A KAWA on World Population Day
World Population Day is celebrated every year on July 11 to raise awareness about the importance of global population development. On this day, topics such as population growth, family planning, gender equality, health, and sustainability are discussed. It is about recognizing the importance of sustainable population policies and finding solutions to the associated problems.
Now also available as a colored package, 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. KAWAs can be made 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. I always use the sheet horizontally for this and draw the letters so that they can be colored later. In our mind map template ring binder, KAWAs are drawn on the white left 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 is written down must begin 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 lack of letters forces you to think more intensely about a topic. By the way, it is 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. 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 often write in KAWA form during meetings. It keeps you 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
