Teambuilding Kněhyně

The team-building program aimed to enhance participants' skills and knowledge through a series of workshops and lectures.

• Martin Václavík, former President of ESN VSB - TU Ostrava, led a workshop called “ESN in a nutshell”, where he talked about the structure of the ESN organisation from the international to the local level. This was mainly for the newcomers in our section to see how ESN is made up. Afterward, he talked about the benefits of ESN membership, such as soft skills (mainly how to work with people), time management (a crucial skill for any event organiser), representation at university and networking or making new friends.
• Brigit Páleníková, former Event Manager and Treasurer of ESN VSB - TU Ostrava, led a workshop on effective communication. It focused on showing that we are unique and that we need to work with different types of people, each with a different personality. At the end we were divided into groups to build a spaghetti tower in teams to improve our cooperation with each other. The aim was to build the highest spaghetti tower in 18 minutes.
• Radek Páleník, former Event Manager of ESN VSB - TU Ostrava, talked about his motivation, why he stayed in the local section for so long and how to find the motivation within yourself. After this speech, the participants got to know Radek's motivation, why he stayed in the section for so long, and some of them saw themselves in the points he mentioned.

Presentation of local board positions. This was given by current and some past board members to show what each position does in the local section, what its agenda is and what skills are improved along the way.
