Arts Lab 7.0: Kerem Cam | Month II

I think we are the most creative Arts Lab group ever existed until now. We can work together, try new things, and we are able to get successful results. Even though we have conflicts, I love these people and I am really amazed how we are working together. I don’t like the topic we are doing right now, but I love how we are describing this to students as making a group performance. I learn something here: how I express my feelings freely and how not to be a robot and do different types of artwork like the other ones did.

I created a very meaningful video game with students even though they are losing focus very fast and sometimes don’t want to attend. I truly understand them. If you are able to understand those children you must wear the shoes they have. And after that point you will understand how they are feeling.

For the future I know working as a group is a hard thing to do, but we are trying and this is the most important thing to do: sit at a table and express what we are feeling. And if some conflicts happen, we are always friends. I think our souls are more adult than what we are showing outside.

Kerem Cam is from Turkey, and he is participating in a three-month volunteering program within Arts Lab 7.0, a project co-funded by the European Union through the European Solidarity Corps.
