The Institute of Imagination can support your staff to deliver an away day or team building session with a difference. Designed for forward-thinking companies looking to shake up the status quo, our programmes are perfect for teams or companies to embrace creativity and become expert collaborators.
Imagination day themes
Our Imagination Day programmes support your staff’s professional development. Your staff will engage in playful activities with purpose to build the vital skills any business needs, from problem solving and critical thinking to collaboration and confidence.
We tailor our Imagination Days to your company’s needs. There are five themes to choose from, depending what you think a team might need. We can take a little from a few themes or stick to one.
What will I be doing?
Imagination Days break down into three areas; open talk, open activity, open reflection. The main focus is on playful, immersive activities. Our days build confidence and support wellbeing, so we work with an open and innovate approach which sparks creativity in your staff and supports them to approach challenges in a new way. The big difference with us is there’s no right or wrong.
Take a look at some of the activities on offer below.
Sample activity: chain reaction
Inspired by the Rube Goldberg machine, you will build a section of a large chain reaction. The only rule is that it has to set off the section built by the next person. In the end you’ll have one continuous chain reaction that goes from start to finish seamlessly. Ideal for boosting collaboration and communication skills in your team.
Sample activity: toy dissection
Using screwdrivers, seam rippers, scissors and saws, remove a mechanical toy’s insides and explore its circuit boards and mechanisms. The workshop allows you to use a range of tools to reinvent a toy. Ideal for boosting problem solving skills and encouraging experimentation.
Sample activity: cranky contraptions
This workshop gets you to create simple contraptions that use a ‘crank slider’ motion mechanism: a mechanism that can go up and down or side to side. Participants build then create a motion, like the flapping wings or a moving hand. Ideal for encouraging iterative processes and unleashing creativity for an agile team.
