Team-building with sheep – communication, trust and team spirit in the great outdoors
Team-building with sheep – growing together, communicating and building trust
Are you looking for an extraordinary team-building experience that will strengthen your team in the long term? At the Philippshof in Mechernich-Floisdorf, your staff will experience teamwork in a whole new way – together with our sheep.
Sheep react immediately to the behaviour of a group. Only when communication, trust, leadership and cooperation are working effectively will the flock move towards its goal as one. It is precisely this that yields valuable insights which can be directly applied to everyday working life.
Following an introduction, participants get to know our animals and take part in initial trust-building exercises. The team then works together to guide the flock of sheep safely. In the process, roles, communication and decision-making processes become apparent in a natural way.
Through group discussion, we reflect on the experiences and apply the insights gained to everyday working life.
What your team can expect:
• an extraordinary team-building experience in the great outdoors
• Strengthening communication and collaboration
• experiencing trust and leadership
• authentic experiences with our tame sheep
• personalised support
• A group picnic with snacks and drinks
Our team-building activities are ideal for companies, departments, managers, project teams and staff outings. The Philippshof is situated in the Eifel region and is easily accessible from Cologne, Bonn, Aachen, Düren and Euskirchen.
Our team events take place in the countryside and promote a mindful approach to the environment and animals. We work with local partners, avoid unnecessary packaging waste, sort our rubbish and use mainly reusable materials. Where possible, our food is sourced locally. Our animal-assisted programmes foster an appreciation for nature, sustainability and the responsible use of resources. We only use electricity on site for the electric fencing units, and these are solar-powered.
Our team event is suitable for groups of between 8 and 20 people. Larger groups are also possible by arrangement.
