Teams work together to design and create multi-use water bottles, bags and non-plastic straws, which they will then promote in local hotels and shops or shopping centres, to promote their company and brand through the use of their logos and to increase awareness on the importance of stopping the use of plastic.
- To plan and organize a community event
- To consider ways to achieve corporate social responsibility
- To improve cooperation as a team
- To work on creativity, critical thinking and innovation
- To consider ways in CSR can be translated into a work environment
- To learn new skills with uses outside the workplace
- To explore a new culture
Educating both tourists and the local community is the best way to reduce the consumption of single use plastic. By creating innovative designs with a message, display stands to be visible in hotels and giveaway items for people to take and use instead of single use bags, bottles and straws we can reduce waste one day at a time!
In the half day program, teams design and make multi-use bags and water bottles, using stencils and paint to create their company logo or other messages and educational content on the items.
They can also create promotional stands and signage to explain the costs of single use plastics to educate the public. Then, they can distribute these items as free gifts in public areas in hotels or beach areas at the same time as explaining about these initiatives.
In the full day program, with cooperation from local businesses, these items can be taken for distribution in other hotels, shopping malls or convenience stores, where again, participants can stop passers-by to hand out items and educate people on the program, and leave signs to continue creating awareness.

Scoring and a winning team is not applicable as this is not a competitive activity, however this may be implemented upon the client’s wishes.
Insurance and instructor supervision are important safety factors with any event, and in the event of an emergency, transport and medical backup will be standing by.
The event briefing takes place at the activity location or the client’s hotel meeting room or lobby. In the briefing the group is separated into teams and introduced to the facilitators, then the lead facilitator gives an introduction of the event including instructions and objectives for the activity.
In the de-brief the lead facilitator goes through the event challenges and asks each team questions to assess their own performance before announcing and awarding the winning team if applicable.
There’s also time for providing further donations to the beneficiary and a group photo with the people of the beneficiary.
