A. Our Next Step
Participants share ideas about what they would like to do as a group at the completion of the Life Skills and
Leadership sessions.
- Invite everyone to sit in a circle to make dialogue easier and begin a discussion with all group members
about their future involvement with you and with each other. Say:
“This is the last session that we have formally planned for this series of trainings on Life Skills and
Leadership. I am wondering whether you have ideas about what you would like to do or see happen in
the weeks and months ahead. Maybe, you have thought of a project you would like to do together, or
perhaps there is something else you would like to learn. Perhaps you might like to teach life skills you
have learned to other youth in our community. I would like to hear your ideas.”- While participants share ideas, write them on the blank flip chart. If you are able and have the
resources to teach another class on a different topic, share that information when appropriate. Try to
elicit ideas from the participants first. Encourage them to use some of the creative thinking strategies
taught earlier to expand upon the ideas that they bring up. - If the group gets to the point that a decision about what to do can be made, use the Levels of
Agreement strategy to gauge support in the group. Be realistic about what your commitments are and
how much you can help given the specific situation of your post.
