Our large-scale learning carnival format has doubled its capacity to train up to 600 learners. See how it turned out at One Team @ SUSS, our largest learning carnival todate.
The Learning Carnival, a high-energy experiential training format pioneered by ROHEI, is designed to engage a large group of learners at a single event. Originally catering to a maximum of 300 learners at a time, the Learning Carnival is now 2x its previous capacity, training up to 600 learners in one training package.
The recent One Team @ SUSS Learning Carnival is the largest learning carnival conducted by ROHEI to date. Co-created with the Singapore University of Social Sciences, the organisation-wide training was designed to strengthen the SUSS team’s culture in light of rapid expansion and organisational changes.
The programme unified the entire SUSS team in fostering an ownership of culture building and collaborating for innovation. A highlight of their annual team-building, the Learning Carnival was attended by 574 participants at the Marina Bay Sands last 26 July 2019.

The Learning Carnival: high capacity, high energy, high engagement
Learning Carnivals are a highly engaging affair, infusing the spirit of play into learning through games and competitive activities. A mix of mass learning sessions and smaller group interactions create the optimum rhythm for engagement.
With experiential learning formats both big and small, learning is caught more than taught. Activities are designed to engage both mind and heart and encourage reflection while facilitating strong retention of key principles.
Behind the Learning Carnival: co-creation

Learning Carnivals are designed through a process of co-creation, beginning with deep dialogue with clients. We gain insight into the client’s needs as well as relational dynamics within the organisation.
By co-creating with clients, we are able to establish parallels to workplace scenarios, with relevant content, language, and examples. The result is application back at the workplace for higher engagement and performance.
SUSS: Uniting hundreds of staff towards a single goal
Because of its capacity to engage an entire organisation under one roof, the culture-building and team-building impact of a learning carnival is especially unique, unforgettable, and meaningful for participants.
At SUSS, the learning carnival brought together the academic and non-academic staff of SUSS, allowing them to build new bonds and strengthen relationships while moving forward together in unity.
At the programme’s closing, Prof Cheong Hee Kiat, President of SUSS, shared, “Today you saw the willingness to come together even sometimes among strangers to work together for a common purpose and that is a good thing. I hope that as we go back, that spirit, that transformation that has taken place will be expressed. When we recall what had been done here back to what could be possible in real life, back in our work, we can focus on the goals together and be able to overcome any obstacle we are confronted with.”
