The Counseling Cell organized an interactive group session on ‘Identity Development’ on 28th January 2023. The session was held for a small group of undergraduate students. The session was aimed at a small group of participants in order to encourage the students to share their ideas and interact with one another in a more approachable way.
The facilitator of the session was Ms. Eshani Bakhle, College Counselor. She commenced the session by giving a brief introduction to the definition and elements of Identity. The session had three different activities that explained the development and elements of identity. The students gave creative responses during the session.
James Marcia’s theory of identity development was discussed as well. This theory explains the four stages of identity development, viz. diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and achievement. The session concluded with ways of exploring identity. The session ended at 11.15 am.
