Sincere friends
The goal is for boys to explore their feelings, learn to articulate them, and express them in a safe space. The boys have the freedom to create various items and use diverse words for emotions in their creations, such as writing words on skateboards with a pyrograph.
While the boys work on their projects, they discuss the words they are working with and consider what kind of emotion they convey, in what situations it might arise, and when they have experienced that emotion. It is recommended to work on this project in small groups to ensure trust and depth in the process.
