This document contains information about psychological workshops led by Izabela Kopik in Baia Mare, Romania. It outlines two parts to the workshops, with several aims and activities described for each. Part 1 focuses on group integration and getting to know oneself. Activities include having students write what color represents their mood and form groups to discuss why, as well as dividing into two subgroups to rotate between conversations on various topics with a new partner each minute. Part 2 covers main workshop topics like awareness of anger, where students write things that make them angry corresponding to the letters in their name. Another activity asks volunteers to create imaginary countries and have other students choose which to belong to, then develop constitutions and show a

Introduction
Greeting, introduction to the workshops.
Main part
1. Dividing into groups (we need even number students)
We divide the group into two subgroups by counting to 2.
“Ones” sit in a circle (either on chairs or on the floor), facing the outside of the circle, “twos”
create a circle on the outside- so that every person has a pair. Students turn to each other and
are sitting face-to-face.
Their task is to have a conversation with their partner on the topic given by the leader. Ever
pair has a minute for discussing the topic and after the command of the leader they move
over, one seat to the right. A new subject is introduced by the leader and after a minute next
change of seats takes place and so on and so forth, until the person comes back to his/her
initial seat.
The subject to discussion - examples:
 My first impression when I see you
 About our country
 My the biggest success
 Fotball
 My favourite music
 My hobby, interest
 My the bigest failure
 What would you do if you will win 1 mln dolars

WORK SCHEME:
Introduction
Greeting, introduction to the workshops.
Main part
We ask for volunteers that will be in charge of leading the activity (the number of
volunteers depends on the size of the group- 1 person per 10 participants, but not less
than 2).We explain the rules of the task to the volunteers, the others have a short break
at that time.
Every volunteer has to create his/her new state. He/she has to invent the main idea the
state will be based on. The task of the volunteers is to present the idea of the state and
canvass citizens from among the group. Every leader shows the idea of the country
through pantomime and then the participating students choose the country they wish to
belong to.
The students move to the next step of the activity in the created groups:
- Every state has to create its constitution- at least 10 rules (every inhabitant
should sign the constitution)
- The citizens of each state have to show how does the life in their country look
like (e.g. one day).
Ending
Leaders are presenting their constitution
