A KAWA on the Polar Vortex Split
What is a Polar Vortex Split?
Did you know what a polar vortex split is and what happens during one?
Today, I'm playing meteorologist. Just stay home!
Can you make sense of the KAWA (see below)?
By the way, I was there in the winter of 1978 and, with my NVA unit, shoveled a train out of the snow and freed cars on the Autobahn (from 5-meter high snowdrifts) at -18°C.
Now also available as a package in color, with a black and white template, and a blank template for self-design.
Hello Mr. Voigt, 1978/79 was intense, even here in the Bonn area where I grew up, everything was iced over! This is a very nice word game, a beautiful representation! It took me a few seconds to grasp the idea, but then… ;-) Best regards, Sven Plöger (German certified meteorologist and TV presenter)
What does KAWA actually mean?
KAWA, according to Vera F. Birkenbihl, is an acronym and stands for: Kreative Ausbeute von Wort-Assoziationen (Creative Exploitation of Word Associations). But KAWA is easier to remember. You can make KAWAs on any topic that interests you.
How about your own KAWA and why does this technique work?
First, you write the topic in large letters in the middle. I always use the paper horizontally for this and draw the letters so that they can be colored later. In our Mind Map Template Ring Block, KAWAs are drawn on the left white page. Now you let your thoughts wander and consider what comes to mind about the term and what would be important enough to write down. The rule of the game is: what is written down must start with one of the letters in the middle. The shorter the term, the fewer letters you have available, and the more you have to think. The scarcity of letters forces you to think more intensely about a topic. By the way, it's not mandatory to fill every letter. And: there is no right or wrong with KAWA. An example: Suppose you want to create a KAWA about your best friend Eva, then you only have three letters available. However, you can use them multiple times. Perhaps E stands for elegant, successful, eloquent, for V you find her trustworthy, crazy, and in love, and for A you have associated silly and single. If your best friend had been named Hannelore, you would, of course, have had more letters available.
KAWA becomes KAGA
If you also dress the whole thing in many pictures, your KAWA becomes a KAGA, and the G then stands for graphic design. I myself often take notes in KAWA form during meetings. It keeps me alert, no matter how unimportant or boring a meeting is. And I catch everything. Here is an example on the topic: Have fun, Jens Voigt
