A Sharing Session After a Visit
I believe most of you have been to an outdoor activity, outing or a visit to some places. What we usually do, is to learn from what we observed and experienced. But how do we know what we’ve learned and make use of it? Well, why don’t we share what we’ve learned during the JD meet? The following is an example of the sharing activity.
Let’s imagine that we’ve paid a visit to a Blind School. The juniors get to see how the people learn to read and write. From there, they would know how hard it is for them to challenge their daily activities. They could even be little reporters to interview the blind person of their experience. After they’ve gone through the visit and learned to feel what they feel, it’s time for them to share.
Firstly, we can allocate about an hour for the sharing activity.
As the meeting begins, the juniors should be blind-folded for this particular hour.
1. The juniors can learn to write like the blind person to experience how hard it could be for them.
2. Game: While the juniors are being blind-folded, they should get to the ending point from a beginning point. The path set by the PICs should have several obstacles and the juniors must depend on the PIC’s command in order to move safely. This way, they’d know what it feels like to walk without being able to see.
3. Sharing session: In this session, PICs could tell them stories about how a blind person lives and what are their challenges in life. Then, the juniors who interviewed the blind person from the Blind School could come forth to share about their experience. Even if a blind person couldn’t see, how could he/she meet their daily challenges?
4. PICs can now take away the blind-folds and share the meaning and purpose behind such activity.
Conclusion:
We may be born with perfect condition, but we may sometimes, not be as happy as they are. This is because we are hardly grateful of what we have. We are so greedy that we often look far far away but we had never make a move forward.
Ikeda Sensei once mentioned “Anyhow, it’s not for the other people, but ourselves. Ichinen and action is better than any word. It is through action that we experience the purpose of living, the happiness and joy.”
