This exercise is usually organized as the first team building activity of the group (after they get to know each other, get more aware about the program and they share their motivation, contribution and expectations).

Participants will take their break outside the training room. During this time, the facilitator changes the order of the objects in the working room. Changes need to be visual (the tables, the chairs, the small personal things such as purses, notebooks, pens, glasses etc.) 

The facilitator invites the participants to choose 2 or 3 people to come to the room and to look at the new setting. The group has 30 seconds to memorize where all the objects are located. They go back to the group and make a plan on how they will set everything back where it was before. They have only 10 minutes to make the plan. 

After the plan is decided they all go back to the room and arrange the things how they originally were. In case the facilitator is a person with visual impairment s/he may need the assistance of a support or acompanying person (it can also be one of the participants), to help the facilitator set up the room and change the location of the things.

The group is starting to communicate better, getting to know each other and they start working as a group.

Materials to blindfold the participants that can see and all the materials which are regularly in the room. The room should be photographed at the beginning, when the new set up will be made and at the end when the participants will think that they set up the room back to how it looked like.
