morningcircle4: How are you?

How can I be with you? (coCreation)

“morningcircle4” is about reacting to each others stories. This task combines “morningcircle1" and “morningcircle3”. Each student answers the question “How are you today?”. The students briefly tell the others how they are feeling. Then they draw a shape on the poster that represents their well-being. The next student tries to react to that with empathy. They also tell the others how they are and find a shape that visualises their well-being. But instead of drawing it just anywhere on the poster, they should think about where to place it to positively interact with another shape. The students should ask each other “What do you need?” in order to react empathetically.

 

E.g. student A is having a bad day. Student B is feeling good and energised. Student B can either draw his shape next to student A’s shape to show student A that he wants to cheer her up. Or student B places it further away in respect that student A may not want company.

 

NOTE:

If a student doesn’t feel like they can meet another student’s need, that’s fine. Empathy, in particular self-empathy, is about knowing one’s own capabilities.
