Contribute to a Stanford research!
Hi, everyone,
I‘m Eugenija and I‘m following an online course on creativity at Stanford University.
Most of our task are implemented: we need TO DO something rather than
learn theory about it and I need YOUR help to be able to finish the research!
The task is to find a creative way to present a loaf of BREAD by adding as much value as possible.
My report will be based on creating cultural & social value:
I will ask people around the world „what is the first thing that comes into your mind when someone mentions bread?“
and a few others. Later i will look into the results and try to find similarities and contrasts.
So, please, take two minutes to fill in this questionaire & participate in this international adventure!
Thank you very much!
Eugenija
