Step by step
- Split the participants in couples.
- Every couple has a task to write down few differences from their partner and talk about how the other is reacting on these differences.
- Give the participants time as much as they need, since it is important for them to discuss and discover more.
- Than all couples present their differences in front of the group and share how they accept the differences and manage them.
- The trainers should take actions in showing the meaning of the differences that exist in every part of us, in every part of the world.
