In Hands On, participants roll up their sleeves and dive into a creative team moment. Each person chooses a colour, paints one hand and adds their print to a massive blank canvas. After cleaning up, they sign their mark with a one-word affirmation. The result is a striking visual statement of unity and individuality. Displayed throughout the event or returned to the office, the canvas becomes a lasting symbol of collaboration and shared energy. This simple yet powerful activity sparks conversation, eases tension and sets a positive tone for everything that follows.
