After all these, the facilitator then introduced the topic of the day which was about Group Dynamics. They were given the definition of group dynamics as a group of people coming together with different characteristics or behaviors sharing ideas for the benefit of the group.

The students were then divided into groups and given various animals to draw. After the drawings they were engaged in a discussion where they came up with different characters describing the animals they drew.
