Eagle and Hawk Brainstorming

Come eseguirlo

1. 1

   Ask participants to find a partner. One person raises their hand and becomes an 'Eagle'; the other is a 'Hawk'. Introduce the topic or question they'll discuss.

2. 2

   Give pairs 5–10 minutes to discuss. Ring a chime or call time.

3. 3

   Ask all Eagles to stand and fly to a new Hawk. Hawks remain seated. Give 30 seconds for Eagles to find a new partner.

4. 4

   Run another 5–10 minute discussion round with the new pairing.

5. 5

   Repeat for 2–3 rounds in smaller groups, or up to 4–5 rounds in larger groups.

6. 6

   Bring the whole group together to harvest insights: What new ideas or perspectives emerged from these conversations?

Suggerimenti

• Works especially well when participants don't know each other well — the structure forces cross-pollination.

• Use a consistent, audible signal (bell, chime) to end rounds — it keeps energy up.

• In a small group of 5–7, one or two rounds is enough.

Variazioni

Run three groups (Eagles, Hawks, Owls) where Owls can choose to move or stay — adds more flexibility in larger groups.
