Find out your own learning style - 20 minutes:
Use Annex 2 – Learning Styles questionnaire and hand out for each learner. Have them complete
and reflect on what they’ve found out. Let learners volunteer and present their own learning
styles and find out together if they were aware of that is the finding correct from their
perspective, did they know about these styles?

Review and discuss key Points – 10 min:
Within the group, reflect on the following:
• There are many different learning styles.
• Each person uses various learning styles- not just one. We might each identify
with some learning styles more than others, but it is likely that most of us have more than one
learning style. Some styles are about how we obtain information, some are about how we
collaborate, and some are about how we express information.
• Learning is a constant, ongoing process. Learning styles matter because learning
happens all the time. This tells us about a fundamental way of how we interact with the world.
Additionally, knowing about your learning styles might help you maximize success in the
classroom because you’ll develop strategies/tricks to learn better.

Activity no. 2 – Gallery walk
Discover that there are many learning styles
Total duration: approx. 60 minutes Group size: 15 - 20 participants

Brief introduction of the activity: 5 minutes
In this activity, learners will further build self-awareness of their personal learning styles and
they will identify and deepen their knowledge about the diversity of learning styles within the
group.
Have your learners walk around the room and review each learning style once again. Have
students write their names on post-it notes and stick them on each learning style with which
they identify themselves. Give them 5-10 minutes to implement this activity.

Reflection – 45 minutes
After learners finish putting their names to the learning styles, come back as a group and go
through the learning styles once again.
Discuss the following questions:
1. What did you notice about the learning styles you picked? Did you discover something new?
2. Did you learn something new about your peers´ learning styles?
