Labania - creative currency

Imagination Experts Day value - in Labanias

Imagination Experts Day took place at the end of March 2008. 2 months later I decided to check how much the experience is worth! I decided to measure the value of the day using a creative currency: Labanias.

Name of creative currency: Labania

What is it: it is a currency that was created to measure not measurable experiences/actions/benefits/situations.

Strengths and Weaknesses: Each person can rate/value experiences in different way and where for one person a smile might be worth just 1 Labania, for the other person same smile might be worth 5 Labanias. The currency has highly changeable rate and is a very personal one. This is its strength and its weakness.

Labanias cannot be exchanged for real money.

Partcipants (parents, experiment's leaders and supporters) were invited to rate how many Labanias each of the mentioned actions/experiences/outcomes are worth & send me the results. I will publish result on the blog, meantime feel invited and post your answers!

All mentioned categories below relate to Imagination Experts Day (called IED).
