Team building does not always have to involve intense physical activities or puzzle-solving. A team can also spend time working with craft materials and using their hands. At Kym Viet, the K001 experience is built around the theme “From Heart to Hands: Empathy and Creativity” and combines a workshop with other hands-on activities.
The key part of a creative craft workshop team building experience is what participants actually do. Instead of simply touring the workshop, teams have time to observe, practice and look back at what they have created during the session.
What is the craft workshop for teams?
K001 is a Kym Viet experience program for different visitor groups, including businesses looking for team building, partner reception or CSR activities. The program lasts 150 minutes and includes 7 activities, running from Monday to Saturday.
During the experience, participants can create a stuffed toy or a hand-painted cushion and take the item home. Guidance is provided bilingually in Vietnamese and English.
What will teams experience?
The experience begins with an introduction to the activity, followed by guidance from artisans before participants start practicing. The focus is on bringing participants closer to craft work and the process of making an item by hand.
During the hands-on part, participants take part directly in the activities included in the program and can see how their work develops. The final item may be a stuffed toy or a hand-painted cushion, depending on the experience selected.
Getting familiar with materials and practice samples
The workshop provides the materials needed for the craft activity as part of the program. Participants do not need to prepare the workshop materials themselves.
Rather than only seeing a finished product, teams experience part of the process of making it during the session. This moves the experience from simply observing to directly practicing.
Observing artisans demonstrate techniques
Artisans take the role of instructors during the experience, focusing on craft techniques and the work included in the workshop. Participants observe the guidance before beginning their own practice.
The focus when introducing the artisans is their craftsmanship and professional role. Kym Viet has more than 50 artisans with disabilities, while the workshop itself centers on handmade products and craft skills.
Hands-on practice
Hands-on practice is at the center of the workshop. Participants work directly on the activity provided rather than only listening to an introduction or watching the production process.
The practice takes place within the seven activities of K001. Participants can create a stuffed toy or a hand-painted cushion and take it home after the experience.
Completing the work and reviewing the result
At the end of the journey, participants have a specific item or piece of work to look back on. For K001, the stuffed toy or hand-painted cushion created during the experience can be taken home.
This gives teams a clear result of what they worked on during the workshop. The experience therefore centers on the process of making something together with a tangible outcome.
Where does the value of the experience lie?
A craft workshop gives teams a different pace from team building activities focused mainly on physical movement. Participants observe instructions, work with materials and concentrate on the task in front of them.
K001 is built around the theme “From Heart to Hands: Empathy and Creativity”. The program also includes learning sign language and an activity where guests order drinks using sign language at the café.
