GESTER Two days trip for Outward Bound
December 29, 2018
December 24-25, 2018, all members of GESTER went to the Putian Jiulong Valley National Forest Park in Fujian Province for a two-day expansion training. This expansion training aims to train the team, enhance trust, promote team communication, enhance teamwork. It also encourages everyone to take responsibility, trust each other, challenge themselves. This expansion training helped to enhance the team's desire to advance and cohesiveness, and helped to create a united, passionate, excellent business team with strength and ability. After arriving in the Jiulong Valley, we first randomly divided into four teams (Commando team, Nine Dragons Team, Musou Team, Invincible Team), and each team elected a captain to facilitate the organization of the event. With the active participation of each team, 4 teams have successfully completed and show the design of the team name, team call and team logo within the specified time, and also have promised their own punishment once lost the game. On the first day of the event, four teams participated in the four training programs:Take water from a limited area; Build a device with some tubes to blow the balloon;Move the tower with puzzle; Have all members cross a small window.Each team completed the training well and shared their feelings of success and failure in training.

At first everyone was eager to try, but the facts found that individuals alone could not pass. Under the arrangement of the captain, we tried to help few members cross first. The process was very difficult, several times of the "electric shock" happened and we had to restart again and again. With effective teamwork and patience, some members had crossed the grid without “electric shock". With their help in other side of the grid, more and more members had crossed and we finally finished the game. Although we won the game as a team, the work of every member was important and they were responsible for the results and the final performance. Mistakes in any member can lead to “electric shock” and lead the team to failure. When we were helping member crossing the grid, each one should pay attention to the actions of other members and be kindly reminded once they were making mistake. Through this activity, we realized that the details determine success or failure. The success of one m...
