Objectives
To get participants to offer their opinions, encourage listening and to promote discussion in the group.

Ask the pairs to describe to each other what gift they would give each other.
Once they have completed this bring the group back to together. Then each member must describe in detail their exercise partner’s gift from you, why they chose it? and what it says about their partner?
This exercise also encourages questioning and listening skills within the group.

2. How can we use this exercise for the rest of the training event?
