The project. There is one outstanding feature of sucessful teams: the team members can rely on each other. However, for many people it is difficult to let go. The Band enables your participants to physically feel the support of the team. The perfect combination of physical experience and team learning!
How It's Done. Catapult (CP): There are 4 persons within the Band. Stretching the cloth they form a large. The two persons facing each other form a team. The trainer gives the start signal for the first team: the partners start running forward exchanging their positions, and let themselves bump into the cloth on the other side. Now the roles change fast as lightning: The impulse of the first team catapults the second team forward! This is team choreography!
Roundabout (RA): There are 6-10 persons within the stretched Band. Suddenly, one person starts running, then lets himself/herself bump into the cloth, using another position. Then the next person starts. As soon as the group has developed a feeling for stability despite the dynamics of the movements, the trainer can increase the pace of the exercise.
Microcosm (MC): In a training session, there may be moments of intense and emotional encounters. Then you need some space that is safe and secure like a cave. Up to 16 persons may stand or sit in the Band. Lean back, feel the team support and discuss your issues.
Time (without debriefing): CP/RA: 10-20 minutes; MC: according to discussion topics.
Space needed: CP/RA: large space without obstacles; MC: 6 x 6 meters.
Safety Advice: The Band is a fast and dynamic activity, and it is not always easy to keep an overview. Hence, please make sure there are no obstacles in the way of your participants (trees, pebbles, roots etc.). If possible, participants ought to wear sturdy shoes. We advise you not to wear clothes with slippery surfaces (rain coats etc.) to increase safety.
Topics & Goals. (Re-)Activating: In the morning; after lunch.
Team Building: CP, RA: Coordination, dependencies and interactions in systems, coherence in teams, respecting others, keeping the balance; MC: giving feedback, reflecting.
