LOST IN TRANSLATION is a dynamic and engaging team-building exercise designed to highlight the importance of clear communication, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving.

Participants are divided into two categories: Specifiers and Artists. The Specifiers are responsible for transmitting information, while the Artists must reproduce a specific drawing based solely on the instructions provided by the Specifiers. This activity progresses through three distinct stages, each emphasizing different modes of communication.

The game involves steps such as:

Written Communication (No Feedback or Clarification)

Oral Communication (No Feedback or Questions Allowed)

Two-Way Communication (Feedback and Dialogue Permitted)

Each more engaging and insightful within the subtleties of communication.

The main objectives of the game are:

• The Impact of Communication Barriers
• Listening vs. Hearing
• The Value of Feedback
• Practical Applications in the Workplace
• The Role of Clarity and Precision
• Team Dynamics
