This activity provides students an opportunity to practice their listening skills. The mentor acts out good and bad listening skills with a volunteer student before everyone splits up to practice in pairs. Students are encouraged to pay special attention to how it feels when the person they are talking to is not listening.

Students identify the people in their lives who are in their “circles of trust” which include inner and outer circles. The group discusses reasons that people move in and out of different circles, and how trust is built and broken.

The Heart is an activity designed to help students understand the consequences of assumptions. Each student is asked to think about assumptions that are made about different identities (i.e. woman: cute, emotional, etc.). After writing these assumptions on post-its and putting them up on signs with the identities written on them, students are asked to think about the characteristics of a new born baby. How do the assumptions cover up all of the good qualities that each of us starts out with?
