Brainstorming Tips


BVC asks a lot of its delegates -- it's hard to come up with an entirely new idea or concept related to environmental sustainability.

Below are three core tips for ideation that may help you think of an idea:

1: Figure out the best way that you think and run with it
- Personally, I like to talk things out. Sometimes my ideas flow better through words than writing
- Other people prefer word mapping, drawing, or researching as much as possible
- Sometimes, talking to other people (friends, parents, siblings) is another way to come up with good ideas

2: Identify a problem
- What is something that you know is a problem around the world
- How could you fix it?
- Why is it not getting fixed?

3: Write out EVERYTHING you are thinking 
- At this point, quantity over quality. It's better to have a lot of ideas to narrow down and combine than just two ideas which may not work out
- Encourage weird ideas.
- Write everything down, no matter how outlandish it may seem

As always, email me at ndubey@bmun.org or bmunlxvii@bmun.org if you have any questions!
