Bamboo Construction
Building together is a very powerful way to grow team spirit. Bamboo is the material of choice to metaphorically represent the flexibility and resilience of a team.
After a short brainstorm about the theme of the building assignment, we set you up in smaller teams. With very simple materials such as bamboo sticks, elastic bands, banners, gutters, cardboard and colored cloths you can build the desired construction. This can range from a giant marble run, triumphal arch, your own castle to a giant beach chair or windmill.
Special effects are built in where necessary and give the entire construction the necessary dynamics. This 'giant' assignment can be done purely for fun, but it is all the more interesting to examine group processes under the supervision of experienced coaches. Collaboration, leadership, creativity, time management are just a few key concepts in this highly dynamic team building activity.
Do you want to get your hands dirty? Brainstorming together to stimulate the creative spirit in your team? Then our Bamboo Experience is for you!

Eco teambuilding
Global warming, climate marches, climate objectives, etc. Words like that are flying around us and it concerns us all.
For companies that want to contribute to “climate awareness” we have developed the “The ClimateGame”. Not just a non-committal game, but a unique interactive mix of team learning and team event with emphasis on the climate. Infotainment in combination with teambuilding. Unseen and unsurpassed.
Armed with an iPad, garbage bags and prods, the teams head out into the forest and surroundings. Solve climate-oriented questions, collect waste, perform thematic photo and video assignments, organize a short environmental march/flash mob, create a work of art out of garbage and so much more.
The ultimate and common objective: to achieve the imposed climate objectives together with all participants and thus contributing to a better climate and a sustainable future for all of us.
If you choose the ClimateGame, then you are already doing a good climate deed. Because Perfect+ has an official agreement with Natuurpunt. Per team that plays the ClimateGame, a new tree is planted somewhere in Belgium on a Natuurpunt site. Every year this involves at least 250m2 of forest.
- Ideal duration: 1.5 to 3 hours.
- Languages available: Dutch, French, English and Dutch/French.
- From 10 to 1000 people
- Recommended number of participants per team: 5 to 8 people.

A connection to oneself and to nature

Breath awareness, connection to the trees, connection to the whole. The forest is our historical natural environment and we find our vital energy there. It is not only the brain that is stimulated when walking in nature, but the whole body. Walking in the open air strengthens the immune system. Phytoncides, molecules secreted by trees and forests into the air, have the effect of lowering blood pressure when inhaled. Walking frees the mind and reduces stress considerably.
