Description
Within small group participants divide into three subgroups. Each of them indicate and record 10 signs by wich we can identify someone who is radicalized. Trainer directs following discussion. After participants' observations and views exchange with two other subgroups, he ask them to supplement their previous findings.
Each sub-group on the basis of preceding and updated findings forms an »Awareness poster«, using their own channel of creativity (e.g. drawings, mind mapping, 10 rules of commandments, collage, etc.).
In the second step trainer uses the »official« signs indicators from the activity Handouts. Together with participants he revise and may supplement preliminary findings.
In the third step of this activity trainer leads participants through the steps of the feedback (e.g. what I have learned today, which of the new aspects I have recognised and internalized, how I can apply the new insights into my life, etc.)
Materials needed
Pens, color pens, paper (A#, A« format), newspapers, glue.
Methodology
Poster as awareness and learning material
Advice for Trainer
Trainer guides the discussion in the way to opening new aspects of »risk behaviour« recognition. It is important that he has experience in working with small groups and certainly knows the basics of group dynamics.
