Title: The secret words
Summary:

The coordinator divides the group into 6 teams. Each subgroup is given a sheet of paper with a secret word on it. Each team should describe the definition of each word without referring to it directly and without pronouncing it. The words to distribute are: belonging, cooperation, commitment, communication, learning and empathy. Each team should write and/or come up with examples or situations about the word they have received and then share them as a large group. When the definitions are given out, participants from the other teams should guess which word is being referred to.

Once the activity is over, there is a space for reflection on the contents developed. Ideas for the moment of reflection and debate. In this space it is ideal to refer to the meaning of the words in relation to how the group operates, how its members perform in relation to the task. Do they feel that they belong to a group? Is commitment to group work identified? Are cooperative and/or competitive attitudes detected? How is the communication, is it effective? Is there empathy? What is empathy? Is there learning? How does learning flow?

Objectives: Reflect on the ideal behaviours for working in a team. Discuss the concepts that members consider necessary for teamwork. Strengthen group cohesion by agreeing on how to work and relate to each other.
