A team-building activity ensued, titled as a Garter Relay with a Twist. The student leaders were divided into four teams, with the first representative of each fitting a garter through their body reading a set prompt of actions to perform on stage, and the others imitating their actions based only on what they saw. As the teams saw little success, the Student Council Officers took this opportunity to teach about the importance of attentiveness and presence of mind when performing time-pressured tasks with a team.

“I really had to communicate with the other leaders and achieve this one goal together,” Seorin said about the activity which involved similarly-minded student leaders joined as one team.

Council awarded certificates participation and recognition to of all participants, and a photo opportunity sealed off the afternoon seminar.
