Greetings and Opening prayer

         First: The spiritist teacher will divide the youth into three groups. Ask the groups to look around the classroom for pieces of a puzzle (these pieces should have been hidden previously by the spiritist teacher).

         Second: The groups will then meet with all the pieces they found. Each group will choose one of the three colours found in the mix of pieces. Each group will then read the word formed once putting the pieces together. Each group of pieces coloured will have a different word written on it: Mediumship, Past Life Therapy and Science.

         Third: Each group should discuss how the word they have proves the existence and survival of the spirit. Ask them to think about how we can argue with someone who is sceptical that our spirit survives the death of the body, using these specific words.

         Fourth: Each group will expose their ideas and conclusions reached to the other groups.

         Fifth: Read a psychographed text (obtained by the hand of the medium), so the young people can evaluate the existence and importance of the mediumship phenomenon in the Spiritist Centre.
