Purpose | Learning Outcome | Materials | Time | ||
The purpose of this activity is to enable participants to explore their boundaries and what it feels like to be within their boundaries and beyond them. | Participants will be able to develop an awareness of their boundaries around consent. | None | 30 minutes | ||
Introduction (explain this to participants) | |||||||
Ask the participants if they know what personal boundaries mean? Personal boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave towards them and how they will respond when someone passes those limits. Link back to the previous session on comfort, stretch and panic zones, ask the participants what they recall about these three zones. Explain that these zones will be used for the following exercise. Note: This activity may cause the participants to be uneasy, so there may be giggling, laughing, messing or avoidance. Don’t discourage this, encourage the young people to acknowledge and observe their discomfort and how they deal with it. You can even encourage them to laugh for the first scenario so they can get their giggles out of the way. |

When the groups are finished the above activity ask them to say their name and what they had for breakfast to ensure that they de-role.
Summarise for the group what was covered in the session and ask the participants what they learned and how they will take that learning with them. Remind the group of the question box. Hand out slips of paper to all the participants and ask them to write a comment or question on the session. This way the facilitator captures ongoing feedback and participants that want to write or ask a question have the space to do it without it being obvious to the rest of the group they are writing a question. |
