Workshop: Pick a topic

Objective: Develop and refine a project concept through collaboration, focusing on identifying the most promising idea.

Instructions:

1. Individual Work (15 minutes):
• Brainstorm Three Ideas: On your own, come up with three different project ideas. These should be distinct concepts, each with a unique target market, cultural theme, or media format.
• List Pros and Cons: For each idea, write down a list of pros and cons. Consider factors such as cultural relevance, feasibility, global appeal, and personal interest.
2. Pair Work (30 minutes):
• Present Your Ideas: Pair up with a partner and take turns presenting your three ideas. Discuss the pros and cons you’ve listed.
• Give and Receive Feedback: Provide constructive feedback on your partner’s ideas, focusing on which concepts seem most viable and why.
• Refine the Best Idea: Together, identify the strongest idea for each person. Discuss ways to enhance this idea, considering the feedback received.
3. Final Selection (15 minutes):
• Finalize Your Concept: After discussing with your partner, finalize your project concept. This should be the idea that you believe has the most potential and aligns best with the course themes.
• Document Your Choice: Write a brief summary of the chosen concept, including the reasons for its selection and any adjustments made based on feedback.
