By definition, team building is the process by which people who work together become a productive team.
Even though I am a new member in Mediazone, I can already say that the team building here is on a really advanced level. All those indoor and outdoor activities create a strong bond between the Mediazone team which keeps everything in great balance.
Activities that in my opinion have lots of teambuilding benefits, are of course the training sessions -where we learn for example about new technology, how to use equipment, edit – and handle events. These are group activities on the most part.
In contrast with other trainings that I have experienced in the past, Mediazone always finds the best and most effective ways to keep everyone’s attention, and actually lets us learn something new. Some other activities that help the team building process grow, are the events. We all communicate with each other professionally in order to get work efficiently done. That is something that keeps us close in both professional and personal level. I personally understood that even though we are all students, we have to acknowledge our limits and be strict judges of ourselves to progress.
As a new volunteer, I can proudly say that being a part of this amazing journey is one of the most important things that happened in my life. Mediazone is a huge opportunity in which I have the chance to master my teamwork skills through all those activities and it is something that I would probably not have learned before the end of my studies.
The way that everything is organized in Mediazone makes me understand that in order to become a serious professional in this industry, I have to let my egoism go, concentrate on my work and give the best I can for me and for my colleagues. Team building is all of the above!
The powerful feeling of understanding and willingness to help is what team building in Mediazone is for me.
