Stanchfield, J. (2018, June 1). Postcard to your future self. Experiential Tools. https://blog.experientialtools.com/2018/06/01/postcard-to-your-future-self/

This activity is designed for educators "as a closing reflection activity" in workshops.

As per Jennifer Stanchfield (2018):

“Ask participants to choose a postcard that represents a strength they bring to their group or team, or one that represents an essential learning they are taking away from the experience.

Have them find a quiet place to reflect and write a postcard to their future self that includes the following:

  • A reminder of their strength or idea that inspired them to choose the postcard.
  • A key lesson they are taking from the experience that they don’t want to forget.
  • A commitment to their future self

Ask them to self-address the postcard and leave them with you to send at a future date.”
