What is Paheli? Paheli is an initiative by Strategic Design Management students of National Institute of Design. It is a service to help in team
building and communication skills through community engagement and social
interaction.
Paheli : Need Being designers, students always end up working
in teams in real life scenarios. Paheli is a platform, that provides students team building, co-operation and communication skills by creating stress free environments for them. We felt Paheli could help them loosen into group
up
by combining the need of
social interaction and rope them
activities which will help them break their monotonous routine.
Paheli : Scope The student community in NID is mostly stressed
due to individual projects and strict deadlines. This pushes them to invest their time and energy in recreational activities to take a break from work. We felt Paheli could help them release their stress and leave them with a thought

Feedback
The ambiguity created in the barn yard was nice.. But we expected a little more out of it
The truth and lie was a shock for us… we did know each other well but didn‟t knew who would strategize what.. As most of us wrote things that we knew remained common for us
The game made us find out crazy and surprising things about each other
The blind and mute act was crazy… It made me think how can I communicate without actually talking
Everyone was talking about it. Now I feel good talk we also played..
I don‟t know what kind of learning this game has provided me but it definitely helped me to know few more people…
I loved the truth and lie game.
After a long time we are sitting together. I get to know what people think about me…
You need to develop few more games in such a way that it seems different levels. once you have played one, you move to next level.
Every participant got a chance to argue and defend themselves. It was interesting to hear the arguments.
I enjoyed the game. I wish to play more…
