The End

The facilitator plays a video that presents a story or a case study. The video is paused before it ends. Teams of participants gather in different breakout rooms and come up with suggestions for the conclusion of the video. Later, the teams return to the main room and present their suggestions. After hearing from different teams, the facilitator plays the rest of the original video. During a debriefing discussion, the participants compare the suggested endings with the real ending.
