Reply to "Looking for large group activities about Resilience"

Who is your audience?  Can you put them into small groups for discussion?  You might consider the following 90-minute plan. 

We showed "Resilience" to the staff of an elementary school this way. The participants understood that this was just the first of many trainings and discussions to be held at the school. The feedback from the staff was very positive.

"RESILIENCE: THE BIOLOGY OF STRESS AND THE SCIENCE OF HOPE"
KPJR Films (2017)

PART I
"Resilience" (Show first 20 minutes.)
Individual Reflection: "What are your thoughts about the film so far?" Participants reflect silently and write notes. (10 minutes)

PART II
"Resilience"  (Show middle 20 minutes.)
Small Group Discussion (3-4 people): "What is new and/or significant for you in the film so far?" (10 minutes)

PART III
"Resilience"  (Show last 20 minutes.)
Large Group Discussion: "How can we apply this information at our school?" (10 minutes)

It's wonderful that you have three hours.  That gives you time to start with an ice-breaker and to allow more time for time for reflection & discussion. You can also allow time for a  a brain break, a body break, and a bathroom break.   

I hope this helps!
