Team building Sydney at Prince Alfred Park with African Beat

We were excited when the Canva team got in touch about a team building in Sydney they wanted us to be part of. But this wasn’t your typical team building. It wasn’t to address conflict or encourage team cohesion like we are often tasked with. This was a party. A celebration of a job well done.

Team Building in Sydney with Canva

When Chris Low got in touch, he told us of the incredible milestones the innovative business had reached…

10 million international users
PLUS…
Over 100 languages (including Zulu)

Canva recognised that each of their staff got them to these milestones and wanted to show their appreciation. Interactive African Drumming fit the bill and we were so pleased to be part of their celebration.
