To be done:

IN GROUPS

DURATION:

60-90 min

OBJECTIVES:

To build group dynamics.

METHODOLOGY:

Every proposed activity (simulations, games, knowing each other games, sharing in small groups…) mainly aims at building an experience that can become a suggestion , a metaphorical bridge towards new activities and future experiences, keeping on growing and exploring. The active methodology refers to the development of the human being, as a process without a specific age span, but as continue evolution, based on lifelong learning.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES NEEDED:

Papers, color pens, scissors, wood sticks or straw, scotch tape…

STEP BY STEP PROCESS:

Aim of the tool: design a flag that best represents your team.
1.Divide the participants to groups with members that are most familiar with each other, work together or are about to work together. Or you can get them all to work as one group.
2.Explain the objective to participants that they must design a flag for their teams. They must decide what defines their teams, their goals and what brings them together. They should then identify symbols that best capture these concepts and implement them in the final design of their flags.
3.Allocate 15 to 30 minutes for this activity.
4.At the end, get the groups to demo their flags. Other groups can guess what the symbols represent and the group who designed the flag can correct them by explaining the symbols or reveal other symbols that might have been missed.
5.Follow with a discussion:
Was it useful to define what your team stands for? If you see the flag, would you be instantly reminded of your team’s overall objective and philosophy? Can you think of your flag as your brand? Does the principle depicted symbolically in the flag make you feel proud that you are part of the team? Could you read the symbols designed by other teams? What did you learn about others in your team as you went through the process of flag design? Did other team members think differently to you about the priorities of the team, what the team stood for, or what was important in bringing a team together?

OUTCOMES:

Chaperons use this creativity exercise for team building. Groups should work together to create flags that represent their teams, philosophy and their view of how they work together presented symbolically.

EVALUATION:

No evaluation is foreseen for this exercise
