THE BEAUTY OF CREATIVITY
Creativity is a word we associate with making or ‘creating’ something. But the root meaning of the word is “to make grow”. It encourages individuality, promotes connection and opens us up to new people, thoughts and experiences. It’s also about problem solving, innovation, and approaching a task from a different angle. In this modern world, innovation is more important than ever before, and companies who are able to find new ways to do the same thing are trailblazers in their field.
We have an inspiring selection of creative team events that will delight and ignite the team. They require you to be bold, innovative, to back yourself, trust each other, share, collaborate openly, and be honest. We can’t think of any better outcomes you could want from a team bonding activity!
OUR CREATIVE ACTIVITY OPTIONS
‘Play in a day’ and ‘Impro Gladiators’ will see teams working on their sense of play. A selection of hilarious drama game favourites will free up the group up and encourage them to make and accept offers or ideas.
The Apprentice and Film Fest encourage teams to work collaboratively to produce either a short film or a brand pitch that is then presented in front of the whole group so you can delight in the success of your colleagues. Teams must learn to communicate not only with each other, but also their concept and idea. Clarity is key!
In all of these games, there is no right or wrong. We’re posing a task to which the only possibility is success. This is a tremendously freeing structure and people’s sense of play and creativity is infectious. We have countless stories of team members coming out of their shell and surprising everyone with their hidden talents and personality.
The nature of these events being creative gives greater scope to tailor and customise the activity to focus on your particular conference themes, missions, values or even your products.
