Eagles Flight
On the morning Thursday the 22nd of September a small group from my year took part in a workshop called Eagle’s Flight. We assembled in the halla nua before regular classes commenced at 8:50. The man incharge met us at the door and spilt all twenty-eight of us into five groups and handed us a map and two envelopes. The first envelope had many things inside including many small laminated cards. There were about five different types of cards, they had different uses such as, fuel, supplies, tents and spare tires. The second envelope contained many sheets that contained a lot of helpful information about what the whole workshop was about. The man then explained what was going on in further detail and we were soon ready to play.
As a small team of five or six people we had many jobs to do in a small amount of time which means we needed to co-operate and work together. The objective of the game was to get to an allocated point on the map we were given, known as the ‘gold mine’, as quickly as we could and use our fuel and supplies to do so. The problem was we had a limited amount of supplies and needed to trade and collaborate with the other teams so we could get to the ‘gold mine’, earn gold and make our way back home as a team as soon as possible.
The overall aim of the game was for all of the teams to work together and collaborate so as a whole group of twenty-eight we could collect as much gold as possible and get the highest score as a big group as well as winning as a small group.
I really enjoyed the Eagle’s Flight workshop as I feel it brought all of us closer as a group and we learned to work together much better. It also helped us to think about things in a different way and see things from a different perspective. It helped me look at things and problems from a more positive and problem solving view.
