Team members are given headbands (they do not know what their own headband says) which are keyed to a set of instructions describing how other members should respond to that individual. The group is then given an engaging activity to be completed while adhering to the headband information. Participants are led to understand how stereotyping, inference, and projection influence how people interact with each other and how misinterpretation can create stress and cause individuals to withdraw. They will also see the critical role that understanding and acceptance of diversity can play in an environment.
Debrief for a powerful learning experience
Experiential learning activities are based on the principles of
experiential education, and serve as the basis for engaging team building programs that deliver high impact team and leadership skills development. Debriefing occurs after the activity and is an important process designed to synergize, strengthen and transfer learning from the experience to real-life, on-the-job situations. Our professional facilitators can tailor, modify and debrief each activity to meet the specific needs of your team.
