This fun workshop activity is one of the morning's for a group of Central American Youth Ambassadors. (They are here in San Antonio for about a week, after visits to Washington D.C. and Michigan on a three week tour of the U.S.) And I think it's a fun activity for all of us to do every once in a while.
Start with a little fill up brainstorming: what do you like to do best, what does it feel like when you are doing that fluid, fascinating task? Does your mind work in pictures, words or numbers --- or movements, lights and sounds? Is it neat and orderly or quite a chaotic magical place?
Who is at the controls? What does it look like from the inside out? the outside in? Are there connections and pathways, and what are they like -- threads, roads, chutes and ladders, arrows and directives? Is your mind more like a computer or a bird nest?
These are just a few of the posters made by highschool ambassadors from Central America and the Dominican Republic. What would your mind poster look like?
