WHY ECO TEAM BUILDING
4
The issue of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is very topical and remarkable. The European Commission defines it as “the integration of social, environmental, ethical, consumer, and human rights concerns into the companies’ business strategy and operations and in their relationships with the interested parties”. Thanks to our experience in environmental disclosure, we have come up with the idea of proposing a new attitude to the preservation of the environment and the future of all, including the team building area. Business training can be a unique opportunity and the ideal setting to propose a new lifestyle that is applicable in the private as well as in the company to a group of adults. Our proposals do not affect or vary the training methods chosen by the company. Simply, we have designed innovative formats that provide for the creation of useful dynamics for the assessment of trainers while providing a series of sustainable approaches or tips. Eco Team Building © is a new way of doing Team Building, created and proposed by EVENTI IN NATURA, where the search for a sustainable style is the ultimate goal!
LOCATION
5 We have locations of great value both from the point of view of the quality of the service offered and from
the
naturalistic
and
landscaping point of view.
Particular attention is devoted to the quality of food by privileging the use of organic and typical products of the host territory.
TENTED CAMPS
6
A unique experience, an unforgettable night in full contact with nature! A unique proposal of its kind, full of educational and emotional ideas. The group will be involved in the search and retrieval of the materials needed to set up the camp and to mount it. Alternatively, you can find the camp already prepared by our staff. Since it matches many formats of ours, it is particularly ideal for the activities of SURVIVAL, ADVENTURE, EXPEDITION, OFF ROAD, RESCUE and SOFTAIR. We offer accommodation in sustainable tents, with all amenities: toilet area, habitable tents with beds, typical kitchen and relaxation area with hammocks, plus lights and services with photovoltaic system and biodegradable detergents and crockery! There are also low-cost solutions with sleeping bag and igloo tents. TENT AREA: TENTS WITH 2-3-4-6-8 PLACES, BEDS, AIR MATTRESS, SLEEPING BAGS, AIRBEDS, PERSONAL CORNER KITCHEN AREA: CUPBOARD, FIRE AREA AND MEAL AREA SERVICES AREA: CHEMICAL BATHS IN THE TENT OR "GROUND2GROUND" SYSTEM RELAXATION AREA: HAMMOCKS, LANTERNS
ADVENTURE
7
Adventure is a transversal proposal to many of our formats, which includes some of the leading and most performing outdoor training trials. The activity can be modulated by type of trial, difficulty level and timing based on the customer's logistics and training needs. Trials can also end with final score results. Some trial examples: Construction and activities with rafts; cableway and Tibetan bridge; Off-road drive (quad and off-road vehicles); Vehicle recovery trials; Shooting trials or softair; Archery; Orienteering; Building of bridges for vehicle crossing; Building of stretchers and transport of injured people...
SOFT OUTDOOR
8
These trials are often used in classical team building events and are easy to do also in locations that do not include interesting naturalistic areas. They are often known by business trainers who are able to interpret them in order to get important indicators and reflection tips for the participants themselves. For this reason, it is advisable that they are preceded and followed by briefing and debriefing sessions by the training staff. The activity provides scores and rankings or can be declined in "Art Rescue": recovery of parts of an artwork or discovery and excavation of an archaeological site. Once reached the area concerned, the participants will proceed with the operations of transept, excavation, retrieval and cataloging of the finds or the assembly of parts of the artwork recovered. Trial examples: A-Team; Big foot; Spider web; Archery; Orienteering; Bâton pass; Hoop pass; Acid pool; Caterpillar; Channels; Blind walk; Robot writer; Raft...
EXPEDITION
9
• EXPEDITION SAHARA • Expedition Italia The realization of an experiential journey in the Sahara has to encompass a number of aspects that will have to contribute to a common goal, going beyond the simple "visit of a place"; rather, it must have true features of an EXPEDITION. The main element around which the whole building revolves will be to make the participants of this adventure the true PROTAGONISTS. The idea is to divide the group into 2 teams that will have to face a series of daily life trials, followed by the organization staff, ensuring that exclusivity and truthfulness that only an environment like the Sahara can offer. The route will wind up around ancient caravan routes that, in the past, were covered by the famous IMAGEREN… best known as Touareg, men who liked to be free, and as such, decided to live in complete autonomy in these seemingly dry and hostile lands. The ultimate goal of this experience is to make every single individual, meant as an essential part of a GROUP, able to grasp those aspects that can turn even a remote Sahara corner into a hospitable and livable environment. We will also learn to use its silences, its immensity and the respect it imposes, as a true emotional amplifier along a path of educational growth linked to the daily duties and the inevitable group dynamics that will be created.
EXPEDITION
10
• EXPEDITION SAHARA • Expedition Italia The areas where we work will revolve around 5 fundamental aspects related to group life and survival, which can be traced back to business metaphors and can be summarized in the following macro categories: • ORIENTATION - Identify a goal and work out an operational plan for its achievement; • FOOD RATIONING and CHOICE OF EQUIPMENT – Assess and manage the available resources in the best possible way; • NIGHT CAMP PITCH – Coordination, team working and creativity; • INTERPRETATION OF THE TERRITORY AND PROGRESS CAPABILITY – Problem solving, ability to adapt to new situations, innovation; • INTREPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND ABILITY TO LIVE IN A GROUP – Communication skills, refine the ability to interact and empathize.
EXPEDITION
11
• Expedition Sahara
• EXPEDITION ITALIA A unique experience to know and live Italy in the sign of adventure and group spirit! Throughout the activity, participants will be actively involved in the search for "goals" and in the choice of routes, as well as in 4x4 off-road driving trials and in pitching tents. The aim of the journey is to discover the most striking corners of Italy in a climate of collaboration, sharing and, therefore, full involvement. During some stretches of the route, the participants themselves will be able to test off-road driving and route reclamation operations: use of accessories such as plates, blades, hoist, ceiling, to safely overcome difficult points (logrolling, "Step-by-step" technical passages, ford crossing, etc.) and use of GPS coordinates, compasses and maps. Starting from the base camp, the team will have to reach the points indicated and face a series of trials until reaching the advanced tented camp. Camp pitch, preparation of a BBQ dinner and evening around the fire under the thousand eyes of the starry sky. On the second day, the goal will be to return to the base camp according to the modes described here. During the movement, off-road paths are preferred to the asphalt (within the limits of the current rules and the feasibility of the route when crossing it).

HIGH ROPES
22
The world of adventure parks has set foot in Italy for about ten years, offering moments of pure adrenaline in total safety and in amazing natural environments. It is, therefore, customary to propose these routes for incentives and team building but, unfortunately, many adventure parks are too far away from locations suitable for hosting corporate events and meetings. Our offer comes out from these assumptions and we have been providing it in Italy for years with excellent results: a "tailored and home-based" adventure park. We have many different ateliers and we guide our clients in the choice of the best one suited to the audience they are addressed to, as well as to the host location and the budget available. The installation and operation of the activities are carried out by qualified staff and we use only certified and reviewed materials according to law.
ORIENTEERING
23
Orienteering activities have always been used in the world of experiential training. It is the ideal metaphor for business training courses dedicated to teamwork, problem solving, achievement of goals... We offer different modes: walking, biking, aboard our off-road vehicles, canoeing, boat, Segway. Moreover, you can implement the activities using book or tablets, including SOFT OUTDOOR or SURVIVAL trials. Ask us how!

OFF-ROAD
EVENTI IN NATURA offers a series of off-road activities using off-road vehicles and quads implemented with a sustainable approach. For years, our vehicles have been working on a daily basis in a natural environment during travels, hiking, sports and outdoor activities. These experiences gave rise to our ATV (All Terrain Vehicles) formats. Our off-road activities are mainly carried out with ASPEN ecological fuels, ensuring the least possible impact on the environment. Training Target: communication, time keeping, problem solving, team working. E.D.O. - Eco Drive Off-Road A modern and sustainable approach to the use of off-road vehicles in a natural environment. It is a driving method where the presence of the group is essential to coordinate the progression of the vehicle through the use of road books and GPS, facilitating radio communications with the rest of your team or with other teams, carrying out site inspections, reclaiming unmanageable stretches and identifying the best route. Goals of the activity: Fuel and vehicle saving, sustainable choice of route, safety and above all ... achievement of the ultimate goal within the established time!

SOFTAIR, PAINTBALL, LASERTAG
26
Softair has play dynamics similar to paintball, but closer to a war simulation, using replicas of real firearms and biodegradable shots, which are smaller and in full plastic. Paintball is a sports discipline created in the States and consisting in shooting through special rifles, called markers, colored paint balls against one or more opponents. It is a fighting and strategic game, increasingly required by companies as Team Building activity, with the goal of getting the most in terms of performance from their employees in stressful situations but, at the same time, without losing sight of the play aspect. The balls used for the game consist of a biodegradable soy preparation and are totally non-toxic, which creates no problems for either people or nature. The lasertag is the new frontier of simulated war: it is played without masks or protections, using infrared rifles. A new way to play in total freedom!

This format matches our Caique & Sailing proposal
28
CAIQUE & SAILING The format is available in various Italian and foreign locations. Where would you like to go?
CAIQUE The CAIQUE was conceived as a fishing and cargo boat, built in wood and large ensuring greater comfort than traditional sailboats. Sailing takes place with the help of onboard engines, due to the space occupied by the cockpit and other superstructures necessary to make navigation more comfortable. The activity by caique has less impact from a physical point of view and is more suitable for a combined approach than Sailing. WHAT WE DO: Short sailing School, Boat drive and management, Orienteering, Treasure Hunt, Fishing, Cooking. SAILING A full-immersion in nautical-sailing environment to experience the dynamics of a crew and compare them with the dynamics of the business world.

The world of bees is rich in charm and provides wide educational and employment opportunities. Thanks to the sponsorship and collaboration of public authorities, associations and local farmers, we have developed a project that can be implemented all over Italy and is aimed at national and international beneficiaries. We propose the creation (using DIY equipment and materials) of beehives for the creation or expansion of productive apiarian activities in Italy and in developing countries. This support is very important in the light of a general improvement in food conditions in poorer areas, through food integration projects that envisage the use of easy-to-use food such as honey, pollen and, in special cases, royal jelly. Another interesting proposal is the creation of educational transparent beehives for school activities and educational farms. The model of the proposed object already exists on the market and meets all the necessary safety requirements.

LEGO BUILDING
38
The use of the famous toy bricks in the educational field comes out in the nineties in Denmark at LEGOÂŽ as a business method to facilitate decision-making and problem solving. Only later, since the early 2000s, the system was coded into a well-known and used methodology around the world. The method is the ideal synthesis between the two main approaches to the learning and training process: - Kolb's learning cycle: experience, reflection, abstraction and practice; - the problem solving cycle: identifying the problem, defining alternative solutions, choosing the best alternative, implementing the chosen solution and verifying its effectiveness. The method is, thus, extremely effective, intuitive and engaging, capable of activating the main resources of the person through the use of metaphors and imagination, story-making and cooperative and collaborative "game", problem solving and change management activities, simulation of emerging strategies and definition of concrete and shared action plans. Starting from the three basic applications (role, team life / team working and organizational identity), LEGOÂŽ can be used to facilitate processes of organizational integration and / or business value transmission as well as support for training processes or design and development activities of web content.

Having a strong emotional impact, learning the "haka" dance will leave the participants an indelible memory of this experience and will increase the sense of belonging to the company. In his book "Maori Games and Haka", the scholar Alan Armstrong describes Haka as follows: Haka is a composition played with many tools. Hands, feet, legs, body, voice, language, eyes... all play their part in bringing the challenge, welcome, exultation, or contempt contained in the words to an end. It is orderly, yet emotional. More than any other aspect of Maori culture, this complex dance is the expression of the race passion, vigor and identity. It is, at its best, a message of the soul expressed through words and attitudes." "A scary force!" This is the feedback that is often heard by those who have seen or those who were involved in the HAKA. Through dance, screaming and body and face expressions, a group feels cohesive and consequently takes courage and strength. It overcomes the fear of conflict and becomes all one with the others.
