KiftMe Icebreaker
One topic they both love, and the conversation comes on its own.
For student unions, societies and halls of residence. Your participants talk about what genuinely matters to them, and a conversation opens one to one with someone it means as much to. Three years of passing in the same corridors, turned into friendships that last.
Three minutes to set up. One link or one poster to share. Nothing to run on the day.
The problem
Nobody walks up to someone without a reason to.
A hall of residence, a school, a year group. The same faces every day for three years, and never an opening. The groups form in week one and never change.
How it works
Two people who love the same thing already have something to talk about.
- 1You put up the topicsFilms, books, places, games. Your participants can add their own.
- 2Each of them picks one, then writes what they thinkTwo sentences are enough, on their own. Nobody reads what anyone else wrote.
- 3A conversation opensAs soon as two people have written about the same topic, a private conversation opens between the two of them, and each sees what the other wrote. Never in a group.
You see how many people take part. Never what they write.
Setting up
Three minutes, start to finish.
You launch the event whenever you like. Nothing to run on the day: conversations start on their own, latecomers included.
