ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines Session 5 of “Imagine, Create, Belong”. It is a practical chapter that sets out the activities and session process. The facilitator has created an inclusive, welcoming, non-judgemental environment for young people aged 11–15 years who are in early to mid-adolescence and who may be neuro-diverse. This session builds further on skills introduced, such as flexible thinking, cooperation, empathy and understanding of other people, and understanding of the self and own identity. The action activity in this session focuses on identifying a problem for the characters to solve in the movie plot (story). In this chapter, Section A sets out the session for young people who are neuro-diverse and who attend mainstream schools and experience social difficulties. Section B sets out the session for young people with additional needs who have Intelligence Quotas of 70 or below and attend a special school. For Section B, there are two sessions across two weeks for Session 5 because more time is needed for these adolescents to process the tasks. Each session has activities in the following format: warm up activity; tuning in activity; action activity; and closure activity. All four components are important to the session.
