Give away the fun (and easy) part. I think the reason we hold onto the idea generation part is because it's fun, not because it's the activity in which we have the most specialized expertise.

The Living Library was conceived in Denmark in 2000 as a way to engage youth in dialogue about ending violence by encouraging people to meet their prejudices and fears in a safe, fun, facilitated environment.
