While creating a collaborative drawing of the “better future”, students must agree on how to represent the chosen topic. They need to be able to explain why they think the situation is better, and what in the picture shows that the situation is better. Everyone needs access to the paper, which requires planning and organization. This process supports the development of important personality traits such as acceptance, patience, problem-solving thinking, responsibility, social skills, empathy, and a solution-focused mindset.

As a result of completing this task, students will: 

• be able to develop a positive dreamed position and understand that the situation can always be better.
• are able to imagine and explain an optimistic future in detail, and to understand and imagine the logical steps needed (including the asking and receiving help and support) to achieve it.
• by experience the joy of success (the realistic achievement of the better, dreamed future), which reinforces their future-oriented and optimistic mindset.

In addition

• be able to accept that their own idea may not always be the one implemented, yet they still play a valuable role in the shared work.
• become more flexible in adapting to group decisions and changing circumstances during the task.
• be able to emerge challenges or disagreements are approached through cooperation and calm communication.
• show perseverance in working toward the common goal, even when they experience frustration.
• Their self-confidence and positive self-image grow as their contributions to the final product are recognized and appreciated by others.
