microenterprise

- blank worksheets - imagining cards - a facilitator guide

For 3 people

This pack contains

instructions1. Put the three cards that say ‘I can do this’ ‘I can’t do this’ and ‘I can’t do this...but I could, with the right supports’ on a big table.2. In a group, sort out the cards according on what you can or can’t do, or can do with support.3. When your facilitator says ‘go’, fill in as many blank cards as you can for the ‘can do’ pile.
