Mapping the system
Activity concept
Go below the tip of the iceberg by using a 'systems thinking' tool to understand the different layers of pollinators decline and discover the most efficient places for intervention to create change.
Pollinator proximity
Activity concept
Trigger discussions about the more challenging aspects of coexistence with insects through simulated close encounters.
Guided tour
Activity concept
Take participants ‘into the wild’ - farms, neighbourhoods, parks or private gardens - allowing them to directly observe pollinators and the challenges they face while discussing these issues with experts and stakeholders.
Citizen science sandbox
Activity concept
Go 'into the wild' to discover pollinators and their habitats while practicing citizen science tools and methods.
Mapping values
Activity concept
Understand the underlying reasons and motivations for why we care about pollinators by exploring the ethical side of our relations with them.
Collaboration contract
Activity concept
A collaborative project needs rules for working together – invite participants to develop these themselves.
Welcome
Activity concept
This is the long-awaited moment, when after long project preparations everyone finally is in the room together – the first impressions will be important.
If you were a…?
Activity concept
Instead of the traditional ‘tell us who you are’, this activity takes an unusual approach to introductions. Participants introduce themselves through analogies, by presenting themselves as animals, plants, tools, ecosystems... and why not also as pollinators!
Pollinator picnic
Activity concept
Sharing a meal is one of the best ways to break the ice and get to know others, so how about getting to know pollinators during a multi-species picnic?
Meaningful connection
Activity concept
Help participants discover personal entry points into the topic by exploring together the stories, objects and events that already connect them to pollinators.
