COLOURBLIND

An enjoyable, practical
and participative training activity

Colour blind is a practical exercise in verbal communication which demonstrates effectively the enormous and fascinating variety of strategies which individuals use to make sense of their worlds. It explores how perceptions are presented, how meaning comes to be shared between individuals and groups and how organisational strategies are developed to account for the wide range of individual thinking and learning styles.

Colourblind is a group exercise that neatly replicates the periodic confusion and loss of vision often experienced in our workplaces.

Solutions are achieved only via co-operative information and ideas sharing, and a respect for the equal importance each member plays.

Colorblind Is a challenging, entertaining and innovative exercise, portable enough to be carried in a briefcase, simple to set up in the smallest or most formal of training environments and with an enormous variety of applications.

The Colourblind set comprises 30 coloured plastic shapes and 12 eye masks for participants to be blindfolded.

How It Works

The trainer removes 2 of the coloured plastic shapes and the remainder are spread out in front of the participants.

The objective of the exercise is for the group to establish the shape and colour of the missing pieces.

Participants may not exchange or pass the pieces between group members

The question, "What colour is this?" will be answered, correctly, as many times as it is asked. No other questions will be answered.
