group activity
Game 1: "The Ideal People"
Purpose: To encourage acceptance of diversity.
description:
• The group is divided into small teams. The teams
are asked to describe "the ideal girl/woman" or
"the ideal boy/man". The teams come together and
present their versions of ideal people.
• The group discusses how easy/difficult it is to
conform to the "ideals".
Game 2: Role play
Purpose: To raise awareness about discrimination
in everyday life.
description:
• The group facilitator suggests a situation involving HIV
and Human Rights (For example: "Two friends discuss
whether someone with HIV/AIDS should be allowed
to work at the school canteen", or " A woman tries to
persuade her boyfriend/husband to use condoms").
• Two people are asked to start the role-play,
presenting opposite views.
• After a few minutes, the group facilitator/peer
educator claps and points to a new person, who has
to take the place of one of the "actors".
• The game continues until a range of arguments "for"
and "against" have been heard.
