Exercise, Group Building Activity
To understand the diversity within the group and use it as a tool to taste the diversity in Paris
To let the participants recognise and share their personal identity with others
To let the participants experience the diversity and richness in the group
To create the TC group identity
Step 1: Reflect on culture and level of personal knowledge:
-Different music tracks are presented to the participants in plenary asking them to figure out the origin of the music.
-Different pictures are presented to the participants asking them to connect the pictures with one of the three cultures (Islam, Judaism and Christianity).
-In the same way of the plenary presentation, the participants are asked to recognize the origin of words through EuroMed countries.
-The participants are asked to write on an individual piece of paper 5 elements closely related to their identity. The exercise is individual and so enough time should be given to reflection.
Step 2: Sharing and arriving to the group common Bistro of identity:
The participants join into groups of five and share their individual papers. Each group has to reach a compromise and decide for the values representing the culture of its five members.
Each group receives then an element of the bistro (chairs, table, waiters, tray, drawn on flipcharts papers) on which they can write down the selected elements.
The point is to come up with a bistro symbolizing the different components the participants identify as relevant to create a TC group identity
