Asking and Listening Workshop (One Day)

Asking and Listening Workshop (One Day)

Essential Question: 

How do I ask and listen to empathise better with others?

Objectives:

The workshop introduces learners to the foundation step of the WYS methodology: listening – a concept and practice that they will be using and practising throughout the WYS workshops. Active listening is a skill which allows learners to be truly present, to set aside their distractions, and to listen more deeply.

Learners begin to understand how stories help us connect with each other. They are encouraged to make a habit of asking and actively listening. Learners will reflect on their values. By the end of the workshop, they will have begun to broaden their perspective and to recognise the diversity of belief and background of their peers and others around them.
