This year, we extended our traditional 2-day meteoblue day to a new 3-day format of "Creative Camp", where we combined retreat, nature, creativity, joint adventure and celebration. To foster collaboration with Windy, our new colleagues from Windy joined our event — thanks for travelling more than 10 hours and for joining us!
We spent three days in the Black Forest, starting with a hike to the destination in a small rural village with a beautiful view of the Black Forest, fields, wind turbines, Basel, and the Alpes.
- It was a challenge: Organizing several dozens of colleagues into travel groups, bedrooms, and working groups and developing a joint schedule was a great puzzle that required many adjustments and insights.
- It was a creative process: Limited internet access was the first challenge, which helped us focus on offline workshops, resulting in surprising and enlightening visions of further revolutionising our weather offers.
- It was close to nature: We found time to breathe the great forest air, go on inspirational hikes, jog, and find mushrooms.
- It was an adventure: The organizers juggling the puzzle, the hikers climbing the hills, the travellers sweating in the baking heat, the workshop participants "storming their brains", or the kitchen team catching up with the appetite.
In the end, flipcharts turned into gamepads, the musicians lit the night, and many ideas were generated.
After three intense days, we returned to our more city-centric lives in Basel and Prague with loads of inspiration, memories, fun, and new friends. We are very motivated to start working on our new ideas!
