Students participate in a collaborative team competition, based on over 40 photo and video challenges to complete within a limited timeframe (2–3 hours).
The number of challenges, deliberately exceeding the available time, pushes teams to:
- Make choices,
- Prioritize tasks,
- Reflect collectively on decisions,
- Adopt a posture aligned with HR responsibilities.
Each challenge becomes an opportunity to explore dilemmas, constraints, and the complexity of the HR role.
After a brief introduction and platform connection (about 15 minutes), teams start the experience.
The challenges immerse students in typical HR situations:
- Conducting or analyzing a recruitment interview.
- Managing a salary review or corrective feedback session.
- Making difficult decisions while considering human and organizational impacts.
- Adapting communication to diverse profiles and personalities.
- Reflecting on the appropriate posture in conflicts or sensitive situations.
The experience alternates between reflection, action, and discussion, in a playful yet demanding environment.
It concludes with a collective debrief (recommended: 45 minutes or more) to analyze decisions, compare approaches, and deepen understanding of the HR role.
- Better understanding of the strategic role of HR.
- A more appropriate posture when facing complex human situations.
- Improved and responsible communication.
- A nuanced view of HR decision-making.
- Awareness of the importance of HR within the organization.
This experience is designed for higher education students.
It is particularly suited for:
- HR programs.
- Management, business, or entrepreneurship courses.
- Students likely to interact with, collaborate with, or manage HR in their future careers.
It is ideal as:
- A dedicated educational workshop,
- A complement to a theoretical course,
- Or part of a themed day focused on company professions.
