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

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

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

Even when I like someone very much, there are always things I like about their behaviour and others that I don’t. Let workers ask these 2 questions: When do you like me? When do you dislike me? With these questions they can gain awareness of their behaviours and those of others. In addition it can

Ask participants to find a partner to work with. It usually works better if they are people with whom they share something, they communicate

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

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

What are you bad at? What are you good at? What can I help you with? How can you help? Let’s find out. Identify the essential skills that each working team has to have and make a list with all of them. Ask each team member to identify which skills he or she is specially

It is not always easy to see the positive in the negative. We cannot always turn a problem into an opportunity. But the truth is that it is worth trying. Write case studies that describe rights that have not been respected, that describe how the workplace is flawed. Ask participants to redraft the cases by
