St Anne's Girls High School, Halasuru Module 1 Rapport Building Part 1

Summary

Building rapport and getting to know each other is important to build the trust between facilitators and Kishoris. Using fun activities for ice breaking and make Kishoris comfortable with us and also build their excitement to work with us.

Facilitator: Aparna

Co-Facilitator: Anusha, Karthik, Shreyas

Assumptions

1. Total time available is 40 minutes
2. Module will be conducted in English.
3. All the classes have CCTV and the facilitators need to get used to that.
4. There isn’t much information available with us about the school.
5. Number of Kishoris - 59
6. Since it is the last period of the day Kishoris might already be tired.
7. As Sister Wency shared, Kishoris hardly eat, they skip lunch and also resist drinking milk, this might lead to fatigue and in turn disinterest in what we do

Objective

1. To establish what we will do in this project in an attractive manner (our identity)
2. To build their excitement to work with us every week

Process

Greet the Kishoris.

Flash cards to be used as an introduction activity. Facilitators should start this activity to illustrate how this is to be done. Kishoris will be asked to introduce themselves by saying their name plus what is written in the flash card they picked. Flash cards follow the theme of knowing their favourites. e.g 'Your favourite heroine', 'your favourite song' and so on. The following are the favourites that can be explored.
