training of
peer educators
Explain that each person is going to receive and then make a facial ‘mask’ that he
or she will pass on to the next person, who will make a new one to pass on, etc.
Tell participants the following: ‘I am going to make a face or a “mask” and make
eye contact with the person on my left. She or he must try to copy the exact same
mask, with her or his face, as if she or he were looking in a mirror [demonstrate].
Then, that person will turn to the left and create a new mask to pass on to the next
person. We will “pass the mask” around the circle. Let’s try it now, and remember
to make eye contact and give the person enough time to make a really good copy
of your mask.’
Closure
Allow the group to discuss how they felt during the exercise.
