Activities & Instructions
Setup:
Depending on time available and size of the group, the activities can be conducted as one large group or divided into 3 small groups. The following instructions are written for the setting of doing the exercise in 3 small groups.
Instructions to Participants:
Facilitator says,
- “Now we have completed all the core learning activities of CHAMPs-In-Action, let us do a quick review and see if we can all relate our activities to the conceptual model that we talked about at the beginning, the key processes in the Acceptance Commitment Training, and the Social Justice Capacity Building?”
- “To make this more fun, let us continue to work in our 3 scenario groups and see how well you work together as a team. Now each group will get a worksheet with the key training activities we have gone through. We would like you to discuss and come to agreement in your small groups about the key learning domains or processes involved in ACT or SJCB that the training activities were supposed to help us focus on. So for each activity write down a maximum of 1 ACT and 1 SJCB processes in the ACE model. You have 10 minutes to complete the worksheet as a group. After 10 minutes I will ring the bell and ask you to hand in your group’s answers.”
- (After 10 minutes, facilitator rings the bell and asks each group to hand in their answer sheets to the group clockwise next to them so that each group will be marking the worksheet from another group.)
- (Facilitator will review each of the activity and the learning domains as each small group mark the answer sheet of another group, after the facilitator has finished the review, the group that gets the most correct responses will be awarded a bag of candies or some similar tokens of appreciation)
Facilitator summarizes:
Facilitator summarizes,
- “As we can see, there are specific processes and skills involved with the various learning activities we went through together. To help us remember these processes better, we have developed a set of cards to give you as both learning tool and souvenirs.”
- (Facilitators distribute set of CHAMP processes cards to participants)
- “Lastly, let us learn some special hand gestures of the ACT processes. Let’s follow the cards.“
- (Facilitators will demonstrate and lead the group with the hand gestures that represent the 6 ACT processes for a few times until the whole group becomes familiar and do the gestures together in synergy.)
