Description:10' Energizers with music

-Shake as many hands as possible-Measure the length of the feet with others-Look into the others' eyes until you can see the eye colour-Find a couple and follow the movements of the other as if you were the reflection in a mirror.One person leads and then, the other

20' Game

Option 1 - Human knotAll participants make a circle. Stepping really close together. Then they need to raise their hands in the air and grab the other hand from the other side of a circle. They can grab just one hand with left hand and one hand with right hand. There cannot be three hands together. After everybody holds two hands they need to untie the knot and make a circle again. Option 2 - Mine Field

This trust exercise requires some setting up before it can be executed. It also requires a large,open area such as a room without furniture or an empty parking lot. The leader must distribute “mines,” which they place haphazardly around the area. These “mines” can be balls, bowling pins, cones, etc. This exercise gives co-workers a chance to work on their relationships and trust issues, which is why they are paired into teams of two. One team member will be blindfolded and cannot talk and the other can see and talk, but cannot enter the field or touch their blindfolded team-mate. The challenge requires each blind-folded person to walk from one side of the field to the other, avoiding the mines by listening to the verbal instructions of their partners. Penalties can be put in place for each time a blindfolded person hits a mine, but the real idea behind the game is to get the team members to trust their partner’s directions and toteach them to communicate in a more effective way.

30' Creating our food landscapes

In groups of 4-5 people, each person in a group has 5' to create their landscape with support from the group. Using the different units, pictures and also creating new pictures if you need them, to compose your landscape.

Instructions to give: Leave the person free don't interact too much, but try to facilitate his/herprocess with non-judgemental cooperation, maybe asking him/her questions to help clarify doubts, or just observe with attention...

At the end of the 5' take pictures of each landscape; and another person can create a landscape.

25' Debriefing

All together answering questions about the exercise and having a little discussion as a group on the activity and food landscapes.

-How did you feel?-Was it easy or difficult to do?-Were you afraid of what others may think?

-Now, that you have done it, would you change anything?-Was the landscape somehow similar to a landscape you are familiar with, or a landscape that surrounds you?-Do you see this landscape as a landscape of the future? why?-What do you think is the highest priority for you? health / community / environment / justice?

10' Collective landscape

Now, silently, on this sheet of paper, use your collective consciousness to create a landscape as a group. All this done silently. Each one of you has to add an element to this landscape.
