In each of the five THOUGHTPICS you will see powerful images set to music, which unfold quickly or slowly depending on the topic, catching people’s attention and setting the scene for more personal explorations of the topic. Each THOUGHTPICS also comes complete with 20+ pages of activities, questions and worksheets, and with a special section for schools.

FACES: An example

Asks: what lives have others led? And what can I learn from them?

FACES is an exercise in curiosity, imagination and understanding about people and their lives. There are three versions of FACES and the following 60 second version gives you some idea how it all works. The questions which go with it are from the opening pages of the written material.

‘As you see each image, silently put a name to what you think you see in that person’s face. What emotions? Qualities? Characteristics?

And, once you have viewed all five images, think about:

1. Who would you like to talk more with?
2. What would you like to talk about?

What’s included with each THOUGHTPICS?

• A high resolution MP4 video file from 1 to 5 minutes long + PDF written material
• Some THOUGHTPICS give  you the same images in 2 or 3 different length versions…so you have multiple options for your groups
