2 hour workshops with Annabelle Hartmann, whose brainchild this really is, at the London Metropolitan University as part of an induction day. The students - who didn't know each other - were spilt up in groups and started jotting down shared interests. We had students of all backgrounds and nationalities but food-stuff seemed to be the preferred shared interest as three out of the five groups had this as their favourite shared interest. After this brainstorm/discussion session, we handed out glue, scissors and paper, but no rocks and told the groups to build a suit based on their shared interest - they had an hour to do so and afterwards, the other teams would guess the interest they had in common and then trash the costumes they'd made. Good Friday fun. back to One-day index
