This is a quick and fun exercise that demonstrates diversity at a very basic level. It also encourages creativity and helps the delegates to understand a bit more about each other.

Delegates to draw an object suggested by the trainer.
What You Need
- A sheet of A4 paper for each participants
- Pens or pencils for delegates
- A Flipchart or whiteboard
- Blue tack or magnets
Setup

- Distribute A4 sheets to delegates.
- Ask the delegates to draw an object on their paper. Examples include:
- TV
- IPod
- Ladies shoes
- Allocate 3 minutes for drawings.

Timing
Explaining the Test: 5 minutes.
Activity: 5 minutes
Group Feedback: 10 minutes.
Discussion
Ask the delegates why no two drawings are identical even though the objects suggested are commonly known? Encourage a discussion based on how our values and interpretation of the world around us shape our views. Are the differences in the drawings important in shaping our opinion about others?
