METHODOLOGY:

The participants stand in a circle, all must introduce themselves with their name and life mission or vocation and must remain very attentive to their partner, the facilitator begins, grips the thread hard at one end, says their name and life mission and hands the ball to one of his companions without letting go of the thread, the partner must do the same, say the name and the mission or vocation in life and grab the wool tightly on one side and hand over the ball of wool and so on, each one does the same, the participants should be told not to let go of the yarn until they form a spider web, when all have introduced themselves and indicate the mission of life, but the dynamic does not end there, now the last person must say the name of their partner and what is the life mission and hand over the wool, in the same way he must say the name of his partner who follows and hands over the ball of wool and so on until everyone has presented his partner and the life mission, matter is that the wool is once again complete and rolled up.

In this way the ice is broken, we know the names of our companions and the life mission, if any participant forgets the name and the life mission of their companions, the group is encouraged so that they say it and remind their partner . At the end, a socialization of what has been learned must be done.

It is essential to recognize that a vocation is different from a life project.

Vocation: Inclination or interest that a person feels inside of her to dedicate herself to a certain way of life or a certain job.
