A walk by Lake Balaton

“I could already hear the techno music from a distance. I was wandering quietly along the banks of Lake Balaton when my eyes suddenly fell upon a bunch of young people, romping around and spraying each other with water to the booming beat of techno music.“
“I could already hear the techno music from a distance. I was wandering quietly along the banks of Lake Balaton when my eyes suddenly fell upon a bunch of young people, romping around and spraying each other with water to the booming beat of techno music. They seemed, however, to have reached the pinnacle of their ecstasy, because a short while later everything went quiet and the group moved slowly towards the shore.

Their energy had dissipated and they had fallen so deeply into their new feeling of group belonging, that they all waded towards the bank in a rather dreamlike-state and in a neat formation. The group-building activities for the getting-to-know-you week-end for first semester students from Budapest seemed to have fulfilled its purpose.“

The workshop with Julia Baier takes place in Hamburg at 30 and 31 January 2016. More information and registration at www.lfi-online.de/workshops.
