Ideation workshop

Tool Description

This is a collective workshop for people that want to create an SSE project. It is helpful for:

• People that don’t have any idea before the workshop, will get ideas of SSE’s projects at the end of the workshop.
• People that already have ideas will have more ideas.

Development of the workshop

1. Introduction about big issues, everybody can do something. Even a small action counts. Use the legend of the hummingbird as a parallel (15 min):https://worldstreets.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/the-legend-of-the-hummingbird/
2. Work individually on a tool called “blazon” (20 min), sharing of the blazon with the group (10/20 min). The blazon is a four boxes board. Box 1: what do I like to do // box 2 : what are my competencies (broad sense) // box 3 : What are the social and environmental issues that preoccupy me // Box 4 : whom do I want to help
3. Collective intelligence on each participant’s blazon (1H/1H30)

The group spends 15 minutes minimum on each blazon: 

• • Ask the owner of the blazon if s/he identifies a way to solve the problem with her/his competencies.

• • If not, the others can suggest ideas.
    

• • Then collective thinking on the actions that could be intended, the structures that could be helpful, challenging the issue etc.

4. Summary of everyone’s learnings (15/30min). Conclusion and asking to everybody what they have learnt. Remember that the idea of this tool is for the participants to produce a solution against a social problem.
