Clarifying our values enhances decision-making and boosts confidence; try these activities to better understand your values.

Choose one option: create a value collage or deliver a short speech.

Option 1: Value Collage

Create a visual representation of your values using images, words, and symbols.

1. Gather Visual Material
   Find images that represent your chosen values. These can come from magazines, photos, drawings, or digital images online.
   For example, if creativity is one of your values, you might include images of art, creative tools, or people creating.

2. Select and Organize

Choose the images that best represent your values and experiment with different layouts until the collage feels meaningful and visually clear.

3. Create the Collage

Arrange your images on a poster, paper, or digital canvas. You can also add words, quotes, or short reflections that reinforce your values.

4. Reflect
Look at your finished collage and consider how the images connect to your values. What patterns or insights do you notice?

Post your collage on this path and comment on another student’s work. Consider placing your collage somewhere you will see it often as a reminder of your values.

Option 2: Value Speech

Prepare a short speech about the values you selected.

1. Reflect on personal values

Think about why values matter to you and how they appear in your life.

2. Identify Key Experiences

Choose one or two meaningful experiences where your values were challenged, strengthened, or clearly demonstrated.

3. Define Your Purpose:

Decide the main message of your speech and how your experiences show your values in action.

4. Structure Your Speech

• Introduction: Introduce your values and the theme of your speech.
• Story: Share your experience and explain how your values influenced your actions or decisions.
• Reflection: Describe what you learned and how the experience shaped you.

5. Conclude with Impact
Summarize the importance of your values and how they guide your decisions today.
