This is Me

What makes you, you? This Is Me is a creative self-discovery challenge that encourages learners to explore their personality, values, strengths and the things that inspire them. Through reflection, feedback and playful creative activities, learners discover more about themselves and how their individual perspective can shape the way they think, create and communicate.

Part 1

Part 1 – Getting to know me

Learners begin by exploring what makes them unique. They discover their creative type, think about what motivates and inspires them, identify the values that matter most to them, and create a visual representation of themselves through images, sketches, colours, interests and ideas.

Part 2

Part 2 – How do others see me?

Sometimes other people see strengths in us that we don’t notice ourselves. Learners share their work, practise giving and receiving constructive feedback, and gather perspectives from friends, family, teachers and classmates to discover new things about themselves.

Part 3

Part 3 – What’s the story I want to tell?

Learners review everything they have discovered and narrow their research and feedback down to three key takeaways. They consider what feels most meaningful, surprising or exciting to share, helping them decide what story they want to tell about themselves.

Part 4

Part 4 – This Is ME!

It’s time to bring that story to life. Learners generate ideas and create a personality-filled presentation that communicates something meaningful about who they are. It could be a story, object, visual, demonstration or interactive experience, the important thing is that it feels personal and helps others step into their world.

Part 5

Part 5 – Evaluate

Finally, learners reflect on their creative process: what worked well, what inspired them, where they got stuck, what they learned and how feedback helped them develop their ideas.
