As a facilitator, you might recall a time when your group cooperated. Tell them a story about what you remember from that time; point out what they did, how they worked together, the different roles they played, and what the outcome was. Or use an example of group cooperation from your community that the participants will be familiar with.

Say, cooperation is when people work together to achieve a common goal.


Ask:


  • What do you need cooperation for?
  • Is there a situation in your life or a time when you need more cooperation than you get?
  • How do you feel when the people you are cooperating with are happy to help?
  • How about if they are not so happy to help?
  • What are the ingredients of successful cooperation?

List the ingredients of successful cooperation and point out how many of them are values that have been learned so far.
