All of you that have been on our courses, may remember trying out the rich group worthy activities (CLIM). On some courses we used the activity "Can we change something?", which is a task about discrimination, prejudice, racism etc. Others tried the task "Sustainability what?", concerning different aspects of the concept sustainability.
I have often been asked if those tasks can be purchased and now at last, they can! Using the links below you can find the English version of both tasks and one of the tasks in German language. The tasks are in downloadable electric format. The book and further tasks are also being translated into German and will hopefully be available after the summer.
