Music (chosen by the participants) - musical interlude for each exercise does not exceed 3 minutes, container with participants' names.

Each pair performs the exercise for approximately 2 - 3 minutes.

The group divides into pairs through drawing lots, and each pair faces each other. The activity leader, without a pair, plays any fast or slow music. Each pair designates the first performer who starts performing various movements to the music. The second performer mimics the movements of the first performer. Both performers should synchronize their movements as much as possible. After the music ends, the activity leader plays different music, and the roles of performers are switched. 

For younger children, use drawing or simple affirmations to express their self-image. For participants with literacy challenges, allow verbal sharing or use images and symbols. For groups with low confidence or trauma history, focus on strengths and hopes rather than perceived flaws. In virtual settings, use digital mirrors or journaling apps to facilitate reflection.

After the activity, invite participants to quietly consider what they discovered about themselves. Encourage reflection on how their self-perception influences their actions and relationships. Provide space for sharing positive insights and any intentions they want to set for embracing their authentic selves.

Improved Synchronization and Coordination: Participants will develop better coordination by mirroring and synchronizing their movements with their partners.

Enhanced Self-Awareness: Through observation and imitation, participants will gain greater awareness of their own movements and physical presence.

Strengthened Collaboration Skills: The activity will foster effective teamwork and mutual understanding, improving participants' ability to work together.

This activity encourages self-awareness and positive self-reflection by having participants explore how they see themselves and wish to be seen by others. Create a supportive and non-judgmental space where participants feel safe to share honestly. Emphasize kindness and acceptance during discussions and remind everyone that all reflections are valid.
