Brightstorm - Session 14 - Hopes and Fears

In Session 14 of the Brightstorm series, the intrepid crew of the Aurora stands on the brink of embarking upon the most perilous segment of the Polaris Challenge. This pivotal session is dedicated to exploring the innermost hopes and fears of the crew members as they prepare for the uncertain journey ahead. Participants are encouraged to delve into the psyches of these characters, contemplating what aspirations drive them forward and what trepidations they must overcome. This exercise serves not only as a means of character development but also as a way to engage with the narrative's emotional depth.

The 'Hopes and Fears' activity provides a structured format for individuals to record and articulate the contrasting emotions experienced by the Aurora's crew. By filling out their names and the date, participants can personalise their entries, creating a snapshot of the crew's collective psyche at this critical juncture. The hopes may encompass their dreams of triumph and discovery, while the fears could reveal anxieties about the dangers that lie in wait or the potential for failure. This reflective task is designed to foster a deeper connection with the characters and a greater understanding of the challenges they face as they venture into the unknown.
