Students take part in a collaborative team competition, based on over 40 photo and video challenges to complete within a limited timeframe (2–3 hours).
The deliberately high number of challenges pushes teams to:
- Make collective decisions,
- Organize themselves,
- Assign roles,
- Cooperate effectively.
Each challenge becomes an opportunity to experiment with group dynamics, observe interactions, and reveal the implicit rules of the collective.
After a brief introduction and platform connection (about 15 minutes), teams start the experience.
The challenges encourage students to:
- Reflect on their own role and that of others within the group.
- Identify skills, strengths, and complementarities among team members.
- Experiment with simple management and coordination techniques.
- Create a group identity through shared symbols, values, and rituals.
- Practice kindness, attention to detail, and quality interactions.
The experience is dynamic, fun, and engaging, alternating between reflection, action, and creativity.
It concludes with a collective debrief (recommended: 45 minutes or more), essential for analyzing achievements, articulating observed dynamics, and solidifying learning outcomes.
- Better understanding of one’s role within a group.
- Stronger, more effective teams.
- Awareness of the value of diversity.
- More constructive and positive interactions.
- A reinforced sense of belonging within the cohort.
This experience is designed for higher education students of all levels.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Programs involving group work or collective projects.
- Courses in management, human resources, or entrepreneurship.
- Newly formed cohorts, at the start or end of a program.
It works especially well:
- At the start or end of a module,
- During a welcome or team-building day,
- Or as a dedicated workshop for soft skills development.
