Objectives
- To help participants think about and express their wishes / dreams when it comes to activities to do in their free time or related to a job;

The activity makes participants aware of what they want and what the possibilities are to actually make their wishes for activities or jobs come through.
Material
Preparation
Preparations:
- Collect the materials needed.
Materials needed:
- Collection of magazines, newspapers, coloured paper, enough for the number of participants you expect.
- Material (tape, washing pegs and a line etc.) that enable you to hang the collages.
Instructions
- Ask participants to make a collage that represents their wishes for activities in their free time or their wishes related to a job. They can use pictures from magazines, coloured paper, and paint.
- After they have finished this, expose the collages for everyone to see. Look at each one together and ask the participants what they see. Then ask the participant who made it to tell what s-he has tried to express in it.
- After all collages have been discussed, gather in a circle and talk together about options to give ‘hand and feet’ to the wishes and dreams.
