A meal at home
Eating together is often the heart of family life and when people get together for birthdays, celebrations or at Christmas, this is often where they feel most ‘at home’. Yet in the UK, people are often so busy with work, school or other commitments that it is difficult to sit down at the same time to eat together. Does this matter? What do you think the pressure of busy lives does to our ideas about home?
Art and Images
This part of the house is activity based. In this section you are invited to look at some images of home and homelessness. What do the pictures suggest to you or remind you of? What ideas come to mind? Some of these pictures might inspire and engage you; others might challenge or disturb you.
You might like to take or find some photographs of your own and create a collage or album for you or your group to look at. You could perhaps put copies of the pictures around your own group space so that you move around to look at or compare them. In your journey through these resources you could also write down some thoughts and ideas in your journal or blog or, if you are doing this in a group, write some words reflecting your thoughts on a piece of paper.
