Our report on the major Sculpture Workshop in March 2017 in Euskirchen.
The result is sensational and lasting: pure creative team building!
In mid-March, our new and creative team-building event, the Sculpture Workshop, took place in Euskirchen. An event like this requires extremely meticulous planning and coordination in advance, after all, the results should exceed expectations. We would like to share our experience of this team event with you. We have included some photos.
It all began with an enquiry for a team-building event for managers
When the client's enquiry arrived at the beginning of January, we were delighted. A creative team building
with a high level of communication is something we excel at – it is our passion. The area of “leadership development” is particularly exciting. We love working with people and place particular emphasis on communication with one another. A sculpture workshop, however, is more than just creative team building.
Take craftsmanship and add creativity – voilà, it works
Craft skills are required. Creativity is the focus. And finally, all participants need to coordinate closely and thoroughly with one another, because there are plenty of materials, but they are still available in limited quantities. Every movement has to be just right. And finally, we have found from experience that it works – especially with the right preparation.
Our wonderful venue partner, Burg Flamersheim, was ready
A dream venue awaited us. Burg Flamersheim in Euskirchen is a sensational setting for encouraging creativity in people and bringing teams together. We had hired several rooms for the group, as further communication activities were also planned, which we do not want to focus on in this report.
We chose a particular hall, including a garden terrace and access to the garden itself. The weather was fantastic, and so was the atmosphere. The materials were ready, and we were about to get started.
After lunch, it began – and none of the guests had any idea what was in store for them
The creative team-building session began promptly after lunch Sculpture Workshop
began. Our project managers and crew introduced the participants to the subject of sculpture building – after all, it is not something you do every day. The guests were a little sceptical at first, presumably because they had not been prepared for this kind of team-building event. After a brief look at the materials, they got straight to it.
Discussions were inevitable and ultimately also contributed to the result
The creative materials for decorating the sculptures were laid out indoors. We had placed the building materials outside. Saws, screwdrivers, cordless drills: everything was there. And the discussion began straight away: “What should we build? Should it be several pieces or one large structure?” Our b-ceed team was there again, because it was to be a sculpture that could be divided into four parts. After some initial discussion among themselves, the managers all came together. There was hammering, sawing and screwing. After around 2 hours of tireless work, four innovative and solid cubes were created, each distinctive in its own right and together forming a unique sculpture.
Perfect team spirit – everyone worked together
The work was divided very well between the men and women, and it cannot be said that only the men did the practical work. The sculpture represents solidarity, innovation and enthusiasm for the team and the company. It is incredible what was created in two hours through teamwork. There was excellent teamwork.
Our conclusion on the Sculpture Workshop team-building event in March 2017 in Flamersheim
We can say that this event was pure team building. The guests not only enjoyed an exceptional day, but they were also given a lasting focus on certain objectives. Managers from different departments were brought together as one. From nothing, and without prior notice, selection of individual participants or any other team planning, a construct full of creativity emerged. We are proud of the team and a little proud of ourselves too; after all, there are hardly any providers who conduct sculpture-building activities in such a professional way.
