Session 3 (14:30–16:00)

Title: Group building

Aim (why this session?):

• To make everyone part of a victorious group that is tight after overcoming difficult challenges

Description (what happened?):

During this session, we had two group-building exercises. One of them was called Electric Fence. A rope was tied between two trees. We had to, as a group, go over the rope without touching it. When the whole group was over, we completed the task.

The other exercise was called Stepping stones. The group was split in two. Both groups got a few stones to try to cross the “river.” But they couldn’t do it because their stones were not enough. So the groups had to work together to cross the river.

Outcomes (what have you learned?):

Sharing ideas, listening to others, and creating a good group spirit.

What can you bring back home from this day?

Group functional skills and excellent exercises.

Session 4 (16:30–18:00):

Title: Tower building

Aim (why this session?):

• To gain knowledge and experience in decision making

• To experience the role of a leader

• To experience teamwork

Description (what happened?):

We were split into groups of 4-5. The groups had to build as high a tower as possible with newspaper, tape, and an egg. We had to be able to station the egg on the top of the building. The egg had to be pushed down the tower, and it should not brake. The team that had an unbroken egg and the highest tower won the game.
