What is the Broken Bear?

This is an innovative program where people customize stuffed animals, which are then presented to a children’s charitable organization. As many children’s charities deal with kids who have some kind of malady or are differently-abled, the stuffed animals will also have a challenging feature or issue.

What is Kintsugi?  The Japanese art of repairing broken things by mending the areas of breakage with a lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object to be recognized and celebrated, rather than something to disguise or be ashamed of.

Key Aspects to Consider:

Indoor
This is NOT an off-the-shelf program
Training is highly customized to YOUR specific outcomes and organization
Timing - 2 - 4 hours (more time = more value)
Pairs VERY well with a team building activity, should you choose a FULL DAY
Concepts learned in training are applied and put into practice in the team building program

The Event Concept:

Each person will be given a series of supplies and a stuffed animal and general instructions with the goal of creating a meaningful and unique gift for a child in need.
For example: A group might remove a limb from their bear and sew the “wound” backup with “gold” or “silver” string. The gold and silver is a part of the bear and viewed in a positive light. A way to show kids or whoever to embrace their flaws and imperfections.

    I am so happy that we worked with you for Capco’s event in Puerto Rico. I really can’t say enough good things about Kerry and his team. They were all incredibly helpful, fun, professional, and just plain great at their jobs. Such amazing attitudes, professionalism, and willingness to adapt. The feedback from participants has been overwhelming, everyone had such a great time.

    On behalf of the Management team, I would like to officially Thank You for leading our teams today through “End Hunger Games”! The feedback from our community was overwhelmingly positive and a great way to end our day. The donation to the Food Bank resonated with us all and was the best part of the exercise.

    I liked that different people can come together quickly when genuine effort is applied. We learned how to work together effectively. Teams can work well together when everyone is given space and opportunity to do what they do best. Teamwork can be achieved in a hectic setting.

    I think interactive experimental learning is a key way of learning. It is fun, gets the mind and body involved in the principles being taught, and creates a team environment that overcomes typical barriers like restlessness, titles, etc.

    We learned that communication is key throughout the project to ensure everyone continues to work towards a common goal and stay on track. It was fun! I loved the collaboration – working together to get the job done in a fun way. Everyone plays an important role. Trust the team. Good balance of fun, competition and learning.
