A new feature has been introduced to our platform: the Group Activity Tool, designed to foster collaboration among learners working in teams. By selecting the image that represents their team, participants are directed to a dedicated group forum where they can engage in discussions, exchange ideas, and co-develop content with fellow team members.

A key example of this tool in action is found in the course “PLACE YOUR”, which focuses on circular economy principles. Within the framework of the Circular Place Branding Lab, learners take part in the activity titled “Design Your Circular Destination”.

Participants are divided into six national teams:

Greece,Italy,Spain,Mexico,Brazil,Colombia.

Each team is invited to:

• Apply the PlaceYour method in the context of tourism development
• Analyze the assets, needs, and identity of a chosen territory
• Create a distinctive and sustainable place brand
• Design actions that align with circular economy principles
• Collaborate effectively and communicate their strategic proposals clearly

The group forums allow participants not only to discuss and share ideas but also to upload and collaborate on draft texts, audio files, videos, presentations, and other materials. The goal is to produce a unified proposal that reflects their shared vision and team effort.

The Group Activity Tool enhances the learning experience by making teamwork more interactive, structured, and impactful—preparing participants to solve real-world challenges through collaboration and innovation.
