Workshop
Description
Working in small groups, participants co-write a story in real time, with each person adding the next twist before passing the narrative on to the next teammate. Part improv game, part creative writing exercise, the format is structured loosely enough to allow genuine spontaneity, with the facilitator guiding pacing and occasionally introducing curveball prompts to keep the energy high.
Benefits
This playful, low-stakes format quickly reveals how individuals on a team collaborate, build on each other's ideas, and respond to unexpected input: often more authentically than traditional team-building exercises. It builds creative confidence and a sense of shared ownership over a final product, and tends to generate genuine laughter and energy, making it a strong choice for closing out an offsite or breaking up a long day of meetings.

About the Host
A multilingual cultural facilitator and founder of Words in Motion, working at the intersection of language, creativity, and cross-cultural communication. With an academic foundation spanning Oxford and the LSE, and experience teaching, writing, and producing cultural programming internationally, I bring together intellectual depth and creative practice to help teams connect more meaningfully with one another and with the people they serve. I design and facilitate workshops on storytelling, creative writing, and cross-cultural literacy, supporting cohesion, relationship development, and authentic communication within organisations. Working trilingually in French, English, and Arabic, I draw on a global, multicultural perspective to help companies navigate diverse markets and build stronger internal culture.
