Values & Culture

Values & Culture

Theme: What we stand for, individually and together

Art practices: Collage, dry clay, diorama-building

Purpose:

Every team has values - but they’re not always visible or shared in a way that feels real. This workshop helps teams explore and express what truly matters to them through hands-on creative practices.

Using materials like clay, paper, and found objects, participants reflect on their own values and bring team culture to life in a tangible, memorable way.

It’s honest, expressive, and a powerful way to align around what’s important, without the PowerPoint.

No art experience needed, just an open mind and a willingness to reflect..

Structure:

1. Welcome & Framing Conversation

  • What do we mean by values in action?

  • What does a healthy, connected culture feel like?

2. Art Practice: Collage – What I Value

  • Use imagery and words to create a personal values collage

  • Prompt: What do I care about most — and how does that show up at work?

3. Art Practice: Diorama – Culture in Action

  • Build a small 3D scene in groups that tells a story of your team or culture

  • Prompt: When are we at our best? What does that look and feel like?

4. Optional Clay Practice: Symbol of Meaning

  • Create a small clay form that represents a personal or shared value

  • Something to keep as a reminder

5. Group Sharing & Culture Conversation

  • Share artworks and reflections

  • Group discussion: What do we want to take forward? What’s working? What’s missing?

Outcomes:

A clearer understanding of personal and shared values

  • Tangible stories and symbols of your culture

  • Stronger alignment on how you want to work and lead together
