This activity supports participants to reflect on a question and generate their own solutions using simple principles of active listening and peer coaching.

Every individual will gain a shared idea of what the group has been through together. Use this exercise at the end of a project or program as a way to reinforce learnings, celebrate highlights and create closure.
