Windows and Mirrors

“Windows and Mirrors nurtures children’s ability to identify their own experiences and perspectives and to seek out, care about and respect those of others. The metaphor of windows and mirrors represents the dynamic relationship among our awareness of self, our perceptions of others, and others perceptions of us. Beginning in Session 2, an ongoing art activity panel which gives children a way to respond to the metaphor creatively and concretely. As a mirror, the panel reflects the individual child. As a window, it represents their view and connections beyond themselves to the congregation, other communities to which they belong and the world.
