Integrity and Authenticity
A sincere commitment to honesty and firmly grounded values, expressed and embodied in action.
Dimension Being — Cultivating Our Inner Life
For me
- When did I last admit to the class that I didn't know something or had made a mistake?
- Where do I say things I don't quite mean myself – and why?
For my class
- When is it hard for you to be honest?
- What does being yourself mean to you?
In the classroom
- Make a culture of mistakes visible: a wall of “mistakes we learned from”.
- Discuss dilemma stories: what would you do if nobody found out?

An honest answer
To “How are you?” everyone answers honestly for once instead of “fine”. Two minutes of silence, then share in pairs.
