Results

Plan two contact points with each other.

Setup

Each crew member draws the network of the crew.

Write yourself in the middle of a circle. You distribute your crew members on the edge of the circle. Now connect with your crew members through lines.

Example

Each crew member should now have a (more or less pretty) star in front of him.

Nicolas ---> Sebastian
Nicolas ---> Tim
Nicolas ---> Lars

Write down topics on each line that you want to talk about.

Take about 5 minutes of your time.

Process

2-3 rounds in pairs

Distribute yourselves in pairs and exchange to the topics. Discuss briefly (again about 5 minutes) what possibilities you have to enjoy these commonalities.

Bonus

The topics do not always fit right away. That is completely normal. Try to find something you are enthusiastic about.

After 5 minutes you change partners and repeat it with your new partner.

And go!
