YES Programme returns! March 25th: Day 3

First thing in the morning,we talked about the thing that we value the most in our life. Then, we learnt what is barrier and what is bridge in communication. We watched a video about communication and we discussed whether it was a barrier or a bridge to communication. We did some aerobics as some of us felt sleepy.

Then, we played a game to give instruction on how to dance, how to draw a smiling face and how to change the water of the plant. We learnt how to follow the instructions that were given to us. One of the funniest thing that happened during this activity was that two of us were given chance to give instruction on how to make a delicious cracker sandwich with the provided items. The other two participants had to follow the instructions. This activity shows how sometimes we give instructions that meant something different than what we want. Therefore, we have to be careful with what we say when giving instruction!

We also did some exercise on how to put a negative sentence to a positive sentence and how to use more 'I' - statements. Then, we discussed on how to be a good communicator and how to be a good listener.

By the end of the day, I felt really happy and enjoyed with the games and the activities!

"It is the third day and I noticed that they were actually speaking up for themselves. YES Program is still wonderful even if I did Module 1 last time because new people usually have a lot of interesting things to say. I sometimes learn from them and it will always be useful next time"
