If I do not know who I am, is it possible for others to define me?
The theme invites participants to reflect over their own identity and perception towards relating with the others from different points of view. The facilitator will ask the questions, and feedback will be gathered in order to have a base for reflection towards own beliefs. Then, all together see the link between past experiences, emotions, beliefs, relationships and past choices of embracing own or others’ beliefs.
