and here comes "The Frozen 5"


It was a great two days we have spent at Lejondals Slott Mansion, 45 km outside Stockholm. Team buildings activities took place, from a blind folded - snow storm - excercise, figuring out the program objectives, understanding the learning by doing notion, the value concepts, the how, the what, the crocodile - river crossing excercise, a lot lot of reflections, and lots lots of food!

By the end of the team building activities we were divided into 5 groups. All were ready, with some enthusiams, and with some concerns, to take on the assignments given to us.

The Frozen 5 emerged, we are the fifth group, and we are five members. We were pleased to discover the diversity of talents we have in this group the minute we sat togather and discussed our assignments. We were also pleased to realize that we all come from different countries, and are diverse enough to give different interesting perspectives. Five members coming from Sweden, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan and Syria. As hard as it sound in means of communication, we are excited about the job we have at hand, and are ready to take on our assignments.

We have no plan figured out yet, we haven't come up with ideas yet, but we are enjoying Mark's lectures, and learning new tools and tips that would help us broaden our insights and bring out our creative juices.
