What is Brainwriting?

Brainwriting is a collaborative technique used to stimulate creativity, formulate new ideas, and develop innovative solutions to problems. It is similar to brainstorming, except ideas are written down and shared anonymously instead of speaking aloud. This concept can help avoid potential pitfalls in the traditional brainstorming process and allow all participant's ideas to be acknowledged.
