Description Long

Using randomly selected words from a pool, participants create a fictional city, which is then visualised on a city map. The words serve as inspiration for streets, buildings, squares, or landmarks. The challenge lies in the fact that the terms bear no obvious relation to the original workshop topic, thereby sparking fresh and imaginative ideas. The map is subsequently turned into a guided tour, during which participants present their city.

Preparation

• Prepare materials (flipcharts, pens, adhesive tape)
• Set up a word pool with labelled cards

Execution

1. Participants select words from the word pool, which they can use to create their city map.
2. The terms are stuck onto the map, and additional buildings or features can be drawn in.
3. Next, participants turn their city map into a guided tour, which they present to the other groups in a one-minute pitch.
