You may want to begin your session with an ice breaking exercise to facilitate an assessment by the
participants themselves of ‘where do we begin from.’
ICEBREAKER EXERCISE
Estimated time : 15-20 mins
Material required : Flip chart, marker pen
Methodology : Participatory discussion
Expected outcome : Participants are feeling com<strong>for</strong>table and at ease and are ready to
commence the facilitation session
Activity
1. Facilitator displays a chart with numbers 1 to 10 and gives the participants the following instructions:
Consider how much you know about the problem of trafficking in persons and the laws that
address trafficking.
Rate your knowledge level about trafficking in persons on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 means
there is scant or rudimentary knowledge and 10 means you know everything there is to know
about trafficking in persons.
2. Ask the participants to judge where they are on the scale and place a check under the appropriate
number on the flipchart.
3. Lead a discussion using the following questions to guide the group:
What does the scale indicate about this group’s awareness of the issue of trafficking in persons?
How much exposure have you had to in<strong>for</strong>mation about trafficking in persons in the last year
(through mass media or otherwise)? Have you been engaged in discussions about the issue be<strong>for</strong>e
today’s session?
What impact has this in<strong>for</strong>mation or discussions had on you?
Note to the facilitator
Please ensure that this is done as a participatory introspection and not as a judgmental evaluation
because that might result in participants closing up rather that opening up on the issue. You
will there<strong>for</strong>e need to be very careful with your choice of words.
