Teambuilding

On Monday and Tuesday this week the two economics classes went out into the countryside to a camp called tygegården, which is basically a big cabin in the woods. The week before we all did a survey which was supposed to decide what kind of person we are in a group situation. There were four possible results: Relator (kind, sensitive, makes sure everyone's all right), Motivator (energetic, leadership qualities), Producer (driven, goal oriented) and I ended up as a Processor. I still don't understand what a Processor's qualities are supposed to be so I suspect that's just where they stick all the other people in.

We were divided into eight groups, each with a different responsibility. One group was in charge of lunch, one had to do an activity with everyone, one group took pictures and video, etc. My group did bean bag throwing and tug o' war.

On Monday night we watched a Swedish movie called "Ett Öga Rött", which means "One Eye Red". It was about Moroccan immigrants in Stockholm and predjustice and adapting to a new culture.

We stayed until about noon on Tuesday and that was that. I found it to be very interesting. I learned a lot, mainly how to play Swedish card games. It was an interesting two days.
