Every participant should create a list of his strengths, skills, capacities, and unique knowledge. Each person is allowed a maximum of 5 kg. So on their list, a person might have 1 kg of humour, 500g of good listening, 1.5 kg of French language…

After five minutes of writing their list, participants will move around the room and ask all the other participants what they have in their treasure chest and what they would like to exchange (clearly, no actually money should change hands!). Make sure that everybody speaks with everyone else!
