Safe Space: 6 ‘O’ is for Oops and Ouch

This lesson explores a key tool for use when having difficult conversations, or when bringing people together from different backgrounds and lived experiences. As we prepare to move onto the Identity chapter, your students will be able to practice more key skills involved in strengthening the level of respect in a dialogue; Oops teaches empathy, sensitivity, responsibility and self-reflection, while Ouch requires honesty and calls for an awareness of power imbalances. The Oops & Ouch tool comes in use during difficult moments, making space for learning opportunities.
