    Task about group identity.

    ---------------------------

    Our identity is not only done through documents, but also through the way each person sees, perceives the other and the others perceive us.

    Identity is built throughout our life. In addition to physical characteristics, each person is forming its way to be with your taste and mood.

    Each can develop their identity in the moment you pass to make choices, like clothes you wear, the color of your preference, the foods they like best, friends, etc.

    It is very important to learn to live with differences and respect them, because each person has his way of being (physical or emotional) and has the right to make different choices for your life.

    After the workshop, two Roma students spoke about his life in the village and the school. I photographed them on the recording, but the recording is poor and unrecognizable, I'll try to translate what they said:

     Am Isat, although I am a Roma have some problems, especially in school. All are treated so well behaved. They helped me to learn something when I do not understand, and teachers and students. Once in the village some people can be unpleasant, they say bad word or make me want to get out, but only some, not otherwise.

    I am Rosalinda, Roma. Croatian I understand, but I do not understand everything at school. We all help and love to go to school because my friends there. I love to play in the drama group, all are good to me.
