Exercise agenda	A simple exercise to introduce an atmosphere of fun and creativity. Ask participants to take 2 minutes away from the monitors and find something nice to put on their heads and decorate themselves. They can use hats and scarfs like a fashionable trend (f.e. Audrey Hepburn style), or earrings, clothes, bags, paper, or other things they find around. Give them a moment and ask if they have their choices. Ask them to respond with their thumb up or down reaction. Then you can take a group picture as a memo and a nice souvenir from this meeting. Ask participants to introduce themselves, share their names, and then invite the next person to speak by name. In the end, suggest that they can take their creations off or stay in them even till the end of the workshop.
Possible modifications	At the end, you can ask participants to share their moods in the chatbox.
