Team building activities to warm your teams in winter in Portugal

Portugal is a popular destination for all kinds of corporate travel, especially during the winter months. Sales kickoffs, product launches, conferences, and off-site meetings are just some of the reasons companies fly their worldwide workforce to Portugal.

Most companies will spend at least some time on team building or team activities so that people can get to know each other better, learn to work better together or learn new trades in a relaxing, communicative environment.

Even though Portugal has a warm climate during the winter months there can be colder days or very wet days 

We provide team-building activities of all sorts, but here are some suggestions for the cooler winter months that don’t require exertion, exposure to the elements, or physical talents of any sort. These activities are perfect for the colder or wet winter days.

Winter team-building ideas for any group size

Fado team building

Make your teams compete in this cultural and fun team building conducted by professional Fado singers. Fado means destiny or fate and originated somewhere as early as the beginning of the 19th century. It became the music of the people and although it originated in Lisbon it quickly evolved its own unique style in other locations of Portugal.
Many times people will spontaneously start singing fado in the streets and bars  making op lyrics that relate to daily life.

In this workshop teams are challenged to create a Fado and perform it. The theme can be defined depending on your preference but maybe company related, product related or a work floor related theme. This team building requires role playing and definition, collaboration and communication. Combined with a Fado dinner and professional Fado show this is a perfect team building for the end of the day but it can be organized at any time.
