Sports activities offer a unique opportunity to come into contact with other people, to exchange ideas, to encounter one another on a “different level” and to “discover new sides” in oneself and in others.
The central facility for university sports and the Dahlem staff council want to enable the FU employees to use the positive effects of activity, movement and relaxation in order to improve the cohesion of the employees, to promote communication among each other, to have fun together and thus to motivate employees as well ultimately to strengthen the identification with the Free University of Berlin. The happily reintroduced company outing is ideal for this purpose (see FU circular V 10/2016 of November 7, 2016).
