Every year, March 8 is an occasion to appreciate femininity in all its forms. We cherish every woman in our lives - girlfriend, wife, mother, grandmother, daughter or sister.
Over the years, they have shown us how great they are and what wonderful things they can leave behind. Take Marie Skลodowska Curie who changed the world not once, but twice. She founded the new science of radioactivity - she even coined the word herself - and her discoveries launched effective cures for cancer; or Queen Victoria, Princess Diana, J.K. Rowling, Mother Teresa, Cleopatra, Frida Kahlo, Michele Obama and the list can go on. They are strong women. They are hero women. They are role-model women.
Considering how much time we spend at work, our colleagues become an important part of our lives. So let's dedicate this day to them as they deserve.
You can start with a healthy brunch and a teambuilding activity that can be relaxing, creative and engaging.
Yes, your colleagues are cool and deserve recognition. Here are 8 ideas to celebrate International Women's Day in your company:
Technology and Fun.
The Infinite Loop relies on real-time collaboration and communication to generate effective in-game solutions. The more accurate the player in the virtual world is in describing the problem, the faster real-world teammates find the solution. The concept is structured as a powerful business game, stimulating team cohesion and perfecting teamwork through constant feedback.
Creativity and CSR.
Bookworx is a teambuilding activity with a powerful impact in a disadvantaged environment, bringing lasting benefits to children who lack access to reading and books to help and inspire them. Working in teams, each participant is responsible for specific tasks, each playing an important role in producing colorful and creative libraries.
Music and elegance.
Crescendo is an activity that offers participants a unique experience. They will learn in a very short time to play a stringed instrument, and in the end... the result is goosebumps.
Colors and energy.
Big Picture is a creative and relaxing activity for your colleagues. Together they will create a painting, made up of several canvases that they have each worked on. What's more, the big picture can be put on one of the walls in the office.
Sculptures and colors.
It is the kind of activity that offers participants art in its purest state. They are challenged to paint a sculpture given a few key pieces of information.
Talent and Show.
Your classmates can (re)create the famous Talent Show with the skills they have - dance, music, magic or comedy, why not?
Fragrance and elegance
The activity gives your colleagues the opportunity to create their own perfume. By following a recipe and choosing from a range of scents.
Lights, Camera, Action! The director would say, kicking off the filming of an unusual scenario. Your colleagues will be in front of and behind the cameras as they shoot a clip.
To keep the day going in the same exciting and creative style, you can organize an elegant dinner. Where motivational speeches or on topics of common interest can take place.
There are a multitude of possibilities to make this day a memorable one. The overall aim is to focus on gender equality and celebrate the progress made by your female colleagues.
