EXERCISE 1FINDING VALUE

Objective

The objective of this activity is for the participants to learn how to look for a product’s or service’s extended or additional value. In other words, what goes beyond the monetary value of it.

Description

The exercise starts with introducing and illustrating how goods or services have both a monetary valueand an additional value that cannot be measured in money directly. Give the particpants an example that they can relate to.

1. Ask the participants to think about examples of a few things they (or their family) have bought that had a very high additional value to them. They should explain why it had that big value to them.

2. Work in pairs

Ask the participants to tell the other person about the valuable things they have bought, and what kind of value it created for them. Discuss if they could have gotten the same value from buying something else.

Your value

”Don’t find customers for your productfind a product for your customers”

EXERCISE 2FINDING PROBLEMS/GAPS

Objective

The objective of this activity is for the participants to practice how to find and identify problems or gaps in their life and society. It is a skill that they can practice where they observe things around them.

Description

Ask the participants to work in the mastermind group

1. The participants should brainstorm on where they can find gaps/problems/things that are not working or could be better in different areas of their life for example:

• In your household

• At work

• In school

• In your own community

• In your spare time

• Your life in general

2. Make a poster with all the problems you have found in your group. We will work with them later.

You don’t have to find or know solutions to the disharmonies - we will work with them later.

Facilitator’s notes

Have materials ready for making posters. The facilitators should stress on the fact that they need to continue working on them later.
