For a university workshop on balancing student involvement and academics, we used Climer Cards in order to spark ideas about a healthy work-life balance and some strategies that can be used to accomplish these goals. One student used the flamingo card to liken the experience of student co-curricular involvement to the growth of a flamingo – white to begin with, but their color shows over time with their diet. He stated that no matter the specifics, being involved in co-curricular activities changes you and that this growth is essential to becoming a more well-rounded individual. It was great to see students use the Climer Cards to think outside the box and learn a little more about themselves and their cohorts.
