GETTING-TO-KNOW
Form triads among yourselves and take turns in
introducing yourselves. Highlight pertinent
features about yourselves like a) basic
background information, b) one thing you love
about yourself, and c) any distinguishing or
unique interests and/or experiences. Once
everyone is done with getting acquainted with
each other, each triad will go in front to introduce
each member of the triad.

Essentially, the penultimate goal of this

course is to assist learners in answering
one of life’s greatest subject of inquiry –
Who am I?
To do this, learners will be exposed to
varying viewpoints that offer some
insights on the different aspects of
ourselves.
