SCAMPER:

Subtract Language and social barriers that impede the integration of newly immigrated
students into the local Brantford community (as well as their transition to Canada).

Combine: Create a welcome program that combines different elements to help newcomers feel
welcomed in Canada.

Adapt: To the immigrant's foreign culture and interest, allowing for both parties to gain a more
insightful understanding of each other.

Modify: Modify our views on foreigners, instead of seeing it as if we're doing them a favour by giving
them better opportunities, but rather they are also giving our community more culture.

Put to other uses: Existing community volunteers and platforms to further support the transition of
students into their new country.

Eliminate: Eliminate Challenges to accessing programs and events that are faced by newcomers.

Rearrange: Rearrange Methods implemented to make the transition of newcomers easier.
