Observe and discuss
Now instruct the group to observe their posted responses for a minute or two and facilitate discussion by reading aloud responses that seem most interesting, even if some of them make you uncomfortable or you don’ t personally like them. You can ask the group“ What do you think of all these responses?” and create discussion around the issues presented during the brainstorm. If you don’ t understand someone’ s response, you can say,“ Tell me more about that,” to try to get clarification.
In addition, this session provides a smooth transition to the next topic; harm reduction. Note that the questions“ what is sex?” and“ what is a drug?” are on one same colour paper on different parts of the wall or flip chart paper. Ask the group what relationships they see, if any, between both questions. Similarly, ask participants if they see any relations between the other answers in section 1 and 2 of this exercise. Use this discussion as a transition to the next section, which includes more concrete information on sexual health and drug-related harm reduction.
