Back to overview

“Over the Bridge” is about us-them thinking within organizations. It is a team game that is ideal for a combination of collaboration, reflection, and fun: exactly what you need to make this theme tangible. It consists of collaboration and communication tasks where the team works towards a goal. From distance to connection, collaborating across differences.

Description

Over the Bridge is an accessible activity for both large and small groups. In a team context, “Over the Bridge” is a metaphor for connection:

  • Going over the bridge = taking the step towards the other.

  • Crossing the bridge = reducing the distance between “us” and “them.”

  • Building a bridge = establishing a relationship between different perspectives or groups.

The goal of this activity is to experience how us-them thinking arises in groups and the impact it has on collaboration and interpersonal relationships. By consciously reflecting on this, participants discover what it takes to ‘go over the bridge’ to others. At the same time, we practice combination thinking, where the power of ‘and-and’ is central instead of the polarizing ‘either-or.’ This way, we learn to see oppositions not as conflicts but as opportunities to connect perspectives. This process contributes to strengthening collaboration and building trust within the team.

Other

Possible substantive deepening in an additional offer with further concrete parallels with a work context:
- Understanding how us-them thinking works, what the mechanisms are (e.g., group instinct, inside/outside, identification).
- Insight into our innate pitfalls: how polarization arises, how simplification and division can prevail.
- Inspiration and concrete tools to think differently: beyond “us versus them,” to “us and them” or “us with them” with combinations and connections.
- An approach for how you can participate more constructively in public discussions, in the workplace, or in society as a whole: open, nuanced, alert to groups and boundaries, and aware of our innate pitfalls.
