Where in the World is Your Spice?

Introduction

Icebreakers: What Are They and Why Do We Do Them?
In any social situation, people need to become familiar with each other in order to communicate, learn, and work together. This is also called building rapport. Successful interactions begin with a foundation of social presence, which is established by engaging students in icebreaker activities.

Often in professional situations, such as networking, it can be challenging to begin the rapport-building process. We wonder how to begin a conversation, what to ask about and how to make an appropriate connection before jumping into a business discussion. We have found in these interactions that it is useful to find a way to establish something in common, such as hobbies, interests, etc. To help you connect/build rapport with your new colleagues – we’ve designed the introduction conversations around spices.

Building Social Presence

This begins with students feeling comfortable sharing their own points of view as members of the online community, a phenomenon known as social presence Links to an external site..

A great way to establish social presence among strangers quickly is through icebreaker activities.
