Many of our colleagues in the event area and also in the special case of team building measures have given a lot of thought over the past few weeks about how we can also virtually represent our events, which were previously held as face-to-face events. And I am very positively surprised at how many innovative ideas have been created there recently.

I took the time (because there aren't that many events going on anyway) to calmly consider how, in particular, the predominantly emotional experience of a feeling of togetherness, togetherness, solidarity and team spirit could be implemented virtually or online.

And for me and Escola de Samba I have to say: NO!

What we do - experiencing and feeling groove and the resulting sense of belonging, solidarity and team spirit essentially requires a real presence.

Presence means being truly present (also in the double sense of the word). Means to be present, to be present, to develop physical charisma and to be real with presence of mind.

Escola de Samba teambuilding events are therefore still ONLY possible as a face-to-face event - with the necessary distance, appropriate hygiene concept and conform to Corona!
