Hats
Bring two hats to class: a green one and a black one. Propose a challenge to participants, a challenge that they have to overcome. Ask participants to come up with concrete actions to face this challenge. Tell them that the important thing is to generate a lot of ideas and not to assess whether they

Relay race
Have you ever run a relay race before? Can we do one in class? Divide participants into groups of 3 or 4. Create an area in class – or outside- where they can safely move and run. Before class -or race- you’ll have to prepare some questions, enough for each group have to answer 6

An APP
Have you ever thought of developing an APP for your workers? Right now most of us have smartphones that allow us not only call and use internet but also help us play and learn. You can design an application in which workers can play while learning about their labor rights and obligations and even develop

It is you!
Using role-plays in class allows participants to practice skills they are learning. And because they are in a safe environment where no one is judging them, they feel comfortable to try things that in a real life generally they would not try. How do we get them to feel more comfortable in their roles? How

Who are you?
Do you like costume parties? We can turn a class into one, a theme party! Ask participants to come dressed up with something related to the subject to be treated in class. If Count Dracula comes to a class on how to rationalise working hours, or a little girl with braids to speak on equality

Not another test!
Tests bore all of us, but we love acting. Ask participants to prepare a short play in relation to what they have learned in class. You will have the opportunity to see what they have learned; they will review all the material and have fun at the same time. Do not forget that with the

The treasure
It’s a shame that as a girl I did not bury a box with things inside to then open it 10 years later. I would have loved to open it and find my treasures of childhood. The truth is that we are never late to do so. We can even create a treasure box in

The waves
Many companies have large numbers of migrant workers living in dormitories that the companies provide them. Many workers do not know what to do with their free time considering that there are no social, cultural or sports activities they can perform in the area. You could set up a radio station that is managed entirely

You are the winning team!
Sports are something that makes all of us feel good, we enjoy it and it relaxes us. Do you hold occasional sport events in your company? What if you organize a football game or basketball in favour of respecting labour rights? Or better yet, a championship! What if you name every participating team after a
