team building + painting = easy team painting

An extraordinary team experience, proven over 7 years of practice with more than 1'000 participants.

Stéphane Ducret proposes an off site group experience that breaks away from the daily work routine, to generate new interactions between team members.

The experience will be relaxed in order to create an intimacy, to get out of the ordinary and to give the feeling of living something unique.

For half a day (2h30-3h approx.), your collaborators put themselves in the shoes of an artist to discover or rediscover postmodern and contemporary art:

Stéphane Ducret presents a complete slide-show on the artists that are the themes of the workshop.

Then, with the help of his assistants, he will gather you in groups to paint "in the manner of..." and gives you simple instructions that everyone can follow.

Combine this with an aperitif or meal and your afternoon or evening will be complete and successful.
