Last Sunday, our cohort had our first official meeting!
After getting to know each other two Sundays prior, we all convened to discuss
our individual and group goals during the Diller program.
First, we played “name bingo,” where we were each partnered
up and got to talk to one of our new friends about the history of our name,
i.e. where it comes from, were we named after anyone, what it means, etc. We
also watched a video about people’s names and how they can reflect our
personalities.
Afterwards, we all got back into a circle and decided on our
group values. Although it took a while for us to come to a consensus, we
finally decided upon these values: unity, diversity, perseverance, discovery
and respect.
Then, we were given time to think of our own personal goals
for Diller. Each of us received a piece of white fabric, and on it we wrote our
goal and decorated it. The list ranged from independence to family, but one
thing was clear: they all centred around community.
Finally, we put together our flag! The centre logo was
designed with different patterns, and we all taped our pieces of fabric to the
big blue flag! We can’t wait for the next workshop, and we hope it’s as good as
the last!
