EXERCISE 3MAPPING WHAT I KNOW

Objective

The objective of this activity is for the participants to get an overview of their education, experience, expertise and knowledge.

In other words - what you know

Description

1. Ask participants to make a list of their skills, education, experience, and expertice.

2. They should use 15 minutes to write down everything they know how to do.

Tips: They can think of it as an extended resume/CV

Be sure they are broad in the search for skills, and don’t be afraid to write down things that might not be very important - they can select later.

Facilitator’s notes

The mapping should be a ’free brainstorming exercise’ to help them tease out all the things they know how to do. Ranking or prioritisation can happen later if necessary.

The Dream Board is a work in progress as new dreams may appear. Ask the participants to start the Dream Board and then continue working on it in the evening.

Make sure you have the materials ready: flip charts, coloured markers/pens/glue/scissors etc.
