How to help students brainstorm “green” ideas?

In 2019, we designed a brainstorming workshop for teachers organized by the Skills for Future program. The goal was to demonstrate that with a few easy-to-use visual tools one can get from “zero” to a green idea, whether it’s a school environmental project or launching a start-up. Brainstorming is not only about generating ideas but also having these ideas to converge and choose the right idea everyone agrees to. The result of the workshop: enthusiastic teachers (even those who were skeptical at the beginning!) and a handy manual.
