Original team building activities on the BE coast

One of the main characteristics of team building is that it breaks the everyday routine, and this helps a lot to set the mood of the participants in order to achieve the objectives of the activities.

And what better to get out of the day to day routine than a true change of scenery? The Belgian coast offers plenty of amazing options for dynamic and original activities that will help reach a true connection among team members.

As we went over in our article about the top 5 outdoor team building activities, a huge advantage of going outdoors for team building is that getting out of the office is a real break, and this is a great situation to unlock inspiration. Most people feel more relaxed when activities take place in nature, as their mind is cleared of work-related topics, and this state of mind is crucial to achieve a genuine connection among colleagues. And this is a great starting point to strengthen team cohesion.

So for companies from all over Belgium, or even based in Lille, Rotterdam or The Hague, the options for team building activities offered by People First on the Belgian coast are a great opportunity to do something different, engage their employees, and boost motivation!

BONUS ACTIVITY -> BEACH CLEAN-UP

This activity is aligned with one of the new trends that represent the present and future of team building: the Positive Impact Activities. These activities not only engage the team members and the company, but also strengthen the links with the community and the environment.

The Beach Clean Up activity in Knokke includes not only the cleaning of the beach in itself. The day starts with a clinic given by an expert, and includes a workshop so the participants can learn sustainable habits to later incorporate to day to day life. So besides helping the community with concrete action, it has a lasting impact with the practical learnings to implement every day.

In addition to this, companies have to give a donation to the Beach Cleaning Association, equal to the global budget of the event, so they can keep on with the great job in Knokke. For each 1€ raised, 1kg of plastic is cleaned or recycled.

The Beach Clean-Up, as many other positive impact activities, can be at the same time meaningful and really fun. And this combination in a team building activity can really consolidate the bonds among colleagues!

These are just some of the options available for team building activities on the Belgian Coast, to get out of the daily routine and live a thrilling experience that will increase employee engagement and strengthen the links in your team.
