Exercise, Group Building Activity
The Money Box
This exercise allows you to bring out and raise awareness among the participant boys and girls of the resources owned and how these resources may represent a wealth always available which you can use at any time.
Aims of the tool
- To raise awareness about the own resources, knowledge, skills and attitudes
- To develop self - assessment skills related with the key competences in the context of non formal learning
Description of the tool
The trainer / facilitator / mentor reproduces the design of the money box and coins
on the flip chart. Then asks participants to draw the money box on a blank sheet of
paper and to write on each coin a characteristic or skill that each one considers as a
resource that they own and is worthwhile to preserve.
When everyone has finished writing he/she will ask to some volunteers to tell what
are the resources that they have recognized to themselves. The vocational guidance
counsellor, taking a cue from daily activities of the participant boys and girls, will help
them to list all the resources that they put in place and he/she will make them see
how far we possess more resources than we think.
