Description of the tool

* Divide the participants into groups of 4. Ask each group to draw a picture of a street in a (Mediterranean) city. Do not give the name of the cities in plenary.
Tell each group individually about the specific city it has to draw. (5 min).
The picture should include details of everyday life and daily activities of the city inhabitant as perceived by the participants. (30 min).
Ask them to draw a picture in Europe (for example Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Amsterdam… ).
Discussion in plenary (30 min). Ask participants to guess which cities have been drawn. Have them note specific differences and similarities between some or all of the cities. How would they have imagined life to be different or similar in those cities? Let the groups discuss why they included some elements, or what they decided to leave out. Give an opportunity to discuss general impressions of the cities and the life found in them.
