Students plan and execute a swap shop where they and other participants can exchange clothes instead of throwing them away or buying new ones.
The intention is to give students an experience of organizing a sustainable event and experience how recycling can be supported in practice.
Introduce the concept of a clothing swap, and why it is important.
Students decide what will be tradable, who will participate, where it will take place and when.
With the Reverse Brainstorming method, students come up with ideas about what could go wrong – or what will be difficult for the participants. The students then come up with positive ideas for how the exchange could work in practice. For example, will there be categories or exchange coupons to make the exchange more manageable?
Using the Brainstorming method, students come up with ideas for which working groups to set up. This can be, for example: development of the exchange concept, marketing, physical construction of the exchange, information material about recycling and sustainability, etc. Students choose the working group they want to join.
