20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

The title says it all. This workshop dealt with the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9. It featured a short film called Freedom Without Walls, a documentary film that portrays young people living and working in Berlin nowadays as they explain how the fall of the Berlin Wall has shaped their lives and the city they live in. The film was followed by few reflections of how some of the older guests experienced the rise and fall of the wall, and more details of the cultural aspect of West and East Berlin. One of the guest speakers actually lived in Berlin and vividly remembered when the Wall was built when he was only eight years old. I think the main point of the workshop was to make the audience aware of all the different personal experience at the time and now. Over all it was a great informative workshop.
