Time: 10–15 minutes
This is a reflection activity that learners can work on individually in their Reflection Log, but you could also use it to prompt discussion in a group session or an online forum. This activity invites learners to think about how their experiences highlight the skills and qualities they have developed. They can pick an event or a point in their timeline when they had to take action to resolve something. It could be something to do with caring, family, work, or practical issues like housing and money.
Using the following questions, they can make some notes in their Reflection Log or notebook:
These may or may not be the same as those suggested by the carers in this session. This table provides some examples.
