Activate!
Activate! is a collection of 15 card games that can be used in over 60 different ways to organise, energise and create learning opportunities. Simple and versatile, they can be used in a huge range of training sessions, by trainers, facilitators, managers and team leaders.
Steeped in traditions that are many centuries old, the playing card is emerging in the learning world as one of the most valuable training tools available. With its deep-rooted history, the playing card is now so familiar to us that it has a quite unparalleled impact.
Regardless of the situation or setting, when you introduce a pack of cards, people’s expectations and behaviours change. They relax a little, become curious and more open. They are ready to participate. In training terms, this equates to them being ‘ready to learn’.
It is from this foundation that Activate! has been developed. Based on 15 packs of cards, which can be used in more than 60 different ways, Activate! addresses 10 practical aspects of the training process and provides activities and approaches for 38 different training topics. It enables trainers, managers, team leaders and supervisors to
• organise: sort or sequence participants, assess needs, summarise a session …
• energise: lighten the mood, encourage interaction, change the dynamics …
• activate: open a discussion, illustrate a point, explore a concept, provide an experience …

• contains at least one tool for almost every training occasion
