How easy/difficult was it <strong>for</strong> you to create your ID card? Why?<br />

Can you think of a time when your ID card would have been different?<br />

Was there anything you left out from your ID card because you felt it would be difficult to talk about?<br />

Has anybody identified himself or herself as “an educator”? Why? Why not?<br />

How do you feel about this activity?<br />

Would you be able to use it with your students? How would you adapt it? What would you hope to<br />

achieve with it?<br />

Step 3 (evaluation – 5 minutes)<br />

Participants write down three insights that they gained during this exchange.<br />

PLANNING<br />

Preparation<br />

Have enough picture postcards or colourful paper cards <strong>for</strong> each participant in the group.<br />

Tables need to be arranged so that both individual work and whole class mingling can be easily managed.<br />

Resources and equipment<br />

Postcards and felt-tip pens. You may want to project your ID or stick a large printout on the board.<br />

Tips and potential difficulties<br />

1. The ID cards can be prepared on simple sheets of paper. Pictures and colours can add to a creative and<br />

individual profile.<br />

2. It is important to stress that participants can decide <strong>for</strong> themselves to what extent they want to open up<br />

and what they are ready to reveal about themselves. You can also stress that the reflection triggered by<br />

the activities is as important and useful as what is actually being said, so no one should feel pressured.<br />
