TIPS AND RECOMMANDATIONS

This activity is also suitable to be done online in real time via a video-call-tool / application. Here the maximum time for the task should be 20 for re-connecting with the items in the personal space, and depending on the number of participants about 2-5 minutes each for the presentation.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

Participants become conscious of their immediate environment and re-engage with the items and objects within their own homes to re-establish a connection with them from a fresh standpoint. They learn to embrace their possessions once again and establish a bond with them by perceiving these items and objects as artifacts, each with its own unique story. Participants receive a novel perspective to understand that their personal space, too, can and is a museum and or archive.
