Team Building for Teens Without the Eye Rolls

A practical live session for teachers who want to help teenagers communicate, participate and connect without making team-building feel childish, awkward or forced.

Upcoming live session

Team Building for Teens

Team-building activities can quickly feel awkward or forced for teenagers. During this webinar, the Operation Reconnect team will demonstrate activities that feel age-appropriate, purposeful and genuinely engaging.

You will see how to explain the activities, organise a full class, support reluctant students and keep everyone involved without placing unnecessary pressure on individuals.
