Description

Implementation:

Step 1: Divide the group into pairs. Have the participants stand in the middle of the room and tie them in some way (hands, feet, etc.). Then place two pieces of cake for each couple, one at the end of the room and one at the opposite.

Step 2: When the facilitator says "Go", each couple has to figure out how to eat both pieces of cake that are on opposite sides of the room within half a minute.

Debriefing:
After the time has passed, allow some time for the couples to talk to each other about their experience. Then come to the plenary and discuss:
* whether the process was easy or difficult for each pair

* how the couple worked together

* how decisions were made

* effective techniques to eat both cakes

* what worked well or didn't work well

* what is the association of the activity with the daily life.

Competences:

-Teamwork

-Decision management

- Working under pressure
