====== CLAP YOUR HANDS! ======

===== Objectives =====
  * Breaking the ice
  * Getting to know each other in an alternative way, out of status (academic degree, job…) 

===== Scenario =====

**Duration**: 40 minutes

Gather all the participants in the room. Start the session by explaining to them that they will share **by pair** for the next 30 minutes, either around a question, either in a non-verbal way, for 2 to 4 minutes per round. At each round, they should **change partners** in order to meet as many people as possible. The round will start when you will **clap your hands** and tell them the **subject** or the **way of expression** you meant for the round.

Invite the participants to walk randomly in the room, at a pace that fits a specific atmosphere: a lazy summer afternoon, a walk in a dense fog, a raining day, a sunrise at Spring time, a crazy party, etc.). 

Each time you will clap your hands, they have few seconds to either gather with **the furthest person** of the group or make a group according to your instruction. 

When they create pairs, they should share together, either around a question, either in a non-verbal way:

**Example of questions**: //“Please, share with your partner"//:
- a significant moment of your week\\
- your dreamt work\\
- what makes you happy in life\\
- your opinion regarding living together\\
- your last travel.

Non-verbal rounds:
- act out your job/main activity - guess what it could be\\
- gather by country of residence\\
- look to each other’s eyes\\
- gather by color of your socks\\
- gather by number of collectives you belong to : 1 or 2 ; From 3 to 5 ; More than 5.
