How to complete an action – from beginning to end
Be spirited, and bring love and affection
Immerse yourself fully (unless you have any urgent personal needs)
Trust the stakeholder
Ask questions
Remember time is finite, and you can only learn a certain amount, but not everything
“Be water my friend, flow” (Bruce Lee)
Trust and love the person who makes the effort of organizing the work
Use ‘Open-mind’ (like Open-source, but for your brain)
Brainstorm ideas (there are no crazy ideas. There are ideas that can be realized now and ideas that can
be realized later) – write them out and pin them on the wall
Collectively choose (by election) the idea/ideas that most fit the circumstances and the goal of the issue.
Divide the work/responsibilities among team members. Forming groups responsible for different tasks:
Production, strategy and communication.
Have a work plan (have a plan B)
Work on- and offline
Use symbols/signs/visual attributes related to the topic (a clown nose and helium filled balloons work
fine)
Be brave
Take care
The street, square or any other open public space is your stage
Anyone in the street, square or any other public space is your potential public
A smile is universal - it transcends language and emotion barriers!
Carry out the action and enjoy it
Celebrate together afterwards
Make manual and tutorials from your learnings and experiences.
Let other people benefit from your experiences and learned lessons
