Activity 2 What will you do next? Objective: to give participants an opportunity to work on their action plans
Time: 25 min
Materials: handouts 2 and 3
►Procedure:
Distribute handout 2 to participants and ask them to complete it individually. Give them enough time.
When they have finished, distribute handout 3to each participant. Ask them to think about their dream goal (lifetime dream) about their profession (e.g. to become a teacher trainer) and write it on top of the pyramid.
Ask participants to put their plans into categories given on handout 3.
Invite volunteers to share their plans with the whole group.
Comment on the plans if necessary. Note that sometimes participants may argue about short-term and long-term plans. As there is no exact border between the short term and long term, advise them not to worry too much about the distinction and simply to listen to each other.
Wrap up Time: 20 min
Materials: four sheets of flip chart paper with participants’ expectations done on the first day of the course in Session 1 (Activity 3), a small ball
►Procedure:
Put the sheets of flip chart paper with participants’ expectations written in Session 18 on the board. Take participants through their expectations. Ask them whether or not their expectations have been met. Discuss these expectations with participants and tick the ones they say have been met. If there are any expectations that participants do not think are met, comment on them.
Invite participants to come to the middle of the room and make a circle. First throw a small ball to someone and ask him/her the following question:
How do you feel now that this programme has come to an end?
That person answers the question and then throws the ball to someone else. In this way the activity continues till everybody answers the question.
As a trainer, you can also tell participants all your positive feelings about them and the programme. On this point finalise the programme.
