Increased Connection and Collaboration at Playful Tug-of-War Event Workshop
Increased Connection and Collaboration at Playful Tug-of-War Event Workshop
Description
At the Malmö Festival, we turned a classic tug-of-war game into a playful experiment in cross-border connection. The workshop brought together participants from Sweden, Denmark, and beyond, using the simple act of pulling a rope to spark laughter, teamwork, and unexpected conversations.
By blending physical play with lighthearted challenges, we broke down barriers, literally and figuratively, creating a shared experience that celebrated collaboration over competition.
Outcome
- Playful collaboration breaking down barriers, fostering trust and camaraderie among participants from diverse backgrounds, cultures, or teams.
- Interactive, low-stakes activities spark innovative thinking and encourage participants to approach challenges with curiosity and flexibility.
- Shared playful experiences create lasting memories and networks, bridging gaps between groups, organizations, or communities.
