    "Notions of Identity" Workshop
    Exploring Definitions, Ideas and Practices
    Organised by: Gap Year College

    Thursday, 29th May to sunday, 1st June 2008 (4 days)

    The identity workshop has been designed to examine our notions of identity and how they affect our lives at a minute, everyday level. The consciousness "I am" does not allow us to escape the question, "Who am I?" However, our responses to this question are largely implicit and automatic. The purpose of this workshop is to make conscious what might have become automatic or unconsious.

    To understand processes behind the construction of identities in some sense to understand how we are currently functioning in our lives. Unconscious or unexamined identities make us do the things we do, think the way we think, fell the way we feel, and enter into conflicts in ways that are reflected our world.
