Try a ‘Made in Brussels’ incentive
Action Team Training has created an artistic teambuilding incentive at Brussels-on-Stage, the underground venue in the city centre. There are 4 unusual challenges:

• To rebuild a famous Brussels monument.
• To create a giant surrealist fresco.
• To write an original literary composition in the depths of the Brussels swamps!
• To make a short film which would amaze the Lumière Brothers!

This local theme can easily be built around corporate objectives. It also helps participants learn from experience and take responsibility for change.
