The facilitators will of course support them in this process, but in the end, the participants will be **responsible for their group dynamic**. Day after day, they will have to **imagine creative and non-formal ways to interact** with each other, thus improving their **emotional intelligences** and their skills in **group facilitation**, **mediation** or **communication**. | The facilitators will of course support them in this process, but in the end, the participants will be **responsible for their group dynamic**.

Thanks to **listening to each other**, any participant will be able to **push themselves beyond their limits and fears** for the Other and the Unknown. For the sake of gaining the courage and reaching the joy of **discovering "difference"** and opening up to new horizons. | Thanks to **listening to each other**, any participant will be able to **push themselves beyond their limits and fears** for the Other and the Unknown.

Each Base group will meet towards the end of each day (except the days of evaluation and when a public event is offered), usually before diner. Using **various guidelines and methods**, the participants will share their feelings and thoughts regarding the day: How they experienced it, what they enjoyed or disliked, what they didn't understand, what they missed, what they have learned, what they believe could be done in a different way in the following days in order to improve the experience, etc. | Each Base group will meet towards the end of each day (except the days of evaluation and when a public event is offered), usually before diner.

Remind the participants that the Base group relies on **active listening**, **empathy** and welcoming the point of view of others; everyone should pay attention to what the other says, and benefit from being carefully listened to as well. Encourage them to **be specific** on what passed through their minds during the day, which expectations were fulfilled but mostly, which dismay they faced. Take a close look at the moments of discomfort and focus on new ideas to solve a problem or to get in touch with a sensible issue. Make it clear that **it is not a specific person who is targeted but the problem**. Remove the responsibility for a problem from a specific person's shoulder and make it the **group's task to solve it** together. | Remind the participants that the Base group relies on **active listening**, **empathy** and welcoming the point of view of others; everyone should pay attention to what the other says, and benefit from being carefully listened to as well.

Keep in mind **a Sharing Circle takes time** (Number of participants x Time of expression of each person + time for explaining the guidelines + closing the activity), so make sure you won’t do it in a rush. | Keep in mind **a Sharing Circle takes time** (Number of participants x Time of expression of each person + time for explaining the guidelines + closing the activity), so make sure you won’t do it in a rush. | ||
Closing the activity might also need some time, because **sharing circles can be very emotional** and the participants will need time to process. For this reason, we believe it is better to implement it as the last activity of the day. | Closing the activity might also need some time, because **sharing circles can be very emotional** and the participants will need time to process.

Last but not least: Remember that the successful implementation of a sharing circle requires an already existing, at least basic trust-level between participants, otherwise they won’t feel safe to express themselves in front of each other. Consequently, do **not to use this tool in the very beginning** of the Tour: it will most likely not yield results. | Last but not least: Remember that the successful implementation of a sharing circle requires an already existing, at least basic trust-level between participants, otherwise they won’t feel safe to express themselves in front of each other.
