A laughter workshop is all about having fun and laughing together. However, since laughter is exhausting and tiring, it is not just about laughing together. It is also about physical movement, breathing, spontaneity, flexibility and creativity. Thus, the workshop is composed of a varied mix of simple, playful and creative exercises.

There should be at least 6 participants to create a certain group dynamic. There is no maximum number of participants in this sense. The content of the workshop is individually tailored to the size of the group.

In principle, the duration of the workshop can be adapted to the conditions of the event. From a minimum of 1 hour to a full day, depending on how much time you want to devote to the topic of laughter & humor and what the goal of the workshop is.

The topic of laughter & humor can basically be integrated in a very versatile way. A laughter workshop is an ideal activity that can enrich a particular event or complement it in combination with a specific theme. Here some examples:

1. Teambuilding: With the aim of strengthening the team spirit, improving communication and promoting relationships between team members.

2. Personal development: With the aim of strengthening self-awareness, improving self-confidence, gaining new perspectives and promoting emotional intelligence.

3. Stress management: With the aim of reducing stress in the short term, increasing resistance to stress in the long term and generally brightening the mood.

4. Health and well-being: With the am of improving physical and mental health, promoting inner balance, increasing resilience and enhancing overall well-being.

5. Creativity and innovation: With the aim of promoting creativity, stimulating the imagination and improving the ability to develop new ideas.

6. Courage: With the aim of consciously leaving and expanding your comfort zone to gain new skills and experiences for your personal growth.

The price of a workshop depends on the duration and the number of participants. I am happy to provide an indicative price for a specific occasion upon request.

No, a laughter workshop does not require any special infrastructure. Ideally, the workshop should take place in a closed room so that no one outside the workshop is disturbed and the participants do not feel distracted or observed. There should also be seating for all participants. Beamer, flipchart or whiteboard and music system are optimal but not mandatory. Of course, it is also possible to conduct the workshop in nature, if desired.

A laughter workshop can be an ideal teambuilding activity if the goal is to have fun together, strengthen relationships between team members, improve communication, and build group spirit. A laughter workshop can be an ideal addition to a corporate event or team event, as an introduction, conclusion or in between, to create a positive atmosphere and lighten the mood.

I attach great importance to designing the workshop in such a way that it feels appropriate for as many participants as possible. However, the laughter workshop requires participants to engage in an interactive and entertaining activity. If the company culture does not allow for this, or some team members are unable or unwilling to laugh for various reasons, a laughter workshop may not be ideal.

Humor and resilience are more closely linked than you might think at first glance. Humor is a source of joy and a powerful tool for dealing with difficult situations more calmly. When we laugh, we reduce stress, create a positive distance to problems and promote our mental flexibility – all key components of resilience. A humorous attitude also strengthens our self-efficacy because we learn to look at challenges with a lighter eye and feel more capable of taking action. Humor creates connection and strengthens social relationships, which are a valuable resource in times of crisis. Especially in a team, laughing together promotes cohesion and trust, which not only increases the resilience of the individual but also of the collective.

Consciously integrating humor into our everyday lives can help us to find creative solutions and strengthen our mental and physical health. Those who can laugh, remain stable and calm even in turbulent times. Humor is therefore a tool to promote inner stability and resilience in the long term.

Resilience training is worthwhile for companies for several reasons:
In an increasingly fast-paced working world, stress and pressure are omnipresent. Targeted resilience training gives employees the ability to deal with these pressures in a healthier way, which leads to less absenteeism and increased well-being. Through targeted exercises, participants learn to increase their resistance to stress and remain capable of acting even in difficult situations. The training also promotes team dynamics and cohesion, as experiencing joy together creates trust and security. Employees who are more resilient are more flexible and solution-oriented, which increases their productivity and satisfaction. Resilience training is therefore not only an investment in the health of employees, but also in the long-term success of the company. Resilience training should therefore be an integral part of company health management – preferably with pleasure!
