We walked through the city. We visited the market,  that was packed with diferrent spices, drinks, clothes, accessories, handbags, fruits, vegetables and many other things. Then we went to a restaurant and the food there was absolutley delicious. We visited the Memorial ACTe Museum, and it made me realise  how lucky I am, to be free and that I too often take this for granted, but the path to what we have today was difficult and steep for our ancestors. And I realised that we should really be more gratefull for the things we have in our life. Not everyone has had this luck. All in all it was a really  nice and succesfull day for me.

I feel both impressed (by the way the museum was created) and depressed (by what we have done, are doing and will do?).
 
At the same time as Science and the Church in Europe had their principles about what is right and wrong, what is good and bad and so on … could the people of that time treat people like animals. Didn’t all the fine words mean anything? How is it today? Are we still treating some people badly due to their ethnicity, religion or culture? I guess you already know the answer … Do we have some responsibility for the way people are being treated today? Of course!!! We can change a lot by the way we are voting or how we are consuming. If we knew how things we buy are produced, would we buy them then? If we do not know, is it not our responsibility to find out?

Discovering sites that are connected with the history and remembrance of slavery (or eny other exploitation of human being) is always shocking for me. It provided me fuller understanding of the island’s past but it made me also think how this past is influencing the present life and what are the tangible evidence of it. 

Once agan I was shocked how big can be the gap people who have the power to decide make between people who should be equal in any aspect. The words of Napoleon »The freedom is the food which slaves stomaks are not used to« horrified me. I agree that the resistance should be a human right especialy in the nowadays slavery. That is why I really liked the idea of the tree of forgiveness which represents the resistant and is growing next to the master's house. We do have a power – as an individual or as a nation.

Music connects, brings people together. With music you can express things that you cannot or should not say. Music comforts and let’s forget everything in hopeless situations and all this is expressed in dancing and playing. It overcomes borders and people of different backgrounds find common ground here. Through different varieties, different traditions and different origins, the music is constantly expanding. It is not possible to forget one's origins and traditions, they live in one and emerge from the music.

Other arts, such as painting, clothing and jewelry, are the best way to express and consolidate one's culture, one's own heritage. No human cruelty can erase this, because one never forgets what he has learned and experienced.
 
And so we should take our opportunity as teachers, especially through the different cultures of our students, to motivate them, to play their music, to wear their jewelry with pride and to incorporate these differences into the classroom in order to achieve the feeling of community and to strengthen.
We are responsible for ensuring that such cruelties do not happen again. It is essential for us to constantly remember and be aware of this responsibility. 
 
It is almost unbearable how guilty different cultures have been in all ages and what they were capable of. How much suffering was caused only for profit and how long it actually lasted.
It is so important to pass this on to our students as multipliers and to make them aware that they must preserve their inheritance.

This visit also gave me the opportunity to discover historical and cultural aspects of Guadalupe.

Most of all, today’s discussions made it clear how powerful an instrument our cultural background is to understand myself and the others.
