuba String 3 types of strings - the bowed with violin, viola, cello, double bass - the struck : piano, organo - the plucked : harp, guitar… The sounds directly comes from the string Percussions There is 2 types of percussion Tuned- : They are typically used to perform melodic or harmonic sections of a composition. All of these instruments are tuned (able to produce a specific pitch) and notated with normal music notation. Tuned xylophone, timpani, marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel Untuned- : big drum, gong, triangle, cymbals, tambourine, snare drum
HOW ARE INSTRUMENTS ORGANISED IN AN ORCHESTRA? Instruments are sort by family: from the most quiet to the loudest
Let's take an example of 100 musicians 60 strings because it is quiet and need to be heard 10 to 12 woodwind -10 not more than 10 brass
Why is there a conductor? He leads all the musicians : gives the tempo, tell them when and how to play (more quiet, loud…) Each musician has his music sheet of what he plays but the conductor has all sheets in one.
Now let's learn the notes ! DO, RE, MIFirst of all, you have to know that there are 7 notes: FA, SOL, LA SI. In the figure you can see a keyboard where the white notes are these 7 notes mentioned. But, what about the black keys? Let me explain to you something else before. In the same way that we use the kilograms for weight and TONESmeters for measure, in music we use to count the distance between two notes. Each blue line in the is half a tone. 1 halftone + 1 halftone = 1 tone. So, from Do-Re there are 2 halftones or 1 tone. The sharp (#) increases half a tone the note and the flat (b) decreases half a tone the note. This is why if we increase half a tone DO we get DO# and if we decrease half a tone RE we get REb, which is the same note. NOTE: Look how from every two consecutive notes there is one tone distance (DO-RE, RE-MI, FA-SOL, SOL-LA, LA-SI) except between MI-FA and SI-DO, in these cases there is only half tone. DO#/ RE#/ FA#/ SOL# LA#/ REb MIb SOLb /LAb SIb DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI DO
The art of flow Hello survivors. My name is Sofia and I am a CreARTure. I came into this project as an outsider artist and communications specialist and, like most artists, my work is done behind the scenes. In 2010 I chose my weapon and it was the art of flow. Through a series of workshops I attempted to transfer the methods and concepts that transformed my life… Ahem.
The art of flow Over 3 billion years ago deep within the Earth's crust under conditions of intense heat and pressure, carbon atoms crystallised, thereby forming diamonds. People are somehow similar. Many of us surf ‘easy’ through life, unknowing of the mental health issues that burden us and that have plagues our parents, teachers, caretakers.

The art of flow Let’s talk about implementation: Phase 1 : Automatic writing The aim of the activity is to force the mind into a flow state when writing so participants can get rid of unnecessary brain clutter and discover thought strings and patterns that they were unaware of. I worked by segmenting and balancing a sense of control between myself and the participants. I had very little control over the content of their writing but full of control of their environment and conditions : music and positioning. This was structured so it would create manageable distress : messyFirst, it was emphasized that anything goes : they could write as as they wanted, whatever they wanted, even sketch if they wanted. After this, a short pause. I asked them if they were comfortable. They said yes. So, naturally, they had to get up and change their position. In this new seat they found they wrote down a value close to the heart, then were 15 to 20 minutesinvited to write for under this headline. No further instruction. Apart from encouraging them to code-switch : why should you limit yourself to one language when your mind can well bounce between two or more? To finalize, I asked them to write a letter. To someone, to themselves. People enjoyed this activity but it was surely intense. What is more, when applied to large groups that live together, cool-off time is necessary so that the participants can understand the influence so that we can move to phase two.
The art of flow Let’s talk about implementation: Phase 2 : How to draw like an outsider creativityTime to move away from automation and into ! This time I took full control of instruction, but all choice of implementation remained with the individual. Less blah : An informally trained artist knows that as long as you can identify and use your tools, anything goes in the creative process. The looser your foundations, the greater the potential for unorthodox balance. Let’s try and force that out. I identified for them three principles of composition: SIMPLICITY DEPTH BALANCE
The art of flow Phase 2 : How to draw like an outsider Presented them as training principles applied to produce quick full-image composition. Very logical yeah? centre of a pieceAfter finding the true of paper they were asked to place random points on symmetry axesone side of their and approximate them at the same distance on the other side. shape letterThen they were then given pieces of paper with a and a written on them. I asked them to fit their letter using all the points they had drawn on their page. Then, they were to draw their respective shapes within the field of these points. (‘Wait, what the funk’) Finally, they added shadows and a title. After being congratulated for completing an artwork, they put themselves in pairs and were draw each otherasked to, looking at each others’ faces, not their paper. They drew this on the back side of their masterpiece. I let the session come to a natural close and asked for feedback a couple weeks later: participants said that due to precise and fresh instruction they became focused on their drawing and patient in its process. They discovered that their drawing was the means of realizing the potential of their creative drive and thus completing it was the end in itself. Unknown to them we had taken the first step into the art etting go!
The art of flow Phase 3 : Finding flow The reveal! There are aspects to flow that become tools once realized. Realizing mistakes as they happen and fixing them with a calm urgency. Recognizing your strengths and weaknesses; exercising the former as you build up the latter. Minimizing effort and maximizing results. Building trust in the self and therefore in others. Years of pop-up exhibitions and interviews with dedicated artists have taught me that art is only about truth. So in my art and life I have grown to not mind if some appearance is ugly or strange. As long as it is reflecting the true nature of the energy that brings it to life, I feel satisfied. sense of controlFlow art has allowed me to introduce a over the sensation that drives me and therefore the result. If something comes from love it will be beautiful; anger makes everything eratic. Insecurity produces something questionable and strange. All of these creations are points of reference and steps to the next dance: one more pure and trues than the last. The closer we get to love, the closer we get to truth. Love is balanced, deep, simple. Comfortable and exciting at the same time.
The art of flow Phase 3 : Finding flow In this workshop we do desk work for the first half: a piece of paper where words are written down, some discussion about what they mean. Then, a personal touch with a story and connection with the wider principles that allow us to control our life’s flow. personal mantra’sLastly, introduction to the tool of, presentation of a scale of potential depth and implementation through movement. The participants go away from the workshop holding the letters they wrote in the first one. We leave feedback for another day. We sleep easy.
Handcraft
MAKE A BOOKMARK Do you want to surprise your neighbours? Or the people you live with? What a better way to do that than by reusing the materials you have at home and creating little gifts for them. You can use your imagination and if you don’t know very well what to do you can search for it on the internet. There are millions of ideas. A notebook or thick book Colored cardboard Flowers & dried leaves from the ground Scissors Glue stick Transparent adhesive roll Perforator Rope or whatever you have !
MAKE A BOOKMARK Put the dried flowers on a sheet of a notebook or book. After placing the flowers, close the notebook or book, and wait a day or two to reopen it. So, give them time to dry out a little more. Take the cardboard, and measure and cut to make the bases of the bookmarks. Take the adhesive paper, take as reference the measure that we have used previously for the base, and add two centimeters more on each side of it. Cut two equal pieces, because the intention is to plasticize our bookmark. Apply bar glue on the base of cardboard, to fix the dried flowers. You will do it only on one side. Then add the flowers and leaves as we want, making a creative and original design, to our liking. Once you have the finished design, we will plasticize our bookmark. Next, cut the leftover adhesive paper from the sides, leaving a few millimeters of margin, not at the level of the cardboard. With the drill, make a hole in the top, tie up a piece of ribbon, ribbon, or rope.
MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS BALLS If you like Christmas this is your activity. Make an easy and beautiful Christmas ball with the materials that you have at home. Fabric Silicone gun & silicone Scissors Needles Polystyrene balls String
MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS BALLS First of all, take the rope and cut a piece at least 10 centimeters long. Then tie a knot with the rope around the pin. Take the styrofoam ball and can observe a straight line in the middle of it. This line will help you know exactly where the center is. Stick the pin in the center and put some silicone on the needle so it sticks well. Now that you have the base made, take a piece of fabric large enough to cover the ball and more. Preferably square shaped. Take a ball and put it with the string down. Place a piece of cloth on top, squaring the center of the cloth and ball, and pull down the cloth, stretching down well, so that there are as few folds as posible. Pull the fabric to make it look good. To attach the fabric to the ball, we use a piece of strong twine. Finally, choose a ribbon for the outside and make a loop. Cut the leftover fabric, to make it more beautiful.
MAKE A BLANKET If you’re at home and you don’t know what to do, here’s another great idea. This activity is to do in company. If on the other hand you live alone, I encourage you to participate with your neighbours. Old sheets/Fabric/Blanket Scissors Sewing machine or needles Markers or paintings Threads
MAKE A BLANKET Take an old sheet you have at home, preferably white. Cut into equal pieces and spread them among family members, friends, or neighbors. Ask them to draw whatever they feel or like at the time. For this you can use markers, paints or any material that adheres to the fabric and then does not go away easily. Once finished, collect the pieces of fabric. Join the pieces of fabric with the sewing machine or sew it by hand. As you like and within your possibilities. Once you have all the pieces together, add them to another large piece of fabric you have with the sewing machine or by hand.
Media workshop
Nowadays it is very important to have skills in social media, the world is changing and sharing what we do with the world is very important to get noticed. Our volunteers organized a media creation workshop, they learnt how to use manual mode on a camera. PortWith these new skills they created great content for the social media of “ of Call”, they leave you some of the knowledge they got for you to learn and apply on your projects! How a camera works Shutter speed ISO Aperture
APERTURE High aperture Low aperture lightAperture is the size of the hole that allows the to enter the sensor. You can control it's size, the wider it is (f1.5), the brighter your image will be and least area can be on focus. On the other side, the narrower it is (f22), less light will come in and you will get darker images with more objects on focus.
ISO Low ISO High ISO ISO stands for \"International Organization for Standardization\", and it regulates the amount of pixels that will be available for light to be fixed in the image. Less Pixels less bright(ISO 100) means less pixels available so a sharper image and. By contrast more pixels (ISO 6400) means that light will be in contact with more points so we will noise.get a brighter image even in dark environments but with big dots that we call
SHUTTER SPEED Low shutter speed High shutter speed exposed to lightShutter speed is the length of time when the camera's sensor is. The longer it is open (Shutter 30\" seconds), the more light will go in so we will get a very bright continuous movementimage with, or a blurry one. Opposed to this, if you shorten the very statictime of exposure (Shutter 1/2000) you will get less light in your image and and focused pictures.
Education
ORAL PRESENTATION One of the biggest challenges in showing confidence is speaking in front of other people. This workshop gives first general insights into presenting and provides some techniques and tools for better presentations. The workshop starts with an “energizer”, followed by a presentation to introduce and finalizes with an exercise. Energizer : Ask the participants to stand up, make some refreshing movements and find a comfortable position (Ideally legs at least hip-width, straight back; crossed arms and hands in the pants are not allowed) in which they could stand for approx. one hour – these positions are demonstrating the easiest way to find a confident body-position for presenting.
ORAL PRESENTATION Bullet points Preparation If you have prepared your topic/ presentation confidentproperly you will be more because you are an expert and you are prepared for every question from the audience. Structure Try to follow the dramatical principle for your presentation (Introduction, elaboration, climax, conclusion/solution; This is more or less a common structure, which has been proven many times, but you can adjust it or be subversive if you have a good idea) Methods You can try several techniques, methods or tools for your presentation but consider that they fit the subject. For example: If it is possible do not implement random energizers. Better try methods that somehow relate to the topic (as the energizer in this workshop) Framing storiesHuman brains are wired to listen to ; they get attracted by emotions. Frame your subject into a story in your introduction. Development It is indeed an unrewarding tip but try to gain as experiencemuch in presenting as you can. It’s totally fine to be nervous – people expect you to be nervous – use this energy and transform it into something good.
ORAL PRESENTATION Specific tips Visuals Body-Position don’t moveMovement : to much in front of an audience (imagine a small inverted triangle in which you can move). Gestures : try a variety of gestures and underline statements with it (but don’t overdo it, people could get distracted); avoid powerpoint presentations, your speech is enough impression (if you use it, just use bullet points). You can also use a whiteboard. Acoustics try to speak low (from the stomach), slow (gives you pausesalso more to think while you are talking) and loud. freelyTry to speak (maybe you can try at the beginning with a sheet of bullet points). Keep the content of your talk (especially the simplegrammar, the semantics) as as possible.
ORAL PRESENTATION Your presentation doesn’t have to be perfect and doesn’t have to be “emotional” to get your audience's attention. We shouldn’t try to make every subject as emotional as it may be possible. We should think more neutral on subjects, so we can evaluate them more clearly. Every subject is interesting by itself, you just have to find the right (maybe your personal) angle to make it interesting. Exercice Team up in pairs. Your goal is to have a small (1-2 minute) presentation on your partner using the presented techniques. Prepare/research the subject (examine your partner), create a presentation/ a speech and present it afterwards in front of the group. How was the experience for us It was lovely to summarize the experience I have gained over the years as a teacher trainee and pass it on to the group. I noticed that the group were interested in the subject and that they also participated actively. During the feedback, I was asked to give even more specific tips but here's the thing : Of course specifics help to get the best possible outcome of your talk. But the most essential tip: just try and don’t focus too much on the details. Step by step you’ll naturally become a charismatic presenter in your own way. Philipp
SLIDESHOW PRESENTATION Everyone is able to make a slideshow, it’s super easy. But it has to be well done to improve comprehension, memorisation of the message and also make easier focusnote taking. It allows to keep your audience, underline the important infor and avoid too many notes. There are a few rules to respect to make your presentation better. - Make an adapted slide - Structure the slideshow - Execute in a good way your slideshow
Slideshow Presentation Make an adapted slide 1 slide = 1 idea There are 2 levels of reading title- the which is clear and gives information message- the which express the main idea in 6 points. Choose short & precise sentences (6 to 8 words) Information has to be visible Use maximum 2 fonts, except if you want to make a \"surprise effect\" Some fonts are better to read from far away - Font with serif for developpement : Times New Roman... - Font without serif for title : Arial, Helvetica The size of the font has to adapt to the projection : 25 30between (with serif), the reader (sans serif) and shouldn't make effort to read Images which helps for the transmission of the message Images are not just to make the slideshow beautiful, commentedthey help to argue. Each image has to be . Placing the image on the left & text on the right makes the text more a comment. In the other way, the image is more an illustration of the text. They help to reduce the text and create a kind of memoriesdynamism. It can also help for all types of (visual, auditory).
Slideshow Presentation Structure the slideshow Title SuSmummamrayry Introduction Conclusion Sources
Slideshow Presentation Title It is the first slide to present the subject. On the slide should appear : name of author date association/organization/university (it can be a logo)
Slideshow Presentation Structure the slideshow Introduction The introduction awakes the curiosity of your audience. It can be 1 to 4 slides to present it. It can be for exposing the principal elements of the problematic or just present the main goals of the presentation. Small tip You can start by a quote, or an interrogation that fits with the subject to raise curiosity
Slideshow Presentation Structure the slideshow Conclusion The title of the conclusion has to be… conclusion, it’s not necessary to put a slide to thank people. Don’t forget that the last slide is the last impression that you leave to your audience. It has to be meticulous Sources the last slide is about sources : where you found all the infos for your presentation & slide (for images etc)
Slideshow Presentation Execute the slideshow Look facingat the audience, put the computer you so that you have the control and still look at them. It allows you to see your time and know what’s next developUse the slide to the arguments, but it’s not just reading the slide. Synchronise the speech with slideshow (make text appears at the same time) team workWhen having a slide for a, the best is to make the one that speak clicking on the slides, except if you know the text of the other person. printYou can also your slide for your audience for long and complicated presentations.
GENDER BASED VIOLENCE According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 3 women and girl experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, most frequently by an intimate partner. It’s important to talk about violence to recognize and eliminate them.
Difference between conflict and violence The term \"violence against women\" means any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life” The first thing to understand is the difference between conflict and violence. Conflict A conflict can happen in every relationship. It can be a dispute about the children or the holidays, but it is always a situation of compromise, debate, discussion. No one is afraid of the other, it is what we call a “democratic couple”. Violence inequalityWhen there is violence, there is . It is a situation of control, affective dependence and at the same time devaluation of the person. It’s a situation dominationof from one of the partners on the other one and the children. This is what we call a What is consent ? totalitarian couple. To understand it you can watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=pZwvrxVavnQ&feature=youtu.be
Gender based violence It can be economical, administrative, psychological, gynecological, physical or sexual. Gender based violence can be represented as an iceberg \"Violence against women is the only tip of the iceberg, underneath that exists discrimination of all kinds\" B.K. Roy, MASWAV Member Murder Rape & sexual abuse Physical & emotional abuse Control & threats Leadership barriers Gender pay gap Glass ceilling Degrading language Sexualisation of women Rigid traditional roles Sexist comments & jokes
How can you recognize or prevent a situation of abusive relationship? In most of the abusive relationships, there are some mechanism that we can recognize - Intensity - Possessiveness - Manipulation - Isolation - Sabotage - Belittling - Guilting - Volatility - Deflecting responsibility - Betrayal
What can I say to a victim? The goal is to reverse the mechanism of violence. You can learn some phrases that are important when you speak with a victim. I BELIEVE YOU YOU DID WELL TO TELL ME ABOUT IT YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, HE IS THE CULPRIT THE LAW PROHIBITS IT I CAN HELP YOU
How to deal with social anxiety ? Social anxiety is expected to become more popular because of the Covid-19 pandemic, isolation and social restrictions. As we distressmay or may not know, social anxiety is described as a worryand that occurs in social contexts. It can happen any time, when you have an interview or when you have a phone call, when you go shopping, or when you are going to a party and have symptoms such as blushing, pounding heart, nause, urge to escape, sweating, hyperventilation, difficulty concentrating or shaking. The activity is designed as a self-guide, an introduction to the tools that can be largely used by anyone in need. Besides the theoretical information, there are many reflection questions and tasks that are to be done individually and, if wanted, discussed in the group. Material : A4 piece of paper and pen.
How to deal with social anxiety ? Negative thoughts Think about the negative images and thoughts you have that make you feel anxious about social situations and write down the negative predictions you have about what others think of you. Avoidance Think about any social situation that you avoided because of your fear of being judged negatively by others and write it down. Core beliefs Reflect on the way past memories influenced your current beliefs (for example memories of being bullied could make one feel unlikeable and inferior)
Safety behaviours Pick from the list below the safety behaviours you use in social situations : using alcohol not making eye contact not contributing to discussions/ meetings asking a lot of questions so you do not need to disclose personal information perfectionistic behavior such as over- preparation.

Recycling During the two months the volunteers stayed in Porto Rafti, they implemented a recycling system to avoid having so much food waste. They also created with old palettes and some planning a composter for the food scraps of their meals. First you should find different bins where you can divide your trash by : Normal Trash (Undifferentiated) Fish, Meat, Citrus, Lemon, Dairy, Sauces, oils Recycling check your own country’s regulations, our infographic is adapted for Greece Compost Fruits, Vegetables, Uncooked Scraps, Coffee Powder, Bread, Egg Shells, Tea. Bellow you can see the infographics they created as guides! Maybe is time to be more sustainable too at home!
