Team Building & Bonding
Connect through creativity and learn more about each other.
Team Building
Theme: Connection, strengths, and trust
Art Practices:
Oil pastels, partner portraits, optional zine-making.
Purpose:
This workshop helps teams connect in a meaningful (and fun) way. Through playful, hands-on creative activities, team members get to know each other better, explore how they work, and celebrate what makes them different, and stronger together.
From colour work to drawing each other in pairs, it’s a session that builds trust, laughter, and a deeper understanding of how your team ticks.
No creative skills needed, just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to give it a go.
