Description
Reflection
You probably have your own ways of reflecting and ending meetings and you can borrow questions and ideas from the original activity too.
In this activity, people had the chance to learn about a Chinese tradition and think about how making art can boost their wellbeing. Think about whether your reflections help young people understand what they’ve learned during the activity. The whole point of reflecting is that it helps everyone think about what they’ve learned and how they could apply it to other situations in future.
Are people comfortable sharing their ideas during the reflection? No one should feel put on the spot or forced to talk, but it’s good to give everyone a chance to have their say. You may want to revisit how you start your meetings to get everyone used to speaking up.
It’s worth giving people the chance to share what they’ve created during the reflection. It’s always nice to see what everyone’s made, but sharing their work will also help them describe the activity in their own way and make it more memorable.
It’s also useful to chat about how people could take it further. You could think about how people could build on what they’ve learned or set them a simple, creative challenge before your next session. For this activity, you could think about how people could use what they’ve learned about boosting their mood through art. People could think about using art to help when they’re stressed or when they want to express emotions; they could chat about what kind of art form they’d like to try in these situations. If you set a challenge, don’t forget to check in when you next meet.
