 The activity may might **not be the fanciest** but it should be **representative of their daily work**. For example, we recommend weeding a plot in the field of a farmer, offering activities for children when visiting an alternative school, participating in carrying stones from a place to another or cleaning an old building in an emerging eco-village. The activity may might **not be the fanciest** but it should be **representative of their daily work**.

 Those activities will **demystify** the concept of social innovation and its various branches. They will help the participants **picture what it means** in practice and to **feel closer** from the people who are taking action. They can also bring more **cultural and political motives** to light, and thus **kindle inspiration.** Those activities will **demystify** the concept of social innovation and its various branches.

 The **exchange of knowledge** is the expected continuity of getting to know each other. After a while people might spontaneously grab the violin for the first time, make weird yoga poses, have walks to explore the surroundings or discuss about permaculture. You might witness a game from a specific country spreading among the camp with different people playing it each day, or a combined recipe in the making, while the cooks exchange tips. Likewise, it might happen that most of the participants gather in a specific spot of the nature around, spending hours discussing about topics that emerged from the activities of the day. There is something wonderful in the **will of people that have more knowledge** about a specific topic to talk about it as well as in seeing people that know nothing or less about this topic to listen with passion and **make the most out of it**. The **exchange of knowledge** is the expected continuity of getting to know each other.

 These exchanges of knowledge and know-how between participants are likely to occur spontaneously,​ from the initiative of some members of the group who are already used to sharing what they know and/or confident with their skills. Yet, some participants might find it difficult to pinpoint the skills they can share by themselves. You may have to help them acknowledge their own talents, they will then feel more comfortable with suggesting an extra activity for the group. For this purpose, we recommend to implement in the beginning of the Tour an activity that brings out the talents and interests of participants. These exchanges of knowledge and know-how between participants are likely to occur spontaneously,​ from the initiative of some members of the group who are already used to sharing what they know and/or confident with their skills.
