00749506

This forge event is part of a team-building measure under the motto "Creating something together". The basis of a functioning team is trust. And a team only achieves top performance when everyone contributes to their abilities and the motivation for working together and the common goal are at the forefront. Our blacksmithing team-building activity focuses on the collaborative forging of an object. · First, the team defines the goal and discusses the process in detail. In smaller groups, the individual components are then created, ultimately coming together to form a single, cohesive piece. · During the creative process, as in professional life, "complications" typically arise, and the entire team decides on changes and discusses their impact on the final goal. · Thus, the motto "Creating something together" is central. · The entire process is led by a trained blacksmith and museum educator, ensuring competent execution and flexible adaptation to group dynamics throughout. This event focuses on the team and the shared goal. At the same time, participants gain insights into various work steps and basic techniques of a fascinating craft.
