Possible EfSD workshop activity idea

Possible idea for what to do in EfSD workshop:

"Problems and solutions" speed dating - divide into two groups and sit one in inner circle. Other sit in front of one at random (is possible?), and then for each turn outer circle have to move one to the right.

For first half number of turns, have 30 secs to workshop the "worst" from current world (environmental problem? impediments to sustainability? equity divide?) they can think of between two. Then for second half, have to come up with a vision word for how they want world to be, or qualities society/world should have eg peace, stability, participation.

Then get inner circle to put words up on board - negatives first, then positives, and seek out commonalities. Then seek ways from negative first to positive second - further workshops to second positive.

Probs: enough time in 20 min workshop? (number in class? will need an intro section) Also, our group is currently thinking of exploring animal rights-interspecies equity - is this a useful tool for exploring those issues? Maybe can put in our workshop overall, but not use in the 20 mins?
