idea generation teamwork thiagi collaboration

Five Ideas is an activity that encourages participants to go beyond what is good for their team or their department and work on cooperatively achieving common goals.

Teambuilding activities create high-performance teams whose members are extremely loyal to each other and to their team.

Le pro action café revisité

Présentation

Le pro action café, comme le world café ou le forum ouvert, est un format de discussion qui est utilisé pour favoriser l’échange constructif ainsi que l’intelligence collective dans toutes ses facettes. Dans cette description d’atelier nous vous proposons tout particulièrement l’utilisation du pro action café pour l’apprentissage collectif ou le brainstorming. Nous pouvons notamment l’utiliser dans un objectif de pédagogie inversée, dans la mesure où ce sont les participants qui vont s’enrichir les uns les autres.
