Time:
The exercise in this module can be completed in about 30 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing about 45 minutes for this module.
Aims:
• To encourage people to reflect on the assumptions we make and the labels we attach to people.
• To understand that there is more to people than what we see on the surface.
Group Size:
This module can be used with groups of almost any size.
Useful For:
Staff at all levels.
You'll Need:
For each Team 1:
• A selection of photographs of random people from those provided. (You’ll need about six different people.)
• A money box or envelope for each of the six photographs.
• Several pairs of scissors. (Ideally, one for each member of team 1.)
For each Team 2:
• A copy of the same six photographs provided to Team 1.
• A syndicate room, or other space to work in away from Team 1.
Notes:
This module requires careful and sensitive facilitation. Make sure you avoid photographs that could be construed to represent specific individuals in the group. For example, if you have a group of predominantly young people with one elderly man, avoid using the photograph of the older man. And carefully observe conversations, particularly within the sub-teams of Team 1 to ensure that in the unlikely event that language is used that is inappropriate and not conducive to learning, or which expresses views that are unacceptable or distressing to others, you’re in a position to curtail it.
