Let’s talk about some pretty spectacular memories of our 1st Getting Together, which took place between the 3rd & 5th of December 2021 in beautiful João Pessoa. We were 22 enthusiastic Team Members and this surely was a special moment to meet new colleagues, revisit old ones, strengthen bonds, celebrate achievements, and create lasting memories.
Our first Getting Together was super fun! We kicked off our event with an icebreaker game and talked about Vigil’s inception and culture. Our trip was filled with adventures and discoveries. The team enjoyed a day of exciting buggy rides through the dunes of João Pessoa, exploring its natural beauty. What a unique experience, full of laughter and fun!
We tucked into the rich Northeastern Brazilian cuisine and dived into a sensory journey, allowing us to truly experience the local culture and surroundings.
We had the opportunity to relax on the blissful beaches of João Pessoa. The bright sun, clear blue waters, and white sands created an idyllic setting for unwinding. It was a fantastic getaway for everyone involved that provided an opportunity to get to know colleagues better beyond our standard daily remote interaction. We chilled together with live music and a magnificent sunset as a backdrop. The atmosphere was fantastic, and we shared the moment whilst acknowledging the importance of teamwork and friendship.
During the event, we launched what was to become a tradition - the Vigil Oscars ceremony. Three unique and fun awards were given to recognise a mix of Team Members’ individual traits. It was a moment full of laughter that will undoubtedly stay in our minds. We followed up the Oscars with the classic Secret Santa. After all, it was December time!
Vigil Getting Together events help strengthen work relationships and create memories that will stay in our minds.
Here’s to more adventures and continuing to build a united and committed team! Thank everyone for making this Getting-Together so special!
