Encourage corporate philanthropy

Put the team's skills to work for a charitable project.

Why this programme

Your teams have skills a charity would dream of having. The programme puts them face to face with a real need: understand the project, propose a contribution, commit. The charity features in the cinematic sequences and can also be there in the room.

Man is by nature a political animal.

AristotleGreek philosopherPolitics, Book I, 1253a, 4th century BC

What your teams experience

  1. The need: discover the charitable project and what is at stake through a discovery game.
  2. Our strengths: each team takes stock of the skills it can offer.
  3. The proposal: set out a concrete contribution with a realistic timeline.
  4. The commitment: the room votes for the proposals to launch first.

Each activity opens and closes with a projected cinematic sequence, personalised for your teams. The facilitator sets the pace: nothing moves forward without them.

What the company gains

A skills-based volunteering project born in the room, led by identified volunteers.

Before you book

What is digital team building?

A team building session in which teams play challenges on participants' phones while a big screen shows the running order, the scores and the cinematic sequences. A facilitator runs the room from start to finish. Everything happens in person.

Do we need to install an app?

No. Participants scan a QR code and play in their phone's browser. No account, no password, no installation. It works on iPhone and Android.

Is there a limit on the number of participants?

No. The platform adapts to your headcount, from a small team to the whole company, in one or several rooms.
