Used in SALTO Tolerance & Diversity TC2 2003.The method was adapted for TC2 by forming small groups of 4 or 5 and creating one body outline with the visible aspects of identity outside of the body and the invisible ones inside. Each group presents their body and one list is created, grouping the aspects of identity under general headings, such as gender, religion, etc. The session is debriefed using the following questions:How did it feel to do this exercise? Are there some things that we don’t say? Which aspects of identity can be changed?What aspects of identity are relevant to the theme of the course?
