4 ways to have the best APOW residential:
1- Make sure everything is in order: On the 18th of November APOW went for the autumn residential. We were so excited to finish college and have a a weekend full of fun with the most amazing people of the whole world. We had an interesting start to the weekend by arranging the groups for cooking and other activities.
2- Explore different cultures through food: We experienced a taste of a Syrian dish which tasted so good. We all worked together as a family- we did the cleaning and tidying up of the place as well as planning for our next event on the 10th of December about Human Rights.
3- Involve drama, Dance and visual art activities: We did drama in which we presented different characters to show different emotions such as happiness, sadness and fear. Along with the drama acts an incredible dance performance was presented to show the connection among the group. Not to forget the amazing work and ideas shared by the visual arts crew.
4- Invite others to make it even better: The Brighter Futures group visited and had lunch with us at the residential in Kent, where they taught the whole group of us how to play different games. These games were new, which made it interesting and made all of us participate in order to learn them ourselves.
All in all it was a lovely weekend I thoroughly enjoyed my self… amazing!!!
