Hi Pascale,

What a joy to come from a culture where children are encouraged to love learning. I think humans are designed to love learning. It’s part of our drive to make sense of everything we experience. The sad part is that we get this love smothered during the growing up process and then have to relearn it later in life.

As for Icebreakers, I agree with all that you say. Watch out for part 3 tomorrow.

Icebreakers is an Anglo-Saxon invention. I came to experience them when learning in those environments. I do not feel I am in a better condition to learn when I have gone through the icebreaking experience. I do not think I recall better when I have gone through thme… just find them odd and inappropriate… This is because I am coming from a cultural context where children are brought up with the idea that learning is a pleasure in itself. We do not need any other motivator than the fact to be priviledged enough to learn.
I have trained many non-Anglo saxons people all of them enthusistic about their experience with me as a trainer… and I have never used an icebreaking exercise…

This does not mean icebebrealing exercises are not useful… it just means they are not universal recipe for better learning…
