My bag of experiences is like a computerwhere all the signals are filed.

2 or 3 signals with the same result makeme generalize, and soon I will have a newattitude.We do not learn any knowledge or skillwithout an attitude towards or against it.

You cannot teach a man anything you can only help him to discover it for himself.

Let the participants list the items under four main categories: Skills, attitudes, knowledge, and values.

Materials:Blackboard or 4 sheets of flipchart paper.Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManuscriptIn the slides to come the different items are symbolised as follows:+ explanationSkills - the legsKnowledge - the headAttitudes - the bodyValues - a heart in the bodyActivity 1Let everybody list 3 personal strengths and weaknesses and let them interview each other to form pairs with the same strengths and weaknesses

Activity 2Ask which personality describes a leader and use later on the list to distinguish between skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values

Activity 3Symbol cards: Spread the cards with figures on the floor with the participants around them. Ask every participant to find 3 cards symbolising her character (without picking up the cards). After some minutes ask everyone in turn to describe themselves by symbols to the group.

MaterialsPaper - wallpaper - a set of Symbol cards (see attachment copy)Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManuscriptSkills are both mental and physical - give examples + explanationGive the participants time to fill out the Skills part on the handout

Activity 1Teach a song with actions - to improve co-ordination

Activity 2A memory game - to train the memory - a mental skill.

MaterialsPut the words of the song on an overhead slide or flipchartMemory game - i.e. the Morse alphabetSkills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManuscript Prejudices, opinions, guilt and emotions are all attitudes

Activity 1Describe your ideal person and try to explain why you chose these ideals.. What does it say about you? On paper, draw your person using symbols. - What does this tell you about your ideal person?

Activity 2 + 3see next slide: Attitude Game

Materials:Attitude cards (see attachment)Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualActivity: 10 Cards, each with one easy-to-see attitude written on it.Place the cards face down in the middle of the group. Each person draws a card in turn and shows the attitude without words. The group must guess the attitude.

Activity 2Each person has a set of attitude cards. They take turns to draw a card and try to show the attitude without words (Variations: use only the face, the hand, or with a mask on only the body to show the attitude). Every one else in the group guesses the attitude by showing a card from her set. If it matches the shown attitude, the card is discarded.. Continue the game until everybody has no cards left.

Activity 1Draw your own personal shield

Activity 2Write your biography, as you would like it to be on your 75 birthday

Activity 3Play a well known game - and try it again with the wrong rules!Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManuscriptA way of describing whether people have a good or a bad self image is to ask whether they find themselves OK or not (using Transactional Analysis and Assertion Training). The self image is founded around the time of the persons birth and developed in early childhood. It is very difficult to change a persons self image later on (it is inside), as it is internal only the person herself can change it.Your self image gives you a status in front of other people.

Activity 1Role play: Let the participants walk around the floor, showing a very good self image for half the time and and a very bad self image for the other half.

Activity 2Role play: Give each participant a little note with a role (i.e. dog, general, teacher, secretary, pupil, dog trainer, soldier all roles in pairs). All participants walk around in a big group behaving in role until everybody has found the person playing the opposite role.Discuss afterwards the different self images shown.Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManuscriptYour self confidence is the external part of your behaviour and personality - what you do or dont do.Some people tend to be very active to try to gain other peoples recognition. Your self confidence is like a scaffolding around your person - and it is possible for anybody to shake or stabilize your self confidence.

Activity Diploma: Participants sit in a circle, everybody with a pen or pencil. A handout diploma is circulated for every participant, who writes her name on the line and passes the diploma to the person on her left. Everybody writes something positive about the diploma owner and passes it on to the left, until it reaches the owner. What feelings appear when reading your diploma? Hopefully it strengthens your self confidence.

Materials:Handout diplomas (attached)Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManuscriptEverybody behaves in one of four EGO- states:

I am OK - you are OKI am OK - you are not OKI am not OK - you are OKI am not OK - you are not OK

This is shown in the persons body language, status, and her spoken language.

Activity Body language: Participants in pairs. Each in turn tries to show, how i.e. eyes, hands, back, legs, head, distance can identify the different EGO-states.

In plenary summarize on four sheets of wall paper the signs of EGO-state.Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManusThe quotation is from Training Guidelines and originally Galileo Galileis. Training is a combined - spiral formed - process of experience, forming attitudes, asking, hearing, watching, feeling, and reflection.

ActivityAsk every participant to think of a personal strength:1. How did she perceive the strength?2. Who taught her - and how?3. If she is to teach the strength, which method will she use: Write a prescription - show - tell - find pictures - other method?

In plenary, discuss the different learning preferences and methods.

Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge, ValuesMultipliers' ManualManuscriptTEACHING, LEARNING, & TRAINING. Is like making a snowball for creating a snowmanConditions:Weather:the optimal learning climateSnow :something to teach/learnA little ball:the nuclear basic to built uponLayer by layer: do not try to teach/learn too much at a time, but in little bits, that follow the latest thing to be learned/taught.Fitting together: repeat the last thing and add the new, being aware of the combination.Style: depending on your teaching/learning style.

Activity 1Try to teach/learn a new song by heart by doing it gradually1. the tune, first one line, next 2 lines and so on2. The words, by adding on one sentence each time.3. The words, without looking at the text , making a gesture for each sentence.
