Eden
Environmentally-themed team development
Eden is a unique, innovative and fun team development challenge where the choice to collaborate or compete will determine a successful outcome. This dynamic yet thought-provoking activity encourages teams to think about and engage with social and environmental issues and promotes effective cross-team decision making, while experiencing entertaining and informative challenges.
How It Works
Teams are tasked with building the largest sustainable community in 30 ‘days’. Teams ‘travel around the world’ completing specially designed themed tasks as they go. Earning resources, teams take control by deciding where and how to travel, but every step of the way the consequences of their actions are shown on a giant emissions gauge. Will they choose to compete to become the winning team in this fast paced team development event? Or will teams agree to collaborate to save the world from natural disaster?
Who It’s For
Eden works well for both new and established teams e.g. leadership teams, operational teams, project teams, sales teams, who are looking for a unique and exciting team development experience with an environmental and social backdrop. This team development activity has been designed for larger multi-disciplinary, cross functional teams of 30 people and over.
