What’s this all about then? (well something like this…)PLTS Target: Creative Thinkers

Mission

• Your mission, should you choose to accept it (you will), is to plan a journey from London to Lome.

• Your team will consist of a group of experts (each with a particular skill and role)


Experts:• Team Leader – This person should be good at leading a team,

making sure each team member is clear on their role, keeping the team on task and focused. They should also be able to keep a cool head and be able to handle the pressure.

• Route Planner/Researcher – This person is good with reading maps, atlases and using Google Search Engine. It is their job to research the different routes available to the team and give clear information back to the team, explaining why they chose this route.

• Resource Expert – This person is organised and able to handle lots of information. They are going to be making decisions on what they should be taking with them, where they are staying, what would help them along the route.

• Budget Expert – This person is good with numbers. They are able to calculate the costs of the different parts of the journey and keep within a budget. They are very important as if you run out of money; you will be stranded in the middle of nowhere!
