Breakout activity: Instructions for the room:

Last week you started to draft your vision statement, in your breakout room articulate your big idea, vision or dream that you want to achieve by working openly, and experiment with expressing your vision in a short format.
Discuss if any improvements can be made to make vision statement as clear as possible.
Can jargons be removed to make it accessible? You can use Hemingway App or something similar to simplify your statement.
You will be able to iterate and improve on this and exchange feedback on each other’s vision statements in the coming days.
