Helpful tips
Encourage participants to unleash their creativity and tap into their imagination and "inner child" to make the exercise joyful and fun.
Participants can use their chosen names or pseudonyms if they wish, as this can inspire new stories and provide support for those in vulnerable situations.
When analyzing the nameplates, pay attention to their shape and the materials used. Each presentation should be met with applause and words of appreciation.
Keep the nameplates until the end of the workshop—they can also serve as a valuable addition to the exercise "There is no vacuum."
