Knowing who we are, the way we view our experiences and how we impact others provides students with a powerful set of skills and resources to create behaviors that are fair, inclusive and culturally appropriate. Building on the developmental process of sessions 1 and 2, this project session focuses on Conceptualising the Other (Roffey, 2010) and aims to guide students through the process of labeling based on judgement. Students will examine the kinds of words used to label themselves and others, calling attention to the positive and negative emotional impact.
