At the end of a workshop, it's important to reflect on the things you've learnt, the things you still need to work on and how the things you've learnt in the workshop will help you improve. This activity encourages post-session reflection, and is suitable to be run remotely.
Get to know the other members of your team and share something interesting about yourself in this quick energiser activity.
This exercise is great for building empathy amongst team members, and giving each participant a deeper understanding of their colleagues’ backgrounds (particularly great for international or remote teams). It'll also set a casual atmosphere for the workshop ahead.
The activity serves as a brief energiser during a workshop, and helps to get creativity flowing. At the end of this method, each team member will be a little more familiar with each other.
Encourage creative thinking, expressive drawing and teamwork with this simple but effective energiser activity.
By using the metaphor of a sailboat, teams can articulate what is working well and also, what is holding the organization back. Individually think about and note down:
What is moving us forward and What is Holding us back in as an organization or team.
Moving us forward: what's working for us, what's really good.
Holding us back: what challenges are we facing?
Many of us have played a game similar to this before - if you were stranded on a desert island, what essential items would you choose to survive?
Participants are given a list of items to choose from and must work together to decide which items will help them stay alive.
A great, remote-friendly exercise for a team to work together and share opinions.
Encourage creative thinking and getting to know each other better with a short round of 'time travel' questions to each of your participants.
In this activity, the group will be asked to express a defined quality through drawing. The result will be a mixture of perceptions, and will open the conversation around a particular topic.
Encourage team reflection in a fun and expressive way!
How well do you know your colleagues? Encourage your co-workers to share an interesting fact or story about themselves while flexing their artistic and creative skills!
