Tips and Tricks for Facilitators
How to adapt game for different groups, topics, occasions/needs
The game could be adapted to the local real projects, looking at the funding distributed by the public institutions to the social organizations. It would be a way to better understand the local reality and it could be linked with entrepreneurship competences.
If we have a big group, we could print the board on a big A1 paper and play it in
small groups, changing part of the actions which are carried out in a creative and
active way.
