Words to Live by - ‘Lost in Translation’


This week we have been exploring 'Communication' with a focus on misunderstandings, disagreements and arguments. We tied it into ‘The Key Competencies’ - Looking at how to participate, relate to and get on with others, manage ourselves and looking at problem solving challenging situations in order to work effectively together.

We started with communication activities. First following simple instructions to draw a picture and then discussing the challenges eg. vocabulary, not hearing correctly...
We than had a task where we had to work out differences on two cards, this required patience and carefully thoughtout questions.

Then we discussed in groups how misunderstandings, disagreements and arguments occur.
