CIAK TURKEY 2nd Meeting


On the 21st of November 2012, CIAK Turkish Group met at Gebizli Secondary School Meeting Room. 10 more students from the secondary school were also invited to join the activities.

Firstly, the meeting started with the short description of CIAK Project to the other activity participants. And then the following activities were conducted.
1)      Ice-breaking and warm up: Young people are wanted to find a pair from the group and introduce themselves. After two minutes, the partners talk about each other to the whole group.
2)      Look at the visuals and talk: The young people are given the list of pictures and they are wanted to tell and explain the effects of the kind of problem/barrier they associate each picture with.
3)      The previous activity brought again the “communication barrier” forward.  Connected with that, the activity that focuses the differences between the messages sent and the perception of them was conducted. In this activity, which is called “BUG” young people are wanted to draw a bug following the instructions one by one. Eventually, it is found out that, neither the  drawn bugs of all participants are similar nor any of them to the original. Which brought  post reflection session on communication?
4)      The other activity is conducted to increase the group Dynamics and communication. The groups try to pass over a hypothetical river all together, founding strategies to deal with the problem. The reflection session of this activity focuses on finding solutions and putting their plan into practice knowing that they have to act all together as a group to be successful.
5)      The final activity, also focuses on communication, appropriate leadership behaviours and communication. The imaginary sugar cube firm is managed by young people.  The leader finds out that if he/she consults the team for their opinion the rate of success is higher. At the same time, the participants find out that on the condition that they recognize their skills and capacities, it is more efficient for them to set goals for themselves.
6)       After the activities are over, the young people had a break for tea/coffee/soft drinks and cookies.
