From Planned Team Building to Social Project
"Have a big heart to love unconditionally and a broad mind to embrace the differences that make each of us unique." -D.B. Harrop
At the latest when two existing teams are merged into one, it is time for a teambuilding event. This is exactly what happened on the trading floor and good ideas were needed.
From B for bowling to H for hiking, many suggestions were made, but in the end we ended up with Z for zoo. The new team was expanded by a colourful group of impaired people who are cared for by Lebenshilfe. It quickly became clear that we also wanted to do something good in the course of our event. Time Bank had assured us that they would cover the costs, as our employer provided us with the necessary working time.
So on 16.6, we met with 13 sheltered persons and 3 Lebenshilfe employees at Schönbrunn Zoo. In bright sunshine, we went from enclosure to enclosure, where we were even allowed to attend a short refeeding of the maned seals. Our ladder truck with chilled drinks and snacks for everyone was pulled by Peter, who took great pleasure in it. As a token of our gratitude, he was presented with a gift from the Erste Bank Leisure and Sports Club. After a snack of sausage and cheese sandwiches, apples and sandwiches, we toured the giraffe house, where we were able to see the offspring, and ended our tour at the reptile house. As a farewell, we handed out goodie bags to our new friends, which we were able to fill generously with support from Erste Group, Gründer Center, Freizeit- und Sport-Verein, FLiP, EAM and Nivea Club.
What did we take away from this event?
Kurt Gerhold: "For me, a teambuilding social project is a great way to foster cooperation and team spirit in a group while taking social responsibility."
We would like to thank everyone who helped us to give people with disabilities an unforgettable afternoon -
first and foremost Sabine Sturm from Time Bank, who gave us advice and support.
Next year we would like to have an outing with the same participants to put a smile on their faces again.
