Wo, Wer, Wie und Warum-Schlange

Die Teilnehmenden bilden paarweise eine Schlange und improvisieren in Zweierteams eine kurze Szene, in der sie schnell die Fragen „Wo sind wir?“, „Wer sind wir?“, „Wie stehen wir zueinander?“ und „Warum ist das interessant?“ beantworten. Nach jeder Szene wechseln die Teams.

Social Fabric Mapping

This activity gets participants thinking about the power of relationships and what it means to be a part of a connected community.


Participants use the shared visualization to create a visual representation of all the communities and groups that they have been and currently are a part of. They can create their "map" any way that want, but it's best if the facilitator has an example to share with participants for reference.


After five minutes, participants pair up and share their maps with each other. Alternatively, the reflection can be in a full group.


Reflection Questions:

  • How did you feel while you were making your map, and how did you feel looking at your completed map?

  • Considering everything you included in your map, what do you think makes a community “woven strong”?
