Trust Walk

Trust Walk Activity

I missed this session but as i was told it was an activity based on trust. one was was to be blind folded and get guidance fro another person

Purpose:

This activity was designed to help you know how you feel when you trust someone else.

During the activity

  The role of the individual as publisher and receiver in the communication process were tested. effective interpersonal communication was at test.

Demonstration and evaluation of effective use of verbal and non-verbal symbols in interpersonal communication.

Students were challenged to distinguish the various communication factors that improve or limit the effectiveness of communication in relational systems.

  Effective listening was one key factor to make the activity successful and evaluate the importance of effectively listening and help from the one you are trusting.

Stairs, where we stopped the curtain with the steps and where they stopped. There were white spots on the street, and if someone stepped on them, they could fall. and for that reason undivided attention to the teacher was required. In the first round they had to follow the path and hit a rock. In the second round they had to hit two stones and concrete.

 In the first round, almost all the students did the piece with the correct instructions. But in the second round, some students forgot what to do. Some forgot to hit the stone after finding concrete blocks. 

 

Procedure was, 

1.This exercise is done in pairs.

Select a friend from the batch to be your partner for this exercise. It should not be someone you know very well.

One person will act as a guide for the other partner, who is blindfolded.

2.The guide’s task is to lead the the blinded partner around the environment, and stimulate as many of his/her senses as possible except sight

3.After about 15 minutes, roles were swapped and the exercise continued

emphasis was made on the following areas

1. During the time you are being a guide, think about what you are doing or saying to communicate to your blinded partner that you can be trusted, and when could assure your partner to trust you
2. During the time you are the blindfolded focus on what your guide is doing or saying to develop trust with you

At the end of the day there was a lesson as usual.the lesson was that as a fact we will have to work with so many many people and some points there are things we will not have knowledge about and are bound to put our trust on other people to guide us through such situations. but we should be vigilante and always be aware of our environment and people we are putting our trust in.
