The Bioengineering team took the most out of a brief Estonian summer and had a day bonding over open air activities. We had a day for sailing, hiking in Naissaare island and enjoying meals together. The time spent together sparked new conversations and created bonds between team members who may not communicate a lot during regular working hours. One of the interns commented: “I had so many conversations with people that I don´t normally talk to, it is worth a couple of months´ conversations within one day!”. Relaxed environment is a good opportunity to learn about the team members and everyone agreed that we had a lot of fun.
As an international team the learning moment of the day was intercultural communication. The participants were invited to step out of their comfort zones and participate in games which required performing tasks out of the box.
