Postcards from the ones to come

A postcard is a picture or blank rectangular card that holds a message without an envelope. Its power lies in the fact that it can communicate a message based on the relationship between image and text.

Tools

  • Pencils
  • Markers
  • Materials for collage (Old Magazines, Glue, Scissors, etc..)

Steps

  • The facilitator starts the activity by asking participants to sit in groups.
  • The facilitator asks participants to think about the feedback that they want to deliver to their future self.
  • The facilitator then asks participants to create a postcard consisting of a visual composition and the written feedback using the material provided.
  • Participants can create their own digital postcard and share it on their personal social networks, using hashtag such as #theonestocome.
  •  The facilitator asks participants to share their created postcards with the larger group, fostering reflection and discussion about the activity (optional).

Tips

  • The facilitator must be prepared to have an active role at the beginning, introducing the goal and the rules of the activity.
  • During the activity, the facilitator must guide participants to be concise and clear in the feedback they want to give to their future self.
  • At the end of the activity, the facilitator should give space for participants to share their feelings and reflections.
