10 and up
Summary
This activity is complementary to another activity. The facilitator who chooses to conduct an activity from this
book, or any other learning sequence that develops competences for democracy, will then complement it
with this unit to help learners become aware of their learning. The facilitator makes use of the documentation
(e.g. visual, audio) of the learning unit in order to trigger learners’ reflections on how they have developed and
how they want to develop further. To that end, some part of the learning unit, ideally a group discussion that
is recorded on audio or videotape, is displayed to the learning group at the end.

Tips for trainers
The trainer is responsible for producing either an audio or video recording during the learning process. The
activity thus needs to be introduced accordingly, and participants need to agree to the recording. In preparing,
the facilitator should also set aside time to edit the recording for display for the reflection activity at the
end of the unit. The activity can be used either for self-evaluation or feedback in pairs. In the latter case, a
combination with learning diaries is recommended.
Introduction – 10 minutes
During the introduction, the facilitator informs the group that part of the working process will be audio/videotaped
so the documentation can be used for a reflection/feedback activity at the end of the learning unit.
