Abstract
The point of departure for this article is that it is difficult to use defined and structured gaming simulations in introductory sessions for negotiations, organisation of teamwork or meetings (in urban planning, community planning, community visioning, etc.) which should stimulate for the active participation. In fact their use demands aids and materials which are not always available, especially in short periods of time.
The activities of icebreaking, if they are not used just as a warm-up but as an “introduction” of topics and problems which are the topic of these events, allow a more interactive and stimulating approach to the following procedures.
