Team Building & Communication
African Drumming as a metaphor
Focus:
- Mechanisms of Communication – I didn’t say anything, if you know what I mean.
- Working with Similarities & Differences – I’m an individual, just like everybody else.
- Managing Innovation – what do you do when you don’t know what you’re doing?
- Planned and intuitive collaboration – my plan is, “I have no plan.”
- Recognising leadership – if I don’t know what I’m doing, who does?
Outcomes:
Through the workshop experience participants can come to realise
- the significance of non-verbal communication
- how to express individuality whilst collaborating with others
- mindfulness can be used as a circuit breaker to stress
- focus on similarities can help to keep things together
- focus on differences can make things more interesting
The workshop emphasises fun and inclusion, collaboration and self-efficacy, with no need for familiarity with drumming or any other music.
Each group member is allocated a particular rhythm pattern to play, and thus becomes part of a team, the members of which collaborate with each other.
Each team then collaborates with the other team(s) to create an interconnection of rhythms forming a unique metaphor for social productivity and harmony.
There are strong connections with the keys of positive psychology:
Belonging and connection
Engagement and communication
