Saturday activity

Dear participants,

Saturday afternoon from 14.00, we will run an activity to get to know each participant. This activity needs some preparation. We will ask you to sell something we believe is unmarketable. This task will be quite difficult.

The products we want you to sell us are probably against your values and culture, so you really will have to show us your ‘ability to convince’ and your selling skills.

You will have 3 minutes to present your product or concept, its benefits or added value and convince other people to buy it. This presentation must include a short presentation of yourself.

You will have to give the best of you and make a good presentation with any format you want: speaking, PowerPoint, why not create a video! Don’t forget you will only have 3 minutes to present!

Here are some ideas of product you could try, but you can also come with another idea of an unmarketable product.

Possible Concepts:

• New model of cigarettes for children, for example you may describe how they have been made smaller for children’s hands, or how the boxes have been designed by children…use your imagination, feel free to make an example of your product to show us.
• Burgers made 100% horse meat.
• A new Clothing brand, which is 100% made by Children.
• Factory producing plastic glasses: This company want to encourage people to use disposable plastic glasses at home instead of washable cups.
• Innovative pets shop. Selling exclusively foxes as pets.

Public advertising campaign:

• Use cars instead of public transport.

Let your imagination run away!
