1. Tune In & Build Empathy

Description:

Tuning in is about our first experience of focusing on the issue of saving the koala. Empathy is about the ability to share the feelings of perspectives of others.

Aim:

To provide a common, memorable experience that is in line with the context, resources and needs of the cohort. This activity should set the tone, outline the rationale and be a reference point for the group.
