Workshop Outline
Kim Feinberg, Foundation for Tolerance Education, South Africa:
"Universal lessons through history"
The presentation is built on the thought process that in all that happens we can take out a valuable lesson from it no matter how horrific the event is. We have events in all of our lives and pain is def. relative to the person who is going through it. The only way to grow from this is to find meaning and understanding from the event - as Victor Frankl teaches. This meaning is different to each person. Before we can do this we need to understand the underlying thought process and meaning of some fundamental issues, i.e. What is tolerance? What does it mean to be responsible? Do we always have a choice? etc. These are values that we try look at in the workshop. We look at Apartheid, Rwanda and Holocaust.
