Ideas marketplace
Ideas marketplace is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Tokens or symbolic coins to represent the available budget for each participant.
- Posters or cards to identify the ideas at the marketplace stalls.
- Spaces or tables for each idea to have its own “stall.”
- Explain the purpose of the activity and how the marketplace works.
- Define the rules: each participant will have a fixed amount of symbolic coins to “purchase” the ideas they prefer.
- Sellers prepare a brief description or presentation of their ideas (this may include images, charts, or text on posters).
- Each idea is organized into a stall within the marketplace.
- Buyers visit the stalls, interact with sellers, and evaluate the ideas.
