Promote the local area

Support local artisans or producers during the event.

Why this programme

The programme puts the spotlight on the artisans and producers of your region, with their products, their stories and their know-how. The challenges help people discover the area, and the event itself is sourced locally.

Rootedness is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.

Simone WeilphilosopherThe Need for Roots (L’Enracinement), part two “Uprootedness”, 1949

What your teams experience

  1. Where it comes from: match local products to their region and their producer.
  2. Know-how: a quiz on the trades and traditions of the area, prepared with the artisans.
  3. The map: place the company’s local partners on a live map.
  4. The basket: each team puts together an ideal local basket, unveiled at the close.

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

Local roots experienced first-hand by the teams, and local partners in the spotlight.

How we tailor it to you

Your wording, departments, figures and photos are built into the challenges and cinematic sequences, to the letter. The look follows your brand guidelines. Teams are formed on the spot or based on your organisation chart. The session report is delivered to you after the event.

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.
