This activity helps develop students’ resilience by:

• the activity essentially and primarily develops resilience by helping children to imagine and visualize a positive, optimistic future. Visualization through drawing is particularly important because it develops and reinforces the skill much more powerfully than “simple” storytelling.
• requiring children to consider each other’s ideas, which supports the development of flexible thinking and acceptance,
• presenting situations where the drawing may not turn out as originally imagined, helping students learn to cope with disappointment and seek new solutions,
• involving shared planning and space management, which can lead to disagreements that must be resolved peacefully and collaboratively,
• encouraging children to carry the group task through even when they face difficulties, strengthening their perseverance,
• reinforcing children’s self-confidence through active participation in the joint drawing and recognizing their own contributions – building the feeling of “I can cope and contribute.”
