| Description Explain that you will now read out some statements. Ask the participants to take a stand by placing an object in the middle of the circle of chairs (e.g. a wristwatch, pen). The closer the object is placed to the middle/“I agree”, the more the person agrees. The closer the object is located to the outer edge of the circle, the more he/she disagrees. After everybody has taken a stand, ask some participants why they agree, disagree or don’t know. Ask others to respond. |
