Preparation
The faciliator could prepare a list of skills or cards showing different skills to help participants with low language skills.
Instructions
Form groups of three to four people. Now everyone writes down / thinks of one skill they have. Important: you have to enjoy it AND you should be good at it, there is no limit, no matter if it is a physical, cognitive and/or an emotional skill. Any skill, no matter how absurd, can be useful to society.
Each group has five minutes to find a problem that can be solved with the combination of all skills, whether it’s back pain or world peace is up to the group.
Variant
The faciliator comes up with the problems in advance, so the participants’ main effort would be thinking of the skills.
