The goal of the Eagles Flight workshop is to learn about team building,planning and leadership skills as well as learning how to find the best approach to an issue.As part of the workshop,our classes were split into groups and were told to work together to do the best in a resource management board game called `The Dutchmans Gold’
This was a map with three different tracks leading to the mine.Each track had a different number of spaces and some had obstacles.In the game the goal was to reach the mine and acquire as much gold as possible in twenty days while keeping in mind the amount of fuel,supply and tent cards you received at the start
At the end of the game our group came joint second with seven pieces of gold mined
The highest our year got was nine pieces.After finishing the game,our speaker gave us questionnaires asking us what we could have done differently.
The application of `the Dutchman’s gold mine’ helped me learn how to fist plan a goal,something specific,attainable,measurable,communicated and agreed upon.This taught me how to create an action plan for a real life project to achieve maximum performance.I would recommend this workshop to others as I felt I learnt a lot from it as well as enjoying it a lot.
