The pfingstLAB 2024, the second self-organized seminar of the youth advisory board, took place this year from May 17th to 20th.
Following last year's Pentecost LAB, which focused on the theme of "Identity(ies)," this year's seminar centered on "Body and Mind." Participants explored various aspects related to mental and physical health.
After an initial get-together on Friday, during which the house and the youth council were introduced, the group got down to business on Saturday. The morning began with a presentation on mental health, focusing primarily on stress and stress management. The afternoon was more creative, with a painting workshop led by Justus Kiese, a member of the youth council.
On Sunday, the focus was particularly on physical health. nutrition , and some even went canoeing on the lake. In the afternoon, the youth advisory board organized a Barcamp with the group, giving everyone the opportunity to offer their own mini-workshops. These included dance, writing, meditation, open discussions, law workshop , and a drag workshop. The final day began with presentations of the Barcamps. The group also participated in a guided visualization exercise in the nearby forest sensory awareness exercises.
Finally, everyone reflected on the past few days together. Overall, it was a wonderful seminar from which everyone gained valuable insights. A big thank you to the volunteer members of the youth advisory board who organized this fantastic weekend.
