The ‘Beyond the Surface’ conversation game was another highlight at our recent interschools encounter in Victoria. Students asked each other questions on topics like migration, courage, fear, faith, and leadership, which provided openings for rich discussion. Faced with questions they wouldn't usually be asked, by people they didn't know, students had the opportunity to explore old and new aspects of their identity and, in many cases, expand their ideas of who they perceived themselves to be. An opportunity to build community connections across school lines, forums such as these also allow all participants to experience the passion and fantastic ideas that young people have when given the opportunity to connect to their values.
