Internal Team Reflection: Skill Day Activity
Sharing Ideas and Internal Reflection Moments: The Importance of a Skill Day Activity
In the world of cultural organizations, it is essential to find dedicated moments for the sharing of ideas and collective reflection, but this often clashes with the difficulty of creating protected and meaningful spaces for all team members. For dynamic and innovative organizations like Melting Pro, sharing internal experiences, reflections, and practices becomes a continuous challenge. However, specific moments like the MeP Skill Day provide a valuable opportunity to reflect on the work done and the skills acquired, openly and without external pressures.
The MeP Skill Day was created precisely as a moment for reflection and sharing, an opportunity for the team to pause and focus not only on daily practical work but also on the importance of engaging with each other, exchanging opinions, and learning from one another. It is an event that, as described in the book Ritual Works by Jenny B. Phillips, aims to establish rituals that, while simple in execution, can generate meaningful growth moments both individually and collectively.
In a workplace that is constantly evolving and where people with diverse skills interact, it is crucial to pause and reflect together, create shared rituals that allow the group to grow, even through confrontation and self-reflection. Ritual Works teaches us that sometimes, the act of stopping, discussing openly, confronting each other, and growing together is essential to keep sight of both common goals and the individual motivations that drive us to do our work well.
The MeP Skill Day is therefore not only an opportunity for professional growth but also a window into a working model that values collaboration and mutual learning. Sharing moments of reflection and engaging together allows us to face daily challenges with greater awareness, strengthening the bonds among colleagues and enhancing the quality of teamwork.
