TREASURE HUNT - Go Team - TBA

With the Go Team team building program, we can turn any destination into an interactive playground that offers a fun context for discovering local history and culture.

The activity motivates employees by creating conditions where everyone can freely express their ideas and opinions. Teams work outside of their normal work environment, which encourages them to think creatively, outside of their normal routine.

ARTY PARTY - Painting and enjoying the glass of wine

Team building program where participants receive their picture on canvas. No painting experience is necessary, as this is not a typical art workshop.

Unless you were able to have a glass of wine with your art teacher. Excuses that the participants are “ANTI-TALENTED” do not exist. The animators of the program guide the group step by step, from the blank canvas to the final image. How do kids always get the picture right? Because they’re having fun. And that’s what an arty party is. It also has a therapeutic effect (wine and painting).

Always smiling, energetic lady from Primorje region, who loves good food, will lead the group through special cooking techniques, dessert preparation or even outdoor cooking.
