## How to do it
16+
17+
1. Ahead of the session, establish what you want to elicit hopes and fears about. For example, you could ask participants to focus on the whole project or that day’s workshop.
18+
2. At the beginning of the session, create two columns labeled “Hopes” and “Fears” on a white board or large sticky pad.
19+
(In a remote setting, you can do this online using collaboration software such as Mural or Google Docs)
20+
3. Ask participants to take 1-2 mins to write down their hopes on sticky notes (one hope per sticky note).
21+
4. Invite participants to come up one at a time and add their “hopes” sticky notes to the board and say more about what they wrote. Have participants group their sticky notes as they add them to the board to illustrate emerging themes.
22+
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with fears.
23+
24+
This format can be adapted to include other categories. For example, asking participants to write down skills and experiences can help contextualize each person’s place in the group.
