Oxbridge Friday Meeting Barcelona



Today at our Friday meeting here in Barcelona, our group activity was on SELF AWARENESS, and didn´t we have fun with it!


We started by writing down 5 words on a piece of paper that we think describes us the most, the way we act, feel and treat others. Then the person next to us had to choose just one of the words which they think MOST describes us and why! Oooh, the pressure!!


Finally, we had to choose which of the words we are most proud of and which one we would like to change and explained our reasons to the group.
