Learning experiences

 Our learning experiences (and not mere indoor activities) use games and activities as experiences that catalyze and create reflection and learning processes for professional and personal development. 

They are an excellent resource for a memorable day. They are exciting, suitable for all audiences, and they have a clear didactic purpose. 

We seek out the most exciting and exciting experiences and adventures, and turn them into learning for your reality through a structured process.

We can adapt our adventures and experiences to different formats, durations, sizes and types of audience, messages and content, combine them with other services, etc. for each specific case and we help to transfer the conclusions to the reality of our client.

 17th century pirates of the Caribbean are as mythical as unknown. Films convey a distorted image. However, these pirates managed to suceed for 200 years against the most powerful empires and armies of the time. How did they do it?

In this role-playing game, complementary to the workshop on the same theme, we will play as some of the most famous pirates of the Caribbean in the 17th century. We will have to demonstrate timeless skills, such as searching for information, teamwork, strategizing, making decisions, collaborating or competing, managing limited resources, dealing with storms, and perhaps, if the devil smiles at us, gaining fame and wealth.

We will navigate between the game and historical reality, towards a great treasure: the keys to success of organizations and teams (then and now) in hostile and competitive environments.

Modern magic and illusionism play with our minds and feelings to entertain, but behind the show there is a lot of work and professionalism.

Interestingly, there is a great analogy between the skills of a magician and those of a leader-coach, such as generating an attractive vision of something new and impossible, influencing other people, mastering verbal and corporal communication, planning and preparing, improvising and being creative, coping with failure, frustration, fears and insecurities, teamwork, etc.

In this workshop with Inés, one of the best professional magicians, we will learn and perform some tricks in teams. Then we will interview her to find out her secrets, anecdotes and skills. We will also reflect on how these “magic” skills are related to those needed in companies, and what we can learn from this experience in order to bring a bit of magic to our reality.

 The drum is one of the oldest man-made instruments and has served since time immemorial as a tool for communication, connection with nature and release of tension. 

In classical Greece, Apollo was the god of music, beauty, perfection, poetry, harmony, balance, and reason. We will use its legend as introductory storytelling for the activity. 

Playing the drums as a group in a circle, like our ancestors, we’ll live experiences of connection, expression, motivation, participation and mutual listening, generating extraordinary results. No prior musical knowledge is required as the process unfolds step by step.

With the help of Germán Bertolotto, percussion expert and coach, they progress from cacophony and lack of coordination to creating a harmonious and energetic rhythm, in a fun, deep and meaningful experience. This evolution and the emotional and sensorial memory of the activity are then easily transferred to the team dynamics and relationships. 

 Vulcan, according to the Romans, was the god of fire, volcanoes, forging and metallurgy. Moving from mythology to history, the mastery of fire and the forging of metals have been key to the development of civilizations, and it is something so common that we have forgotten its importance and difficulty.

Guided by an expert metallurgical craftsman, we will learn the different tasks and arts that were formerly required to make something apparently as simple as a knife.

We will have to quickly learn new skills, make an effort and work hard with heat, hammer and anvil, understand how metal behaves, plan work, collaborate with colleagues, manage our tasks within a limited time … and if Vulcan is with us , make our own knife.

How to give current or potential managers a direct experience of success or failure managing companies, in a game and learning environment, so they can learn from it? How to get them to understand the complexity and interrelation of the different parts of the company and acquire a global and strategic vision, beyond the usual silos mentality? 

 The solution is the “management laboratory”, a program in which participants (12 to 16) divided into groups must manage several organizations that start with the same resources and compete and interact each other for eight virtual quarters in a controlled environment, where there is no luck and the only cause of the results are the decisions, skills and behaviors of the participants

The development of the program uses a virtual board that simulates each organization, in which all its areas are represented, with its tangible and intangible assets and liabilities.

By managing their own business, participants realize the impact of their actions on the bottom line; they identify the repercussions of the decisions in the different areas: people, processes, clients and finances; they acquire strategic vision and develop their managerial skills.

Lego is a game that opens the minds of adults and bring us back to childhood. It awakens our creativity and allows us to generate a metaphorical world in which to project our ideas.

 But beyond having a good time, a careful design and exploitation of the activity (not just playing to build without a purpose) allows us to work on absolutely serious and relevant topics for the participants and your company. 

We can generate customized scenarios and challenges to work a thousand situations; for example, the diagnosis and definition of the company’s strategy, the current situation vs. desired by a team, the tension between a project and continuous activities, conflicts between departments, non-hierarchical leadership, teamwork, etc.

Sharing the process of making and enjoying of food is arguably one of the oldest and most universal social rites in any human society.

It is time to strengthen ties, to share the best we have, to get closer, to communicate, to create, to work together (on-site or on-line) for a common good, to belong and contribute to something greater than oneself, to learn something new and different, and enjoy all of it.

With the help of an expert chef in a cooking school we will learn to make some surprising and tasty dishes.

To give it a little salt and pepper, we will compete in teams to prepare our best dishes. Finally, the judges will decide who are the “Monster Chefs” of the day.

In addition, we will reflect on the work process, mistakes and successes, and learn some of the timeless keys that successful teams demonstrate. Taste an enriching experience!

 We will use Bacchus legend as an introduction to the activity. Guided by an expert in wine or beer we will learn to savor, differentiate, describe and consciously appreciate Bacchus’ elixirs.

Apart from the recreational and relational aspect the activity can be used to introduce performance evaluation and management, the selection of people, learn the importance of language, description, separation of personal biases, etc.

This activity can be the backbone of a workshop, or a fantastic complement or introduction to a team building or convention.

Board games have always been a very popular form of collective entertainment. What if we take advantage of them to learn skills that are also applicable at work?

Whether as a dynamic element or as a practice of a series of skills within a longer day, a small game often makes the difference in impact and emotional anchorage in the participants.

For example we propose creative dice, werewolf, collective chess, etc., but many others could be adapted.

With them we can develop teamwork, thinking skills, creativity, lateral thinking, non-verbal language, argumentation, influence strategies, etc.

We will share food and conversation with a front-line expert on the topic you want to work on, but instead of teaching things to participants, they will have the opportunity to ask and learn from the guest.

Previously we will have defined with the company the subject and profile of the expert, and we will look for the right person, both for knowledge, trajectory, and communication capacity.

 Life can be understood as a succession of scenarios in which we are playingroles, consciously chosen or not, and interacting with other actors, without knowing the script that awaits us.

In fact, the performing arts in all cultures have always had a dual purpose: to thrill and entertain  but also to convey ideas important  to life.

• Enterprise theatre activity: It consists of making a play, actores scene or improvisation through the theater and   semi-professional actors in which participants can interact to modify the end of the play.
• Movie Scene Activity/ Movie Forum: Selected movie scenes are used to show skills,behaviors and situations you want to work with. One  variant  is the  cinema  forum..
• “TV News” activity: Participants have to prepare a newsroom. They have a very tight time to prepare and record a live news program, starting from the  latest news about a serious pandemic that is spreading around the world.
• Activities with / for storytelling: Storytelling is possibly the oldest and most powerful element of impact and collective communication. That’s why we use it to open or close sessions, to convey powerful ideas, to capture attention, as a common thread of a session, etc.  We also train in the art and science behind this resource to communicators, leaders, vendors and in general anyone who has something important to tell.

We’ve come a long way since the early games. From a few dots and stripes on a screen, to a virtual reality in 3d, completely immersive and realistic. 

 In these immersive virtual reality games you have to work as a team to survive the zombie apocalypse, fulfill missions on spaceships, explore fantastic worlds in which the laws of physics are different, etc.

In addition to being a shocking and memorable experience, we can use the latest and greatest technology to generate situations on which to reflect and learn.

These activities have their origins in a successful didactic innovation developed in the URJC, but it really is a structure that can be used for various contents.

It uses a team competition format based on the novels and dystopian films of “Hunger Games”. This adds an epic context and a cultural reference especially for new generations. Other versions use the context of clandestine Poker in Chicago in the 30s, or a custom-made version of Trivial Pursuit. They can be played in-site or on-line.

With the excuse of this competition, what you really get is:

– Motivate participants
– Assimilate/remember the contents
– Develop teamwork and natural leadership
– Adapt to the pace and availability of participants, whether face-to-face or online

In short, these are original, powerful and effective activities to get participants involved in learning.

The sense of smell is the most powerful and, sometimes, also the most forgotten one; but with adequate stimulation we can discover the immense power of aromas over emotions.

Discover its magic, relive moments, dare to dream and TRAVEL. Yes, TRAVEL! Surely with so many restrictions, travelling is something you miss, right?

We propose an olfactory trip through Japan, New York, Italy, Paris and Marrakech. Five destinations where you will travel through smell, finding, hopefully, your ideal fragance.

Guided by an expert perfume master of one of the most exclusive brands, we will learn to enjoy, in in-site or from home, all the nuances of luxury perfumes. We will also discover the tradition, culture and science that is behind a drop of essence.

And the best part is that you don’t need to prepare luggage!

Although we have more than 200 designed activities, often the client asks us to design / adapt an activity to their circumstances. 

 For example, there can be a corporate message to be conveyed, an ability to develop, a specific problem of the participants to solve, fit within a larger event or program, tight budgets, logistical constraints, inability to do outdoor activities, etc.

That’s where we prove to be consultants in experiential learning, and we make a tailor-made suit, a didactic solution by and for the customer.
