Luxury of freedom

21 training days - Week 2

The first week of the training is behind us and the family atmosphere in the team is getting stronger every day. After getting familiar with the brand and basics of the concept, second week was more practical and focused on “hands on“ work. Being occupied with both, theoretical and practical part, this week was full of challenges. Hosting the Art colony, organisation of the first BB Chef this season and creating content and preparing social media channels were a part of training the skills, as well as working on time management while trying to combine all the work and fun activities together. 

Art colony - touch of art 

For the past 9 days, BIG BERRY Kolpa River Resort has turned into a street art workshop, having 7 artists from Croatia, Slovenia and Spain drawing murals on the walls of BB Houses. It has been truly inspiring to feel the freedom and creativity of the artists while creating inspired by the “luxury of freedom“ feeling. BB Art colony project was a perfect introduction into Designer Year in BIG BERRY this season, where focus will be on creating art and designing new products inspired by the BB band. One big part of the training session was communication with the artists and conducting the interviews for the BB people, through which artists would be able to share their story behind about BB experience. At the end of the day, BIG BERRY is all about the good story behind everything that is happening.

BB Chef vol.2

It’s time for the delicious comeback! BB Chef project is kicking strong again. During this year, BIG BERRY will host 21 chefs that will come and cook specialties and make our senses and palates happy. On April 21st we had a chance to host our very first BB Chef in the season 2018, Doris Valković from Croatia, also known as Foodoris. It was a great opportunity for the new members of the team to experience the essence of this project. The healthy menu of the chef  blended perfectly with the local, homemade products of the local producers, including Kmetija Totter, Pavlovič and Kočevar, Oljarna Pečarič, Zlati Ghee, Domačija Kuzma, Berryshka, Duke Group and Status It was the real synergy of the partners right on the spot.

Team activities  

This season has started strong with activities! After the Olympic experience and event in Planica, our team has been hooked on sports. Morning runs, daily workouts on the open air, boxing classes with Gym Direct, cycling around the region, hikes in the nature, canoeing on Kolpa river and yoga sessions during sunsets over Bela krajina, have become a part of the everyday routine. Next to the daily sports activities and many active project planned for this season, it seems like the whole year will be in a sign of sports, and we couldn’t mind less.

Having a mixture of the international team coming from different countries all around the world and speaking more than 10 languages, we saw a perfect opportunity to squeeze some language lessons in our daily schedule. French classes from lovely Coraline and Spanish lessons of our berry Christina are hopefully going to make us true language experts by the end of the season.
