This has been an amazing day. We had a lot of team building activities which did the work-we not only remembered the names of all the participants of the course, but we also got to know one another, share ideas, and work together.
I can say that in a strange way, the activity in which we were blind-folded was an eye-opener. My first thought was that it was a short entance into the world of blind people, just a glimpse of their every-day struggle. It is a world in which you are not sure which way to go and not to bump into people and things, a world in which your focus moves from your sight to your hearing. We had to listen to one another in order to successfully make a square holding a rope in our hands. We developed a good strategy, we gave instructions, and even more importantly, we followed the instructions given by others, so that when we removed our blind-folds, we were amazed by the result.
This activity developed our sense of unity and of the importance of working together on a problem, because we are more powerful when we act as a team.
