Green seminar: a winning strategy for an event where Nature brings people together

Green corporate seminars have become an essential trend! In recent years, this choice of event has gained in popularity for several reasons. On the one hand, they respond to a growing need to disconnect from the hyper-connectedness and stress associated with modern working life. On the other, they align with CSR values that advocate greater respect for the environment and a commitment to employee well-being. At Domaines & événementswe believe in the power of the outdoors to create exceptional experiences, thanks to our collection of venues near Paris and in Provence. Bringing your staff together in the heart of nature, far from the hustle and bustle of urban life, offers a multitude of benefits that go far beyond simple relaxation. It's an integrated strategy that promotes your teams' well-being and cohesion, and is part of an eco-responsible approach that enhances your company's brand image. Imagine the serenity of open spaces, the freshness of fresh air and the tranquility of a natural environment, all paving the way for productive and memorable corporate events. You'll allow your employees to recharge their batteries while taking part in professional or team-building activities.

Rely on nature and its benefits!

It's no secret that nature has a soothing and revitalizing effect on us! Organizing a seminar in the great outdoors allows your teams to recharge their batteries far from the pressures of everyday life. This change of scenery reduces stress, improves concentration and stimulates creativity. The simple act of spending time outdoors can have beneficial effects on mental health, reducing levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and increasing overall feelings of well-being. Studies show that contact with nature improves cognitive abilities and short-term memory, which can translate into greater productivity once back at work!

A seminar with a difference, a cohesive factor 

Green seminars are an ideal opportunity to strengthen team cohesion. At Domaines &événements, the range of possible team-building activities is vast! The various outdoor workshops offered by our service providers encourage collaboration and communication between your team members. And thanks to our experts' in-depth know-how, we can organize tailor-made seminars that perfectly meet your needs. Take a breath, we're organizing! The success of a green seminar is the strengthening of bonds, resulting in improved cooperation within your company. In a natural environment, hierarchical barriers tend to fall away, allowing more informal and authentic interactions between colleagues. An atmosphere conducive to the emergence of new ideas and collective problem-solving!

Objective nature = enhanced creativity and innovation potential 

Natural surroundings stimulate creativity. By moving away from conventional offices and meeting rooms, your teams are more inclined to think outside the box. Nature inspires innovative solutions to business challenges, because it encourages freer thinking that's less constrained by the usual pressures. Brainstorming outdoors can generate more original and daring ideas than traditional indoor sessions. And the absence of urban distractions enables your staff to concentrate fully on strategic discussions, leading to more thoughtful, better-informed decisions.

The major challenge of eco-responsibility, in everyday life...and for your company's brand image

To ensure that your seminar is as eco-friendly as possible, look beyond the natural environment and select event venues that promote responsible management of energy, water and waste. This is the case with our unique Domaines & événements venues, committed to an eco-responsible approach. Our estates also promote the use of local products and service providers.

A green seminar is also the ideal opportunity to raise your employees' awareness of environmental and social issues. This awareness helps reinforce their commitment to your company's CSR values. And it's another way of encouraging them to adopt more responsible behavior, not only during the seminar, but also in their daily lives. Another important aspect of organizing green seminars is reducing your carbon footprint. This can be achieved by opting for destinations close to Paris that minimize air travel.

Your responsible approach will help reinforce your company's image as a player who cares about its impact on the planet.
