Tutor prepares 4 flipcharts and places them around the room. On each of the flipcharts, the tutor writes each of the following questions:

1. What is the most important aspect migrants should learn about this country? (If you name more than 1 aspect, rank them in order by indicating 1st place and so on.
2. What are you excited about in the BRAMIR project?
3. Is there something that you are amprehensive or worried about in regard to this project? If so, why?
4. Imagine you are unexpectedly staying in Tokyo/Japan for a week. What kind of challenges will you face? How would you cope?

Discussion

• Tutor will summarize the comments on the flipcharts. Read them out loud, if something is unclear ask if the volunteer who wrote the comment would like to explain what they meant.
• But remember, it should be anonymous, so if they don’t want to share that has to be respected!
• Nevertheless, all volunteers are welcome to share their opinions on the comments!
• Try to set the comments into context. Why is this exercise important? Tutor should lead a group discussion with the volunteers following this activity.

At the end of the workshop, Tutor should come back to these flipcharts and ask if they feel the same way about their answers or if something has changed based on their new perspectives/experiences.
