“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.” This quote by George MacDonald tells us the importance of trust in any relationship. Trust is the most important factor as far building and preserving any relationship is concerned. Although it may acquire different meanings in different relationships like that of a husband and a wife, a parent and a child, a superior and a subordinate etc., but the truth remains that building trust takes a lot of time and commitment and losing it just takes a few moments.
The youth of a country is her future as well as its hope. So, it becomes very important that the virtues of trust, confidence and faith are instilled in them early on so that they become a force a nation can reckon with. There are numerous trust building activities for the youth which can help in instilling trust and confidence in them. Let us take a look at some of these trust activities for youth.
Trust Activities for Youth
One of the common trust activities for the youth is the “blindfolded game” in which one member of the team is blindfolded and his partner is responsible for guiding him through the obstacles to complete a course. When one of them has completed the activity, the roles are interchanged and the course changed. This allows in developing communication and trust among the participants. One thing that you should remember is that this activity should be conducted after the participants have known each other for sometime as playing this game too early can cause physical and emotional harm. Try to indulge the members in some sort of ice-breaking sessions before moving onto the blindfolded activity.
