Interview with a stranger

Our hectic business world has many left overscheduled, overworked, stressed, exhausted and burned out. We have become victims of our own lifestyle. We live in high-rise buildings yet don't know our neighbors. We commute to work in overcrowded sky trains and busy subways with thousands of other people yet never get to know any of them in person.

However, the Covid19 virus has put an end to his. As thousands flock to the Thai countryside or work from home, we suddenly realize we have time, more time than we are comfortable with, so we started to re-connect with old friends, who we have lost contact with for years.

An opportunity also to make new friends. Interview with a stranger is choosing a person that you know, lives nearby you or you meet him or her on your way to work, or in the neighborhood. It may be the person at the noodle soup stall struggling to survive in a post-Covid19-economic recession. The hairdresser who has lost her shop due to the curfew.

This virtual team building activity starts with a parcel arriving by post in your home-office, with the instructions of the activity and the task. The instruction manual includes tips and tricks of how to make stellar YouTube interview. The challenge is to interview a person you have met before, yet you have never spoken to, a person that sparks your interest, and make a 2-minute YouTube interview.

The video will be shared on Beunite virtual team building platform and accessible for all to see. This virtual team building event comes with a short debriefing, whereby all participants meet on conference call and after watching the videos, team members can ask questions and participants share special insights and methods of production.

Optional: Voting on Mentimeter to award a prize to the person with the best video.
