60 seconds exercise-5 min
Aim:To see that perception of time could be different. To have a common agreement on time management
Description:
Ask participants to stand, close eyes. Ask them to, as silently as possible, sit down when they think 60 seconds have past. Then they can open their eyes. Discussion about time and make a common agreement on how
We should manage time during this TC. Is time the same for all?
Cultures? Individuals? How could we manage a group like this?
At the end, the team explained how important it is to have everybody involved at the same level in all the sessions of the programme and how important their individual involvement is for the group process.
