Non-Verbal Communication 🔗

Learning Objectives

Preparation

Facilitator to bring a deck of cards. Ensure there is an equal amount of each suit (hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades) so no trainee gets left out.

Introduction

Non-verbal communication is very important in any setting. These exercises will help you practise it and reflect on some cultural differences there might be regarding non-verbal communication.

Stack the deck

🎯 Goal: Follow the instructions of the game solely by using non-verbal communication. (30 minutes)

  1. The facilitator will shuffle the deck of cards. When doing so, they should make sure to prep the cards according to the size of the cohort to ensure there is an equal amount of each suit (hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades).

  2. No speaking is allowed during this exercise.

  3. Each trainee gets one card and DOES NOT share which one it is with anyone.

  4. Trainees should group based on their suit (spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds) without talking to each other.

  5. Once in their groups, they have to line up according to the rank of the card (ace, king, queen, jack, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three and two) using non-verbal communication.

  6. You have 20 minutes so make sure you try your best to get to the end of the game. 

 

  1. At the end of the game, take 5 minutes to discuss how you communicated and what kind of non-verbal communication you used.

ONLINE VERSION CHANGES*

  1. Facilitator will let trainees know which card they got through a message.

  2. Once trainees are in groups according to their suit, they go into different breakout rooms.

  3. The rest of the instructions remain as they are. 

*might take a bit longer, so the facilitator should prepare before starting.

Cultural Differences in Non-Verbal Communication

🎯 Goal: Discuss cultural differences in non-verbal communication using the STAR method. (30 minutes)

  1. Go into groups of 3-4 people (can change depending on the cohort size).

  2. Take 15 minutes to discuss the cultural differences using the STAR method, and ensure everyone in the group shares their experiences. Write down the ones that stand out.

  3. Pick someone in the group to present those differences to the bigger group and use the last 10 minutes to do so.

Morning Break

A quick break of fifteen minutes so we can all concentrate on the next piece of work.

Express Workshop 🔗

Workshop Name

Replace this readme with the requirements for your workshop

Learning Objectives

Requirements

Explain the requirements of the workshop. You might want to talk about goals here. You might want to use formal specifications like Given/When/Then. It’s ok for requirements to be in different formats. We want trainees to learn to interpret requirements in many settings and expressions. Just make sure your workshop is active and not a lecture.

Always write your workshop in a readme.md in a folder with the same name as the workshop. This makes it easy to find and easy to show on the curriculum website.

Acceptance Criteria

  • I have provided clear success criteria
  • These might be related to the objectives and the requirements
  • I have given some simple, clear ways for trainees to evaluate their work
  • I have run Lighthouse and my Accessibility score is 100

Community Lunch

Every Saturday at CYF we cook and eat together. We share our food and our stories. We learn about each other and the world. We build community.

This is everyone’s responsibility, so help with what is needed to make this happen, for example, organising the food, setting up the table, washing up, tidying up, etc. You can do something different every week. You don’t need to be constantly responsible for the same task.

Study Group

What are we doing now?

You’re going to use this time to work through coursework. Your cohort will collectively self-organise to work through the coursework together in your own way. Sort yourselves into groups that work for you.

Use this time wisely

You will have study time in almost every class day. Don’t waste it. Use it to:

  • work through the coursework
  • ask questions and get unblocked
  • give and receive code review
  • work on your portfolio
  • develop your own projects

Retro: Start / Stop / Continue

Retro (20 minutes)

A retro is a chance to reflect on this past sprint. You can do this on a Jamboard (make sure someone clicks “Make a copy” before you start, and you work on that together) or on sticky notes on a wall.

  1. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
  2. Write down as many things as you can think of that you’d like to start, stop, and continue doing next sprint.
  3. Write one point per note and keep it short.
  4. When the timer goes off, one person should set a timer for 1 minute and group the notes into themes.
  5. Next, set a timer for 2 minutes and all vote on the most important themes by adding a dot or a +1 to the note.
  6. Finally, set a timer for 8 minutes and all discuss the top three themes.
