Internal Conflict Questions: What do you wish you would do? What would you actually do? If there is a difference in what you wish you would do and what you would actually do ( Internal conflict), why is that? Do you think your experiences with Camp Odyssey has helped or will help you to empower you to do what you wish you would do?

***Are there specific questions we should ask in large group debrief? Should it be the internal conflict/Camp Odyssey questions? Timing wise?? Large group Questions: (Kata and Carly will facilitate this part). Stay in your groups, but turn attention to all groups. Have willing representatives to answer questions, or facilitators can represent their groups. 1. Everyone take a minute to look around the room and notice which group represents which role. 2. Did your group agree on some kind of a best course of action for the situation? If so, what was it? If not, where were your differences? 3. Raise hand if you realized that what you would have wanted to do in this scenario and what you felt you could do realistically were different. 4. Raise your hand if you experienced some kind of identity quake during this exercise. 5.
