3How We Did It
How was the programme delivered?
In the Blindfold Square Challenge, the teams were blindfolded and armed with only a rope. Their mission? To shape the rope into different geometrical figures, using only verbal cues and touch. The participants embraced their inner situational leaders, directing the team, while the troubleshooters unleashed their creativity to find innovative solutions. This exciting activity ensured that communication was the ultimate tool for success.
As for the Million Pixels Challenge, the participants transformed into Picassos and Pollocks, armed with brushes and paint. Each team was given a stencil to replicate on an individual canvas. Onlookers might have found the individual stencils perplexing, but when the teams' canvases were united, the final picture was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The merged canvases formed a meaningful image conveying a powerful message: "Encourage Each Other To Reach The Top."
