When people talk about team building in Tuscany, they often think of wine and food tastings and Vespa tours. All beautiful, of course. But what if you could combine experience, hands-on doing, creativity and the history of an area into one activity?
This is exactly what happens during an artisan leather workshop in the heart of Florence. A workshop that is not only creative, but also educational and engaging. Here the group is transformed into a team that works together to learn an ancient craft, made of precision, listening and patience. Each participant becomes an active part of the process: you cut, assemble, sew and carve. Mistakes are made, corrections are made, and improvements are made. And it is in this process that true team spirit is born.
Our experiential team building is much more than a recreational activity: it is an immersion in Tuscan savoir-faire, in an authentic context, where craftsmanship becomes a metaphor for collaboration, caring and the enhancement of individual skills.
Why choose team building in leather goods
Florentine leather goods are one of the excellences of Made in Italy. Getting their hands in the dough-or rather, in the leather-allows each participant to:
- Getting out of the comfort zone
- Developing attention to detail
- Stimulating creativity
- Collaborating in a new context
During our leather goods workshop, each participant makes a small handmade item to take home. Not just any gadget, but a handmade piece. With effort, commitment, mistakes and satisfaction. Exactly as it happens in a team.
What our experiential team building includes
The course can be customized according to the number of participants, time available and business objectives. But in general, the experience involves:
- Introduction to the world of Florentine handcrafted leather goods
- Brief overview of basic materials and techniques
- Guided making of an object (keychain, bracelet, mini wallet)
- Aperitif
Where does the activity take place?
In Florence, Piazza Santa Croce No. 8, in our artisan workshop. An authentic place, where handbags, wallets and bespoke leather goods take shape every day. It is not a set design: it is a real place, with real people. And that makes all the difference.
This team building activity is designed primarily for:
- Agencies that organize corporate events in Tuscany
- Corporate realities in search of authentic experiences
- Small businesses that want to strengthen team ties
- Professional firms, international groups, start-ups
A memory that remains
The experience ends with the delivery of the object made. A symbol of the time spent together, and a way to take home not just an object, but a concrete experience.
