Reflection

What is the purpose of reflection in intercultural dialogue?

• To remember memories from your past

• To bring up facts that you memorised about the topic

• To think about your experience of the dialogue and how you can continue to grow

• To avoid the topic and not focus on the conversation

Which of these is a good way to practice reflection?

• After the dialogue, write down what I have learned about the topic from my peers

• Talk about how I used one of the skills in the conversation

• Let one of my peers know how they impacted my thinking in the dialogue

• All of the above

Which of the following is a key action in the reflection process?

• Ignoring the different opinions you have heard

• Considering how your own stories and beliefs connect to others

• Sharing further with peers to justify your opinion

• Remaining silent about what you thought or felt in the dialogue

While reflecting you might...

• Question your own perspective and consider how it may change

• Uncover new emotions about a topic you didn’t know you felt

• Learn how to use a dialogue skill in a better way

• All of the above

You can only reflect after a dialogue:

• True – you need to have the whole experience to reflect on it first

• False – no! You can pause at any time and reflect on your learning

What should you focus on during the reflection process?

• Only your own experiences in a dialogue

• The experiences of others without considering your own

• Both your own and others’ experiences in the dialogue

• Nothing, you don't need to reflect

How can reflection contribute to personal growth?

• Helps us to understand what we have learned and how we can grow.

• Gives us new opinions to share with others

• Reminds us to not speak during a dialogue

• It doesn't help with personal growth at all
