Building on your Family-TEAM





T.E.A.M. Together Everyone Achieves More

Some people think that Team Building is something that is fun but not really useful.
Research shows however that when colleagues work together in a team they will be more productive. The members of the team will feel more respected and connected and will get more energy out of their work. 
Work- teams and Family-teams are very similar. When family members have the feeling they are part of a strong team it will make them feel more happy. Having a strong team can also make everyday life easier. Team members from a strong team are more willing to work together and help out when needed.

Most expat family’s are a strong Team. You have been trough a lot together and you are used to being each others only social life from time to time.
Sometimes we are so busy with our every day life we forget that we function much better when we feel that we belong together. During the holidays most of the time this Team-feeling returns. You (re)discover how funny your partner is and how creative your child.

There are some rules attached to Team Building in a safe and respectful manner:

- Do something active together.
- Everybody should feel completely safe to say and do whatever they want to.
- Each member will listen to the others without judging, giving comments or solutions.
- There is no right or wrong way to do the assignments/games.

When you really stick to these rules even Teens will enjoy playing Team-Building- games together!

The effects can be:

  • enjoy more fun-time together
  • strengthen your family-team
  • (re) discover each others competences
  • a long-term positive effect on your family

Playing together and having fun strengthens the bond you have together. In your everyday life however most of the time there is not much room or time to play. Sometimes it is difficult to think of something to do together.
