To share expectations, motivations, and fears in order to align goals, foster engagement, and build mutual understanding.
\nPin prepared cards labelled "Expectation", "Motivation", and "Fears" in different colours to a board. Introduce the goal of the activity and explain the "think / group / share" method.
Form small groups of four participants. Provide each group with three coloured cards (expectation, motivation, fear) and a marker. Ask them to write their shared reflections clearly.
Clarify which expectations can realistically be met during the course and which cannot. Acknowledge participants' motivations and explain how the course will create safe spaces to address fears. Introduce "The Refrigerator" (a dedicated space for parking wishes and worries), explain its purpose, and designate its location in the room or on the board.
