Every year, March 8th is an occasion to appreciate femininity in all its forms. We value every woman in our life – 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 the example of Marie Skłodowska Curie who changed the world not once but twice. She founded the new science of radioactivity – even the word was coined by her – 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 goes on. They are strong women. They are female heroes. They are female role models.

Given 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 team building activity that can be relaxing, creative and engaging.

Yes, your colleagues are great and deserve recognition. Here are 8 ideas to celebrate International Women’s Day in your company:

1. The Infinite Loop

Technology and Entertainment.

The Infinite Loop relies on real-time collaboration and communication to generate effective solutions during gameplay. The more accurate the player in the virtual world is in describing the problem, the faster teammates in the real world find the solution. The concept is structured as a powerful business game, stimulating team cohesion and perfecting teamwork through constant feedback.

2. Bookworx

Creativity and CSR.

Bookworx is a team building activity with a strong impact in an underprivileged environment, bringing lasting benefits to children who do not have access to reading and books to help them and inspire them. Working in teams, each participant is responsible for specific tasks, each having an important role in producing colorful and creative libraries.

3. Crescendo

Music and elegance.

Crescendo is an activity that offers participants a unique experience. They will learn to play a stringed instrument in a very short time, and in the end… the result is goosebumps.

4. Big Picture

Colors and energy.

Big Picture is a creative and relaxing activity for your colleagues. Together, they will create a painting composed of several canvases that each of them worked on. Where else do you put it, that the big painting can be put on one of the walls in the office.

5. Think Art

Sculpts and colors.

It is that type of activity that offers the participants art in its purest state. They are challenged to paint a sculpture given some key information.

6. Company got Talent

Talent and Show.

Your colleagues can (re)create the well-known Talent Show through the skills they have – dance, music, magic or comedy, why not?

7. Essence of Excellence

Perfume and elegance

The activity gives your colleagues the opportunity to create their own perfume. Following a recipe and having a range of essences available.

8. Blockbusters

Lights, Camera, Action! The director would say, starting the filming of an original scenario. Your colleagues will be in front of the cameras but also behind them while filming a clip.

So that the day continues in the same style, exciting and creative you can organize an elegant dinner for them. 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 goal is to focus on gender equality and celebrate the progress made by your female colleagues.
