✩ WHAT IS TEAM BUILDING DJEMBÉS ✩ SAMAJAM? ✩

The SAMAJAM Djembe Team Building activity is a 100% participatory, collective musical experience, supported by playing djembes. Each participant receives a djembe and contributes to a shared success.

Guided by professional artist-facilitators trained in the SAMAJAM method, including a master percussionist of African origin, the experience is designed to transform a group of individuals into a more united, more collaborative and more engaged team around the challenges of your organization.

No musical skills are required.

✩ AN APPROACH FORGED IN THE BUSINESS WORLD ✩

SAMAJAM draws on 25 years of experience, 6,000 productions completed in 10 countries, working with groups of highly diverse profiles and cultural backgrounds. This unique expertise allows us to quickly understand the context and the real challenges facing a group, right from the initial discussions.

The SAMAJAM Team Building method is built around 4 strategic pillars and 7 specific facilitation phases. It was designed by Louis Bellemare, founder of SAMAJAM, whose atypical career combines the world of business, investment and the management of organizations, notably at the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, the Society for Arts and Technology and in international event companies.

From this encounter between business expertise and collective percussion, the SAMAJAM method was born. That’s why we speak the language of leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs, and our team knows how to translate a leadership intention into a collective musical experience that unites, energizes, and mobilizes your group.

25 years ✩ 6,000 productions ✩ 10 countries

What distinguishes SAMAJAM, in Quebec as well as internationally, is a proprietary method proven over 25 years of experience and 6,000 productions in 10 countries.

It is built around 4 strategic pillars and 7 specific facilitation phases. It incorporates rigorous preparation beforehand, fully customized facilitation, and a lasting positive impact on your group.

✩ PREPARATION IN ADVANCE

Before each intervention, the SAMAJAM team analyzes your event in detail: main objective, overall strategic message, theme to anchor, profile and energy of the group, desired duration, precise positioning in your program.

Each experience is custom-tailored. This analysis is an integral part of the SAMAJAM method, and it is what distinguishes each of our interventions from a classic event animation.

✩ SAMAJAM PARTICIPATORY EVENT

Our artist-facilitators, rigorously trained in the SAMAJAM method, guide the progression of the experience with precision. They capture the group’s energy in real time, adjust their facilitation, structure rhythmic challenges in subgroups, and integrate your key message into the decisive moments of the musical sequence.

✩ THE POSITIVE IMPRINT

The intensity of the experience is tailored to the management team and the profile of your group. The result is visible, felt, and lasts long after the event: your group leaves more united, more engaged, and more committed to the challenges facing your organization.

A lasting trace, anchored in the collective memory of your team, which is recounted and relived long after the event.
