Week 1 : Icebreaker activity

Agriculture and climate change
#1

Here is an icebreaker activity to participate in this week:

Icebreaker activity:

Close your eyes. Imagine you’ve been living in a village that’s been hit by drought for the past six months. You and your family have the essentials to get by and you’ve managed to grow enough groundnuts to sustain yourself for the past year. But, suddenly, the weather’s turned and rain has started falling – ABUNDANTLY. Flash flooding is threatening to sweep everything away and in fact, you only have fifteen minutes to evacuate your area. You have to act quickly and you can only take three essential things with you.

What would you take with you and why?

Your task:

Click on the reply button; introduce yourself, where you are from and list your three items and why you’ve decided to take these items. Think creatively about how you present these items to us. You can just type them out or – if you’re so artistically inclined – doodle them and upload your drawings to the platform, or find photos or gifs that illustrate your items and upload them.

Check out your fellow participants’ responses and comment on what you think about the items they’ve listed.

My name is Jane Head of Marketing Alpha Radio Nnobi. In Anambra State Nigeria.

For the droughts I will pick my phone for communication.

Take a little bottle of water for strength as the moment.

Then a seed to plant :shamrock:

#15

Chipo Brenda Mariam is my name working with BTM- Uganda.

First I would pick seeds especially the botanical ones because I believe they can be planted anywhere I can go. This will mean I will not have left my original output behind and I also believe such seeds can persist diseases and hard areas.

Second I can pick all the members it’s is crucial to save lives than any other thing since life is precious and they can leave to tell the story.

Lastly I wouldn’t leave my phone since it is multi purpose so it can help me tell a story by taking some pictures, record the event and also make some calls to help me connect to people who will render me help.
