Remote Workshop Activities

Todos los componentes del equipo contribuyen a la creación de una lista de objetivos colectivos a alcanzar durante el siguiente período de trabajo, agrupados en términos de urgencia e importancia.

Die Teilnehmenden bilden gleichseitige Dreiecke, ohne sich abzustimmen, und erfahren, wie Selbstorganisation eines Systems funktioniert, wie es sich kalibriert und empfindlich auf Veränderungen reagiert.

Have you ever been in the middle of a discussion with a group that is trying to reach a decision about something and realized that you actually don’t have much of a stake in what happens? Or, have you ever been advocating for a group to take things in a certain direction and notice that others (for whom the outcome will not be relevant) are arguing just as passionately as you are?

Many times when we are trying to make decisions as a group, involved parties care about the outcome, but at varying levels. This tool helps identify who actually has a stake in the outcome and allows a group to get perspective on which voice(s) should be a priority in the decision process.

An engaging variation on a feedback activity that focuses on future changes and positive action, rather than dwelling on what went wrong.

Here's another jolt that explores one of our favorite themes: You have to unlearn something old in order to learn something new. A nice thing about this brief activity is that you don't need any supplies or equipment.

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.

As a virtual game in Zoom, have people narrow their screen so they only see 3 people in a row. Each person will simultaneously try to have one person sitting, one standing , and one out of the frame in their row.

Easy and fun way to review content or atmosphere at the end of a group activity (or in between) in 1 minute.

Fun and easy sequence to be used with all types of groups of people (colleagues, team mates, new team, communities, random group of people, etc.)

Participants throw an invisible ball to one another through their computer screen, paying attention to how it changes as it gets passed around.    

Either checking-in or checking-out is a simple way for a team to open or close a process, symbolically and in a collaborative way. Checking-in/out invites each member in a group to be present, seen and heard, and to express a reflection or a feeling. Checking-in emphasizes presence, focus and group commitment; checking-out emphasizes reflection and symbolic closure.
