The Project

It’s like in real life: things change and we have to learn to adapt to new situations. We can only do that by – literally - moving closer together. This can be physically experienced with this learning scenario. The group needs new strategies: how can for example “help” and “teamwork” be built differently? Support is truly given with this highly dynamic training tool.


How It's Done

The goal is for the entire group to stand on a small pedestal for a predetermined amount of time – without touching the ground! To succeed, they need to form a stable “sculpture” that allows the group to find its balance. Once they solve this problem, they’re in for a surprise: like a Russian doll, the pedestal contains the next smaller pedestal they must balance on, and inside that one there’s another, and another... New strategies must be developed, discarded, and reworked many times throughout the process!
