A team building rally in Le Mans for J Pal Europe with Citeamup

On September 17th, the teams at J Pal Europe experienced a memorable afternoon in Le Mans, thanks to an urban rally organized by Citeamup. This team building, both entertaining and strategic, allowed the employees to strengthen their bonds while discovering the city in a playful way. Let’s take a look back at a day filled with teamwork, challenge, and discovery.

A turnkey activity for J Pal Europe

J Pal Europe, an international organization specializing in public policy analysis, chose Citeamup to organize its team building in Le Mans. With about thirty employees, the goal was to offer an activity that would encourage interaction, collaboration, and take the participants out of the traditional corporate seminar framework.

The choice quickly fell on one of Citeamup’s flagship activities: an urban rally. This event combines physical and strategic activity, challenging tasks, and moments of relaxation. It was essential for J Pal Europe to allow its teams to interact informally while stimulating their creativity and team spirit.

Why choose an urban rally for a team building?

The urban rally, a specialty of Citeamup, is the perfect activity to strengthen team cohesion. This format allows participants to:

• Discover the city in a new way: Through unique routes and puzzles to solve, participants rediscover the local heritage.
• Strengthen teamwork: Success in the rally depends on the teams' ability to communicate and complement each other.
• Develop collective strategy: Each team must manage its time, make strategic choices, and collaborate effectively to solve the proposed challenges.

It was in this context that the team of J Pal Europe took part in a personalized activity around the city of Le Mans.

A unique course in the heart of Le Mans

Le Mans is much more than just a city known for motorsports; its historic center is rich in architectural and cultural treasures. Citeamup leveraged this heritage to create a captivating course. Saint-Julien Cathedral, the medieval Plantagenet City, and the famous third-century Gallo-Roman walls were key stops in the rally.

The teams from J Pal Europe, divided into six groups, had to find and photograph as many markers as possible while completing different challenges. With a mix of puzzles and orientation games, the rally stimulated their competitive spirit while reinforcing their cohesion. At each stage, employees had to rely on their skills: observation, deduction, and leadership were crucial assets for victory.

Fun and cultural challenges

To make the experience even more engaging, each stage featured varied tasks:

• An initial challenge, with the correct answer allowing teams to start the rally.
• Selfie photo challenges, where teams had to find different objects and take group selfies in front of them.
• Puzzles to solve, to take the right picture in the right location.
• A symbol challenge, prompting teams to meet each other during the rally.

This variety of tasks encouraged participants to use their diverse skills and step out of their comfort zones, creating a rewarding team dynamic.

A strategic and friendly activity

One of J Pal Europe's main objectives for this team building was to stimulate collaboration while creating bonds between teams. Thanks to Citeamup's expertise, the activity perfectly met these expectations. The urban rally format, in addition to being dynamic, helps develop essential skills for corporate life:

• Mutual support: Each stage can only be completed with good communication and sharing of responsibilities.
• Time management: In a rally, time is limited, and teams must organize their movements and thinking efficiently.
• Group decision-making: Each challenge requires decisions that must be discussed and agreed upon collectively.

At the end of the event, a prize ceremony was held to reward the fastest and most strategic team. The smiles and laughter during this ceremony demonstrated how much this event boosted morale and team spirit within J Pal Europe.

A historical and friendly setting in Le Mans

Organizing a team building in a historic city like Le Mans combines relaxation, culture, and challenges. The charm of the old city, with its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and bustling squares, provided an idyllic setting for this activity.

For the employees of J Pal Europe, it was also an opportunity to discover or rediscover the city from a different perspective. Every corner of the street brought a new surprise, and the challenges, perfectly integrated into the landscape, enhanced the immersion in the history and culture of Le Mans.
