Reflections on the Theme of Coming Home

• What is home?
• Where is home?
• When your house is gone where is home?
• When you think about your childhood home, what do you feel?
• When going home how does that make you feel?
• What is the country you feel at home?
• What does home looks like? Can you find an image that represents it?
• Do you feel at home in your body?
• Do you feel at home in your mind?
• What do you think is home for your parents or older relatives?
• Is there a time, a place, or moment where you feel truly at home?
• Did you ever had the feeling of ‘Coming Home’.
• Imagine you are a 8 year old girl from … (make up a place, real or imaginary) where is your home? How would you feel when you come home?
• When you’re outside, in public transport, super market, start fantasising about ‘the Home’ people are heading to (or leaving) what would it be, do you think it’s a happy place. Or not. What color is their front door?
