Potential Wider application<\/strong><\/p>\n
Lifeline exercises have a potentially wide range of application on a number of situations:<\/p>\n
- \n
- To support year 1 students transition to Higher Education and University life<\/li>\n
- To develop group bonding at any level but particularly where an initial socialisation has taken place<\/li>\n
- In programmes or units where student cooperation, collaborative skills are pursued e.g. as a tool to facilitate group work<\/li>\n
- In programmes or units where there is an element (or ILO) of reflexivity and development of reflection skills<\/li>\n
- In groups with significant intercultural divides<\/li>\n
- For staff development in particular career planning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In such different situations the leading questions can be easily adapted e.g. How has your cultural background has and shapes who you are? How has your experience at Manchester has shaped who you are? What has surfaced for you in doing this activity that will impact your learning?<\/p>\n

When the lifeline exercise has been done with students in the NHS programme but also as an activity within the teaching team, it has been observed<\/p>\n
- \n
- Students have learned about each other<\/li>\n
- Students came together as a group, more tightly<\/li>\n
- Lifeline fosters cooperation and caring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Provide basic ground rules for the group(s) to review and adhere to<\/li>\n
- Give questions to group before the session takes place to avoid catching students on their back foot<\/li>\n
- Some students may fall in the trap of providing a CV type account.<\/li>\n
- The exercise can be repeated where students are moved to another group or repeated at a later point in the programme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
