Peacecamp 2010

Hi, I am Lia Böhmer.

I live, study, discuss, have fun, chat, love, go out, hang out, chill, listen to music, SLEEP, lie in the grass, meet friends and do many other things in Vienna.
I have been at the very first peacecamp(s). Since the beginning i saw it getting bigger, better and more and more important!
I am really looking forward to meet you all! I am sure we will have a great time together!
So, see you soon!

Ich heiße Katja Rainer und weiß, dass es so viele „richtige“ Wege wie Menschen gibt –
aus meiner Arbeit als Beraterin für Menschen und Organisationen.
Große Freude bereitet es mir, gemeinsam mit Euch zu erforschen, wie
aus den unterschiedlichen „richtigen“ Wegen neue gemeinsame Ideen
und Handlungsmöglichkeiten entstehen.
Während des peace-camps bin ich verantwortlich für die Großgruppe,
die an jedem Vormittag stattfindet und die wir dafür nützen wollen.
Zurzeit habe ich wegen einer Heilbehandlung keine Haare auf dem Kopf.

My name is Katja Rainer and I know, that there are as many „correct“ roads as there are people –
from my work as a consultant for people and organizations.
I enjoy very much to explore together with you, how from this many different “correct” roads new shared ideas and possibilities emerge.
During the peace-camp I am responsible for the large group, which will take place every morning and which we will use for this exploration.
At the moment there is no hair on my head because of medical treatment.

Hallo,
I am Gerald Muthsam; I am 38 years old and come from the region in Austria, where peacecamp is taking place.

For 8 years I have been working as an artist. I have conducted the outdoor-, as well as the film-and-video workshops on the last three peacecamps.

This time, I will again create a video documentation of the peacecamp as I did in the previous years and conduct a few outdoor games with you if you want.


The three previous peacecamps were a fantastic experience and I am very much looking forward to meeting you this summer.

See you soon

Gerald

Hi, my name is Angelika Kisser-Maayan, I come from Austria and I am married to an Israeli, David - you will meet him, too. We have two children, and for the moment we live
in Vienna. I am a theater artist and drama therapist, I work with people of all ages, colours and religions, sometimes in different languages, sometimes even without language.
I believe, that we learn from everyone, and every meeting is important. I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and to starting to create together. See you soon!





Shalom, Salam, Ahoi, Servus, and hi, I am David Maayan and I am married to an austrian you met before. I am a theater maker, and I create, teach and direct here in Europe and in Israel a lot. I like to create a kind of theater full of surprises and originality. I also like to invite people to places made especially for them, I like to gather people, to meet and to pass each other stories, jokes, food, songs, knowledge and friendship.
I am exited to meet you all.

When I was born, my parents called me Ronny, and this name has not changed since.

So first have a look on the photograph: It was taken in Israel, en route between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. The camel in front was in danger of tilting over, but I held him and succeeded in keeping him in an upright position.

And this is exactly my job on the peacecamp: I have to take care that things are running smoothly and that everything needed is just in time at the required place. But with your help I will achieve this goal.

Please do not hesitate to contact me in case you need something. Maybe I can be of help - who knows?

Looking forward to peacecamp no. 8 and to meeting you all.
See you soon...

Da Jia Hao! (Hello everybody, in Chinese). My name is Sun Sun ,I come from Singapore and love brought me to Vienna and I am living here since 8 years with my family. Here we are, Sun Sun, Andi and Apollo. I am an actress, singer and I also work with immigrants, asylant seekers, big people, small people. I want to live in a world of non-discrimination, where I am surrounded by different cultures, languages and believes. Most importantly, that my child and children all over the world can live in peace and the earth, a healthy planet where everyone can grow and enjoy the beauty of the world. I believe our participation in the camp together will bring us closer to my dream and I look forward to meet you all. A warm hug to you until then!

My name is Walter Mathes, I live in Vienna with my wife, two children (girl 14, boy 7) and two cats. I work as a cartoonist, actor and art therapist all over austria. To be invited to be with you in the peacecamp is a great honour for me. I’m looking foreward to experience by the young people about their stories, families and cultures. I believe, the best way to do this is common creative doing and loughing together. And I like both: coffee and tea.

I am Evelyn, inventor of the peacecamp project, and these are my beliefs:

1. Every person on earth deserves to live in freedom and peace
2. Nobody is to be held accountable for somebody else's misdeeds
3. People can change their opinions, their views, their beliefs if they are willing to look at things through their own eyes
4. There are many problems in the world and as many solutions
5. Solutions are sometimes found where we don't expect to find them
6. You don't make peace with friends, but with enemies
7. When enemies make peace they don't necessarily become friends
8. In wars you can only lose, in peace you can only win
9. All people and nations can coexist in mutual respect, freedom and equality
10. Peace, freedom and love are the most valuable things in life
