Team building in essential to promote efective collaboration, through trust and communication between the members of the group. Besides how fun it is, there’s a lot of intention behind this activities.
As part of the ESC project, we participated in a training where we had the opportunity to meet other volunteers from the same organization who are working in different locations across Bulgaria.
It all started in Pirin, with a hike across some lakes and a waterfall, with breath-taking views along all the way. And an amazing surprise, the mountain hut where we were going to stay was all for ourselves, so we had the freedom to choose our rooms, organize super cool meals in the kitchen and use all the space of the common area to put on music, play with the dog, sip rakia and so Tarot.
And as we are all volunteers, coming from different countries, we are all willing to explore and open to new experiences. So we left shyness behind and started talking. First it was the basic questions of “where are you from?” and “what did you study?”, but soon we started sharing our projects for the future, the past experiences that we have been through and our different routines in the places we are living now.
The experience was a boost of energy, and gave us the motivation we needed to face new challenges knowing we have the support of eachother whenever we need it.
