Day 4 - Tuesday 15 December
From newspaper towers to focus groups...
Hi, I’m Josh Gandy, and today we went to the Youth and Student Co-operatives Forum - which we helped run.
Building newspaper towers
We taught people about ground rules, which will help people run their co-operative efficiently. We looked at roles and responsibilities within a business, and how our personal skill link with those.
The delegates, within each of the co-operatives, were given team-building exercises, like building the tallest free-standing tower using only newspaper and sellotape. We explored different co-operative business opportunities, and in small groups created new small businesses - like, water selling, rice production, internet café, stationary distribution.
By showing the co-operatives new skills, hopefully they will use them in their businesses and make them more efficient.
Tomorrow, we will be reviewing our market research from today, and to look at product development. Today I really enjoyed, working with new faces, meeting new people and making new friends.
