Flying with Diller- Cohort 18 workshop 2!

Our third workshop of the year began with a brief oys and joys check in. Although we (cohort 18) were all a little nervous to meet cohort 17 for the first time, sitting in a circle and sharing the ups and downs of our week before we met them broke the ice and revealed a (not surprising) bonding trend that most of us had oys involving homework. 

Once our initial warm up was over, the doors were opened and we met cohort 17 for the first time. They were all very warm and welcoming, and lead us in a series of ice breakers like standing in an inner/outer circle formation and talking one-on-one with them in a sort of speed-dating like rotation. They patiently answered any and all of our questions/concerns that we had around Diller, and tried to clear up a little bit what the Diller program would be like in the future (it sounds exciting but at this point is still mysterious). 

Cohort 17 then led us in activities involving their TOSS workshop, in which we had to plan how we would adapt to a program that didn’t work out. After some more bonding with our older counterparts, we said our goodbyes with a woosh of good energy

We then had a presentation by Shachar Gilad, a pilot, who explained to us qualities needed to be the leader of an aircraft, and lead us in an activity simulating emergency scenarios a pilot might face in real life. After wooshing him goodbye, we sat down and (in typical Diller fashion) reflected on the day. 

-Noa, cohort 18
