Time to Zoom-Out

Or using CISV spirit in an overload world.

There is this really simple, yet meaningful exercise in the CISV organisation.

You’d be living in a camp for 2 to 4 weeks with complete strangers from all around the globe.

Once a day, anyone can come up with a question and share it with the rest.

Then we’ll take 15 to 30 minutes to think about it, share it in a small groups or keep it to oneself.

I’d like to share the experiment with you, since I’m thinking about doing the same during my quarantine.

I’ll try to keep a link between each and every questions throughout the days.

10 to 30 minutes each day.

A pen and a paper.

Thinking, drawing, writing, anything …
