A KAWA about Valentine's Day
For some, just an invention of florists, but for many, Valentine's Day is a day of beautiful gestures.
We have put together what these gestures are in a small KAWA and why millions of lovers celebrate this day.
Now also available as a package in color, with a black and white template, and an empty template for self-design.
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 create KAWAs on any topic that interests you.
How about your own KAWA and why does this technique work?
First, write the topic in the center in large letters. By the way, I always use the paper horizontally 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 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 you write down must begin with one of the letters in the center. The smaller the term, the fewer letters you have available, and the more you have to think. The lack of letters forces you to think through a topic more intensely. By the way, it's not mandatory to use 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. But 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 associated silly and single. If your best friend had been named Hannelore, you would have had more letters available, of course.
From KAWA to KAGA
If you also dress the whole thing in many images, your KAWA becomes a KAGA, and the "G" then stands for "Grafie" (Graphics) / Gestaltung (Design). I often write in KAWA form during meetings. It keeps me alert, no matter how unimportant or boring a meeting is. And I catch everything. Here's an example on the topic: Have fun, Jens Voigt
