Comment l'animer

  1. 1

    Provide each participant with a 5x8 index card and a marker.

  2. 2

    Instruct them to draw an avatar and write their name on the card, leaving space for any additional 'tags' related to their interests.

  3. 3

    Cover a wall with butcher paper and invite participants to attach their cards to it.

  4. 4

    Ask participants to find others they know and draw lines to connect their cards, labeling the relationships if possible.

Conseils

  • Encourage participants to be creative and not worry about artistic skills when drawing their avatars.

  • Make sure the wall is accessible throughout the event so participants can continue to add to or explore the network.

Variantes

Consider adding an element where participants write a fun fact or unique skill on their cards to spark more connections and conversations. For a more informal setting, start with humorous or unconventional connections to break the ice further. Consider using digital tools for remote teams to create a similar network online. For large groups, use a wall-sized paper to create a comprehensive network map. Alternatively, divide the group into smaller teams to explore connections in a more intimate setting. For a less formal approach, start with humorous or quirky connections to set a playful tone. This can help break the ice in groups that are already acquainted.
