Citizenship - Explore & Be(come) Yourself
This lesson serie focuses on Citizenship, but you can easily change the subject to a different subject of your choice. Explore & Be(come) Yourself is an integral method that provides space in regular education for personal development, spoken and written language, play, movement, imagination and presentation. This is done in conjunction with all the subjects that are dealt with in education. Arnon Grunberg, the initiator of the Hermann & Hannelore Grünberg Foundation, co-created the Grunberg Academy to challenge children/young people to push the limits of their ability to express themselves. This will give them the opportunity to increase their self-confidence and learn to shape their own lives in a constructive way. Inviting teachers to embark on an adventure bringing their students in contact with their capacities to grow and be themselves in confidence.

Choose two out of the three exercises. Please note that at least one of the excerises is playfully connected to the subject as a pre-introduction.Note: You are creating a group sensitivity and bonding as well as at the same time you are offering selfsupport excercises that are forever usefull. In the beginning, it might seem challenging but we all can use relaxation and playfulness. As a preparation think of an experience from your childhood being part of a game in a circle. Try it out with a friend(s) or family. It enhances your courage.
TrIlogy: personal experience, knowledge, practical application
Preparing the necessary papers:Use a office format paper to create space for the work of the participant. In the middle draw a square for the image. The paper that you will handout as a list is very small a quarter of the A6 format. The paper you will handout for the text will be the size of the room below the square on the trilogy paper.Note: If you want to work digitally you can create a digital-trilogy format. The sizes are helpful tools in organization.
