Strengthening of trust, sensibility, promotion of empathy<br />
Facilitator divides the entire group into pairs. The person without the blindfold guides their partner<br />
through the sports hall. At the beginning, body contact is allowed and the route is clear. Later in<br />
the game, guidance should be non-contact and verbal only. Sports equipment can be introduced<br />
as obstacles. Players may then take turns.<br />
• How did you feel playing this?<br />
• What was easier/ more comfortable – to guide or to be guided?<br />
• How did you communicate?<br />
Trust is connected to power and the absence of it. The idea here is to observe how the partners<br />
treat each other. After the activity, it is also interesting to discuss with participants the role of power<br />
in their daily life and what kind of different and culture-bound strategies they use to manage this.<br />

Strengthening of trust, sensibility, cooperation<br />
All participants, except two people, build a landing strip - two rows facing each other with 4m<br />
distance between the rows and participants on each side. The two remaining people have the<br />
roles of airplane and flight controller (blindfolded). The airplane takes position at the beginning of<br />
the landing strip and the controller at the end. The airplane starts running fast towards the flight<br />
controller. By making noises, the people forming the landing strip inform the airplane about the<br />
distance to the controller. The louder the noise, the shorter the distance. The task of the controller<br />
is to say stop at the right moment so that the airplane can arrive at the destination without any<br />
accidents.<br />
• How did you feel playing this?<br />
• Was it easy or difficult to trust but also to guide someone?<br />
• What supports the trust in the group?<br />
• What breaks it?<br />
• Why is trust so important?<br />
To come to a new place is sometimes similar to flying with no instructions. That’s why it is very<br />
important to have people around you that you can trust.<br />
