To be done:

IN PLENARY

DURATION:

30-60 min

OBJECTIVES:

To provide opportunity to present oneself to the group in a creative and unstructured way

METHODOLOGY:

Every proposed activity (simulations, games, knowing each other games, sharing in small groups…) mainly aims at building an experience that can become a suggestion , a metaphorical bridge towards new activities and future experiences, keeping on growing and exploring. The active methodology refers to the development of the human being, as a process without a specific age span, but as continue evolution, based on lifelong learning.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES NEEDED:

Could be done outdoor in the nature as well as indoors. There should be some preferably natural objects in the environment

STEP BY STEP PROCESS:

People go for an individual exploration of the environment and they need to find any symbol, which would help person to present oneself to the group. Thus the symbol should be somehow connected with the person (character features, values, professions, etc.) Exploration may last 15-20 minutes.
Afterwards participants gather in the circle and present themselves, using the symbol. Later on, the symbols might be put in some nice place all together or hanged on the tree with strings.

OUTCOMES:

The chaperons introduce her/himself and at the same time know the group of youngsters in order to create a smooth atmosphere before starting the workshop.

EVALUATION:

No evaluation is foreseen for this exercise.
