Peacecamp 2006

My name is Ulrike Morocutti,I live in Vienna since 1986 and have a lovely
daughter,called Eva.Together we had the interesting experience to live for
more than two years in London.Since then (1990)I am teaching at GRg17
Parhamerplatz in Vienna,the subjects are sports,psychology and lately
ethics.At one weekend workshop I heard about the peacecamp-project and
Evelyn gave me the opportunity to see the film about the last camp.
I am very glad about the possibility for our students to join this one in
Pölla,because I am sure that their participation will be an experience for
life.

3. JULIA ROMAUCH
Where can I start? I was born in Vienna on the 20th of March. I was my parents' first child and they named me JULIA. During my childhood I moved around very often and switched schools four times. When I was five years old my parents divorced. My father had two more daughters who are now nine and five years old. I see my half-sisters very often and we have a good relationship with eath other. I go to school at Parhamerplatz, which is very close to the apartement where I live together with my mother. I have too many hobbies but I'll try to list the most important ones. I enjoy reading, listening to musik, drawing, singing, dancing, taking pictures with my camera and most of all talking and laughing!!!!! I love to be spend time with my friends and they are really important to me.

4. VERONIcA LION
Hello!
I am VERONIcA. I live in Vienna and go to school at Parhamerplatz, where I attend
the bilingual class (english/german). My parents come from Prague, which means that
I can speak Czech as well.
At the moment I am 16 years old, but as my birthdate falls into july, I will be 17
in the peacecamp.
I have one younger brother called David, who sometimes really gets on my nerves, but
all in all he is very cute.
In my freetime, which doesn't occur very often, as I have to work for school very
much, I love to draw, read, play the piano, dance or simply relax doing nothing.
With my friends I like to go to the cinema (watching psycho thrillers) or hang
around chatting and having fun.
I also like rain very much and the forest near where I live.
I participate in this peacecamp, because my paternal side of my family is jewish and
I want to find out more about my roots. Since my early childhood I was confronted
with the cruelties of the Second World War, as it has always been a big topic in our
family as well as for our friends. I am still searching for an explanation that can
tell me why something that horrible could ever happen, and I hope to be able to find
more about it.
However I am really excited about the camp, what we will do and what kind of people
I will meet.
Bye for now...

Curriculum vitae
My name is Cathrine Zaknun, I am 16 years old and I live in Vienna.
I was born on the 30th of august in 1989 in Innsbruck, there I spent the
first years of my life before at the age of 3 me and my family moved to
Boston Massachusetts.
There I attended kindergarden and Pre-school.
At the age of 6 we came back to Austria and I started school in a public
primary school in Innsbruck. Two years later we moved to Vienna and I
completed My Primary Period at the Vienna International School. After
Primary-school I left VIS to start at my secondary career at The Kollegium
Kalksburg, a private catholic secondary school. At the moment I am grade 10
of secondary school.

My Personality:

I am a very open minded and universally interested and educated person who
laves to have fun and is always open for a joke as long as they is inside
the tolerated boarder.
I love to cook, do sports, read, and as all youngsters I love to go out with
friends.
My little deficits are: I only keep tidy if its absolutely required, I am
very forgetfully and slightly undisciplined with getting my work done on
time, but usually pricks get me to do everything that needs to be done.

9. RAFI KROPIUNIGG
Über mich
Hello campers! I'm going to be joining you for a couple of days to help out with the research program. Currently I'm undertaking an internship at the ‘Austrian Foundation for World Population & International Cooperation.' During my stay I'm going to do some stalking a.k.a. documenting the process of the camp - investigating relationships between groups and so on and so forth. Some of you'll be interviewed by me. I'm very keen on meeting you! I recently graduated from the Vienna International School. As I've read in some of your statements, a few of you survived the IB. I suppose we have something in common there. Now that I graduated I am fluctuating between two options; either staying in Vienna to study law or go to SOAS/King's College London to study Politics/Geo. The pic above portrays a typical winter's day in Austria - on the right hand side you can see me next to my friend Bob. That leads us straight to my hobbies. Most passionate about Snowboarding and Rugby’s also one of my favourite, however my last game left me unconcious, so I think my rugby career is over for now. Traveling is another big priority of mine. That's all really. Enjoy this camp and see you there! Cheerio!

10/b Ha'ári st, Jerusalem, Israel Dear all My name is Uri Amit; I was born in Israel and grew up in kiryat Shmona. A small town, at the very north city in Israel. As a kid, I became familiar with the social and economical problems of Israel as they were reflected in the development city. As a teenager I was an active member in Hashomer Hazair youth movement (a social democrat organization) and as a leader I had the opportunity to join and lead peace camps in different parts in Europe. As a group leader and as a coordinator in Hashomer Hazair I was working with kids and teenagers and had the chance to go through significant processes. I was serving in the Israeli army, first as a fighter and then as part of a team, that was working on a social project that tries to motivate teenagers from development cities and destroyed families to be part of the Israeli society by joining a special unit in the army. After the army, I have started my long romance with education and traveling. I was sent as a representative of the state of Israel to different places around the world to lead and supervise educational projects, took part in different youth seminars worldwide ( in the fields of conflict resolution and mediation ). Meanwhile I had the chance to travel around Asia (china, Mongolia, Tibet, U.S.S.R, Thailand, Nepal etc ) Oceania ( Australian and new Zealand ) America ( both north and south) and Europe. I was swimming with piranhas, climbing the Everest, hiking along volcanoes and try to get the best out what the world has to offer. In between I had the chance to experience some political issues as I was function as the field manager and as the spokesman of "Meretz" party (a left wing, social democrat party) In the last 2 years, I was living and working in Vienna, Austria as a "Shaliach" (assembly) of Hashomer Hazair and representative of the "Jewish agency". Now I am living in Jerusalem, Israel and doing my B.A in anthropology and sociology. During the camp, I will be responsible for the outdoor activities and try to make you all happy by playing the guitar and cook some delicious outdoor receipts. Wish us all a great experience and wait to see you there Yours Uri Amit amituriAT012.net.il Jerusalem israel

I am Evelyn, I have been living in Israel as well as in Austria and am both, Austrian and Israeli. I was born shortly after World War II and spent many of my childhood years wondering how human beings had let the Holocaust happen, how it was possible that human beings would persecute, discriminate or even murder other people because of their faith, origin or religion. I always wanted to understand what caused wars and how one could prevent them. In spite of the fact that I was not at all gifted in art, I used to participate each year in drawing contests about a "United Europe" and would draw maps of Europe with no borders between the countries.

I saw the iron curtain fall, and I am now witnessing my childhood dream become true: A United Europe.

This confirms my belief that great political changes can occur and that our world can become more peaceful, more tolerant, more friendly and more peaceful.

I have a 16 years old daughter, Lia.
I would very much want her and her generation all over the world to become more open, more friendly and more respectful towards other people, regardless of their origins, religion or believes. I believe that each single person is responsible for shaping our world and can contribute to making the world a home for every person and people.

I believe in the encounter of different groups and people as a way to explore the differences, as well as the similiarities, between nations, people and religions and to discover how complex and rich the world is because of the many different people who live in it.
