Visible and hidden parts of our identities (30<br />
minutes)<br />
Learning outcomes:<br />
1. Have a strong sense of our own cultures and identity.<br />
2. Have a better understanding of how our sense of identity and cultures<br />
are formed and change.<br />
3. Have curiosity and value difference.<br />
Summary: Participants explore the idea that all of us have hidden and<br />
visible parts of our identities and cultures. Participants brainstorm visible<br />
and hidden parts and consider how this has an impact on our lives.<br />
Materials: The outline drawing of the identity iceberg.<br />
Approach:<br />
1. In the activity ‘Me and My Identity’ we revealed something about<br />
ourselves to others in the group. Share the idea that we all have hidden<br />
and visible parts of our identity.<br />
2. Brainstorm with the group some of the visible and hidden parts of our<br />
identities in a triangle, like the one below:<br />
Dress, Dancing<br />
Music, Cooking<br />
Values and convictions:<br />
Gender, power, time, justice,<br />
sexuality, friendship,<br />
relationships, nature, family,<br />
modesty…<br />
Visible<br />
Hidden<br />
Revealing more can help build<br />
trust and understanding<br />
