To be done:

IN PLENARY

DURATION:

0-30 min

OBJECTIVES:

To create a smooth atmosphere
To introduce the topic of the workshop using non formal methods

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:

A4 paper cut in half lengthwise, pens

STEP BY STEP PROCESS:

Participants are given piece of A4 paper cut in half lengthwise each and sit in a circcle. The facilitator asks each one of the participants, referring to the topic of the workshop, to answer questions “who”, “where”, “when”, “with who”, “doing what” in a funny way. You can add other questions and change them to match better the theme you choose. After answering question nr 1 the group is asked to roll the paper so that the answer is not seen and that there is space left for an answer to question nr 2 below. Then they pass the paper to the neighbour on the right. The next question is asked and answered and so on. When all the questions are answered, the papers are exchanged once more, unfolded and read in turns to produce surprising and hilarious sentences, useful to start a more general discussion on the topic led by the facilitator.

OUTCOMES:

The chaperons create a smooth atmosphere within the group before starting the workshop and they take the opportunity to introduce the topic focusing the questions on the theme developed.

EVALUATION:

No evaluation is foreseen for this exercise
