In recent years, social responsibility has become a trend in the corporate events industry. More and more companies have adopted this trend through different methods: cross-country races, charity balls or event sponsorships.
In addition to the impact they have on society, CSR events also bring benefits to the company a>: brand differentiators, innovation or employee engagement. For an accurate implementation of internal CSR campaigns, we come with a selection of 11 teambuilding activities with a CSR twist:
1. Big Picture
It is a creative activity that brings to the fore cooperation, communication and interaction between team members through their involvement in the process of painting a large-scale artistic masterpiece. Most of the times the painting was auctioned and the collected money was donated to a community.
2. Flat Out: Formula 1
A super activity where your team becomes a Formula 1 crew. Communication skills, inventiveness and teamwork come into play in Flat Out: Formula 1. Teams have to design models of Formula 1 cars and then build them to scale close to the real one. At the end of the day, all the teams will start the Formula 1 race to test their cars. The CSR twist is diverse, from donating equipment to some schools to involving children in creating cars or winning and donating bets.
