About the exercise

  • Time required : 20 minutes

To help participants to think about the different starting points people have in life and the benefits of solidarity.

Description

In this fun exercise, participants have 1 minute to cut or tear out an image but very few participants have scissors. It works especially well as an ice-breaker in trainings that include the ‘The soup of life – human rights gallery’ exercise, as it uses the same imagery of a soup pot to represent human rights.
