This activity involves a simulated survival scenario following a maritime disaster. Participants, acting as survivors, must collaborate to prioritize resources and make critical decisions for their collective well-being. For instance, a team might need to rank items salvaged from the wreckage, such as a navigation tool, first-aid kit, or food rations, based on their perceived importance for survival and potential rescue.
The process cultivates vital interpersonal skills, including communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution. Working toward a common objective under simulated duress exposes individual strengths and weaknesses within a group dynamic. The simulation encourages strategic thinking, efficient resource management, and the development of leadership qualities among participants. Its roots can be traced back to leadership training exercises used in various organizational settings, evolving to incorporate more engaging and immersive elements.
