Icebreaker

Green Skills Treasure Hunt

Objective: To create an engaging ice breaking activity that introduces participants to the concept of green skills and promotes teamwork and collaboration.

Instructions:

1. Divide the participants into small teams of 4-6 members.
2. Provide each team with a list of green skills-related clues or questions.
3. Explain that the teams need to work together to solve the clues and find the hidden "treasure" related to green skills.
4. Encourage participants to use their knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving skills to decipher the clues and locate the treasure.
5. The clues can be placed in different areas of the training room or around the VET center, incorporating elements of the center's sustainability initiatives or green practices.
6. As the teams solve each clue and find the corresponding treasure, they should collect a puzzle piece or a specific item.
7. Once all the clues are solved and treasures are found, teams will assemble the puzzle or arrange the collected items to reveal a message or image related to green skills.
8. Facilitate a debriefing session where teams share their experiences, discuss the importance of green skills, and reflect on the teamwork and collaboration involved in completing the treasure hunt.
9. Connect the activity to the module content by discussing how promotion and awareness of green skills contribute to fostering a culture of sustainability in VET centres.
10. Transition to the training module by highlighting the learning objectives and competences that will be covered in the upcoming sessions.
