We then walked around the room to see what the other groups had written down for the opposing categories. The lists were endless, and so broad that you could literally do anything you wanted ~within reason~

The task was really useful and informative, but also slightly overwhelming at the same time. Between now and the next session, I will continue to look at the sheets of A2 around the room of potential combinations of themes to try and develop a personal starting point.
