In a display of camaraderie and teamwork, 35 staff members from the Faculty of Health Sciences came together on Friday 5 April for a teambuilding activity in Valletta. The staff engaged in several fun activities, that brought them together both personally and professionally. The event involved a challenging treasure hunt around the capital city followed by a series of traditional games. The participants were first divided into 8 teams and provided with a set of photographs that they had to replicate, as they navigated through the streets of Valletta. The team building activity aided to strengthen interpersonal relationships while contributing to foster a sense of unity and collaboration among the participants, who were provided with an opportunity to break away from their daily work routine.
After the treasure hunt, new teams were formed with each team participating in a set of traditional Maltese games. The games included: Brilli, Waqqa Landa, Imxi fl-għoli, Passju, Boċċi tal-ħġieġ, Boċċi tal-injam, Imxi fuq karru.
The teambuilding activity ended with a tug of war between the teams.
The treasure hunt was won by team 6 made up of the captain Jonathan, Marika, Sharon and Sephora. Team 1, made up of Adrienne as captain, Anne Marie, Anthea and Eve, won the traditional games.
The following were the scores of the traditional games for the first 4 teams:
- 1st place - team 1 with 792 points.
- 2nd place - team 4 with 740 points.
- 3rd place - team 3 with 604 points.
- 4th place - team 2 with 519 points.
The Faculty of Health Sciences would like to extend its gratitude to the Valletta Local Council for allowing the use of St Elmo Granaries. A shout-out also goes to CET Leisure Company for the professional organisation of the Treasure Hunt and Games. Thank you, Costantino and all the team.
