LIFE IS LIKE A BOOK (Continued)

2. BREAKOUT SESSION 1 (Duration: 30-45 mins)

FOCUS – EXPLORE THE IDEA THAT EVERYONE’S LIFE IS LIKE A BOOK
In this session the majority of the time will be spent in breakout rooms where mentors and participants spend time
exploring the idea that everyone’s life is like a book. Mentors can drive this discussion in any way they wish.

LOOK FOR GOLD MOMENTS

Some advice...

1. Look for and go with those moments where the discussion is driven by participants.
2. Encourage participants to ask questions of each other and the mentor.
3. Use what you already know about participants to stimulate discussion if possible.
