Personal object exercise

Why to use?

This exercise helps group members to become acquainted.

This is probably the first thing you do in your first group meeting.

Each group member brings a personal object. Spontaneously choose an object that:

In the group, but individually, reflect on the following questions and write down the answers (5 minutes):

Each of you get 3 minutes to tell:

your name
where you come from
what your expertise (study program) is
why you brought your specific object
what the object tells about your interests and approaches, and your choice of EiT company/theme

The others listen and write notes on how they connect to each of the other colleagues – what you see, hear, think, feel while listening

The group now focuses on each of the group members in turn. Each group member respond how he or she connects to the focus-person. For instance:

Everybody responds shortly (30 seconds) one by one to the person in focus until every team member has got feedback from all the others.
