The finale of this session challenges students to take on leadership roles, self manage and provide inter-team feedback using tools and techniques taught during the first half of the session.
Session 3 – Human Shield – students create a ‘human shield’ that visually represents their aspirations, ambitions, their existing identities and achievements.
