A core value is a value we consider important in our relationship with our colleagues, the children, their parents and our partners in general. In this way core values are meant to be a common frame of reference in the way we are speaking and acting together, and when we are making decisions in the organization both in regard to the daily operation and in relation to long-term decisions.
Objective:
To identify and define 4 common core values

Organisation:
The participants are divided into small groups of 4-6 persons sitting around the table as for a game of whist/bridge. On the tables in front of them there are approx. 40 cards with value words on. The words must turn upwards.
Instruction:
The participants must select a value card in turn and argue why he / she believes that this particular value with its associated significance is important to him / her. (Use the guiding questions below).
When all participants in the group can agree on the same value, the group continues the process until they have identified and agreed of the 4 core values they consider most important.
NOTE: If only one participant does not agree with the suggested value word or finds another value more important and relevant, the value card must be returned to the table and the group must start the process over again identifying and defining another value they can all agree on.
The process is finished when the group has identified, defined and agreed on 4 core values
Guiding Questions:
- What meaning do you associate with the chosen value?
- What does it not mean?
- What significance do you associate with the chosen value?
- Why is the chosen value important to you?
- If the value could speak, what would the value say to me?
- How do we see the value at The Open Fun Football School?
