More, Dig, Done is an icebreaker that goes beyond the basics. Participants actually gain some knowledge about each other's lives. The supportive nature of this activity provides group members with a safe environment to share and allows others to work on active listening and inquiry.

In the following course you will learn how to properly set-up and facilitate the activity and then if you wish, move students through an academic and/or social skills development reflection experience.
