Day 2 - #CSA

Tuesday - 05.07.

What a day!

What impressed me the most is when Philipp Blom talked about moral crisis. He talked about moral crisis in the past but I couldn't help myself not to think about nowadays. Are we dealing and witness moral crisis right now? What did we learn from the past? Anything or nothing? Kind a deep conversation I had in my mind... 

#CSA2016 - what should I tell my kids? Why we haven't learned a lot from our past?

My first CSA

I just want to express some emotions and feelings after the first day of CSA2016: surprised, excited, overwhelmed by the agenda of the next days.

Very interesting and varied people but all with the similar goals: to improve our teaching methods, teach respect and tolerance and give the Holocaust the role of unique event in the history of mankind.

Hello Vienna!

Sunday - 03.07.

Fly me to the moon... One of my favourite songs ever! That's the sign that I will hit the road again. I'm saying goodbye to my parents and looking forward to my new and old friends in the CSA 2016.

Vienna is rainy but still very beautiful and special. Passing by Belvedere Museum, walking to the hotel, laughing for myself because i've been here two years ago and I have a lot of nice memories... :)
