While most people get entry-level positions based on their hard skills, like coding, a mastery of soft skills leads to greater career longevity. We accomplish the most work when we relate to each other in the workplace, lead groups, and form bonds. There are many team-building activities for work environments that encourage that kind of space. Read on and implement some of these where you work.
Who Benefits?
All kinds of offices and workplaces benefit from team-building activities. Wildland firefighters, for instance, are organized into different, specific roles. Team-building activities help them perfect methods of communication, making them more effective when fighting fires.
Blind Drawing
Blind drawing is a team-building activity in which two players sit back-to-back. One player has a piece of paper with a simple image on it. They must explain to the other player how to draw that image without saying what the picture is. Based on the effectiveness of the communication received, the drawer must recreate whatever the other player describes.
Scavenger Hunt
This team-building activity for work environments involves the whole office. An effective scavenger hunt needs an interesting location and some landmarks. Workplace leaders can take their coworkers to parks, zoos, museums, or wherever they think is appropriate. Split the group into teams and tell them to find as many landmarks as possible. This builds togetherness and teamwork.
What’s My Name?
For this team-building activity, bring everyone into a conference room and put a nametag on their backs. These nametags could be professions, or celebrities, or vegetables. So long as you choose things in the same category, they can be anything. The important thing is that the person who wears the nametag cannot see it. Then, everyone must go around the room asking each other yes or no questions about their nametags until they deduce who or what they are. This game builds upon employees’ ability to answer and ask questions.

About COP28:
COP 28 refers to the United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 30 November until 12 December 2023.
UN Climate Change conferences (or COPs) take place every year, and are the world’s only multilateral decision-making forum on climate change with almost complete membership of every country in the world.
To put it simply, the COP is where the world comes together to agree on ways to address the climate crisis, such as limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, helping vulnerable communities adapt to the effects of climate change, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
More than 70,000 delegates are expected to attend COP28, including the member states (or Parties) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Business leaders, young people, climate scientists, Indigenous Peoples, journalists, and various other experts and stakeholders are also among the participants.
Officially, COP 28 stands for the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC.

GAZA
In a tweet issued this morning, the Secretary-General said he regretted the resumption of hostilities in Gaza and Israel. He urges all concerned parties to swiftly find a way to resume the pause in the fighting and facilitate the release of more hostages.
We appeal to the parties not to resort to further military action that can only make the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza worse and to spare civilians from more suffering.
The Secretary-General reaffirms his call for a true humanitarian ceasefire.
Just wanted to give you a bit more granularity on what we have been able to achieve and what our colleagues on the ground have been able to achieve since the the start of the pause.
The humanitarian pause, which lasted for seven days, had allowed us a major increase in the delivery of basic supplies into and across Gaza, primarily through the Egyptian and Palestinian Red Crescent Societies and, of course, with the support of UN agencies. However, as the Secretary-General told Security Council members this week, the level of aid remained completely inadequate to meet the growing needs.
Between 24 and 29 November, 630 metric tonnes of flour were distributed to about 224,000 people in the south. We also distributed 63,000 blankets and mattresses.
Cooking gas had been entering daily from Egypt during this period and has been available, or at least had been available, at one distribution centre in the south, in not enough quantities unfortunately to meet the demand.
Since the start of the pause until the 29th [November], approximately 4,850 metric tonnes of food, primarily rice, flour, and canned food; 1,700 metric tonnes of other supplies; as well as 1,110 metric tonnes of bottled water; also 148 metric tonnes of medical supplies and 29,500 litres of fuel were delivered to UNRWA shelters, hospitals and warehouses in northern Gaza.
Any continuation in the uptick the delivery of basic supplies into and across Gaza is now, of course, uncertain because of the resumed hostilities, which obviously makes the distribution of humanitarian goods that much more difficult, not only for the humanitarian workers but also for those for whom the aid is intended.
COP28
This morning in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, the Secretary-General spoke at the opening ceremony of the World Climate Action Summit at COP28.
He told the gathered world leaders they can still prevent a planetary crash and burn, but that they will need cooperation and political will.
The Secretary-General said the success of COP28 depends on three areas: drastically cutting emissions, accelerating a just and equitable transition to renewables and delivering climate justice for developing countries.
The Secretary-General underscored that we must listen to the science, which says that the 1.5-degree limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels. Not reduce, not abate, but phase out all fossil fuels with a clear timeframe aligned with 1.5 degrees celsius.
Mr. Guterres also had a message for fossil fuel company leaders: Do not double down on an obsolete business model. Lead the transition to renewables.
And he urged governments to help the fossil fuel industry make the right choices – by regulating, by legislating, by putting a fair price on carbon, by ending fossil fuel subsidies, and by adopting a windfall tax on profits of these companies.
The Secretary-General also spoke at the Local Climate Action Summit, where he urged local leaders to develop plans for a net-zero future, demand a seat at the table to draft climate national policies and to invest in renewables.
SOMALIA
In Somalia, the Humanitarian Coordinator there, George Conway - together with the Government and the Somali NGO consortium - have jointly warned that the country is in the midst of a disaster as devastating rains and floods continue to spread.
Since October, and we have been reporting this to you, some 2 million people have been impacted by torrential rains, flash floods and riverine floods. More than 750,000 people are displaced from their homes and nearly 100 people have been killed, throughout different parts of the country.
The continuing heavy rains and floods are expected to swamp at least 1.5 million hectares of farmland through December.
With one month to go until the end of the year and despite massive needs, the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan for Somalia– which seeks more than $2.6 billion to meet the needs of 7.6 million people – is only 42 per cent funded at $1 billion. Aid organizations cannot meet current and new needs without additional resources.

ODN Video: Dog Meat Farmers Protest Against Ban in South Korea
These South Korean dog meat farmers are protesting against recent government moves to ban rearing dogs for meat.
The Korean Dog Meat Association says it wants dog meat farming to be treated like any other livestock farming and that a ban would infringe on the rights of farmers and consumers.
There is a long history of eating dog meat in Korea, but recent surveys show that the majority of South Koreans are against the practice.
South Korea’s sizeable Buddhist population also largely opposes all forms of meat farming, which includes dog meat farming. Animal rights charity director Borami Seo believes South Koreans are becoming increasingly conscious of animal welfare.
Farming dogs for meat is already heavily restricted in South Korea.
Although not explicitly banned, dogs are not specified as livestock in Korean law, unlike most other animals reared for meat. In recent years several local governments have further restricted the practice, and have shut down dog slaughterhouses. But, with impassioned supporters on both sides, it's not yet clear if the government’s attempt to ban the practice will succeed.

ODN Video: Gaza Bombing Begins Again as Ceasefire Ends
After seven days of ceasefire, the war in Gaza started again this morning.
Just 30 minutes after the ceasefire ended Israel announced it had hit Hamas targets with airstrikes. Israel also accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire by firing rockets into its territory.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says 32 were killed in the first three hours after the end of the ceasefire.
The renewed violence marks the end of a seven-day ceasefire that saw Israel and Hamas exchange hostages and prisoners. A four-day ceasefire began on 24 November but was extended to seven days, with help from Egypt and Qatar acting as mediators. More than 100 hostages were returned by Hamas in exchange for Israel releasing 240 prisoners.
Many had hoped the ceasefire might be extended indefinitely, but Israel has reiterated it will not stop the war until all the hostages are returned, and Hamas is destroyed.

ODN Video: Cold War Diplomat Henry Kissinger Dies at 100
The last surviving member of President Richard Nixon’s cabinet, Henry Kissinger shaped US foreign policy under the presidencies of both Nixon and Gerald Ford in the 1970s.
Born Heinz Alfred Kissinger in Bavaria in 1923, Henry, as we would come to be known, was a Jewish refugee who fled Nazi Germany in 1938.
Aged 20, he became a naturalised US citizen and fought for his adopted country during the Second World War.
After receiving his political science PhD from Harvard in 1957, Dr Kissinger worked as a consultant to government agencies and think tanks.
He then became foreign policy advisor to the presidential campaigns of Nelson Rockefeller, supporting his bids to the Republican nomination throughout the 1960s.
Although initially not a fan of Richard Nixon, Kissinger changed his mind when Nixon won the Republican nomination in 1968, and he developed a close relationship with the new president as his National Security Advisor and Secretary of State.
There was an air of secrecy to the way they conducted business.
In 1969, Kissinger hid from Congress the bombings of Cambodia and Laos which escalated the Vietnam War.
However, it was secret meetings with North Vietnam’s Le Duc Tho (Lay Dook To’) which led to the Paris Peace Accords, and saw US forces withdraw from Vietnam. Both men were subsequently awarded the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize.
A proponent of Realpolitik, Kissinger’s major diplomatic achievements included soothing tensions with the Soviet Union through the policy of detente, opening up relations between US and China for first time in 23 years, and acting as intermediary to end the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East.
More controversially, the US helped General Pinochet overthrow the democratically elected Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973, yet backed the takeover of neighbouring Argentina by a military junta three years later.
Kissinger continued to work with presidents after his time in the White House - Ronald Reagan appointed him to head a commission on Central America in 1983 as civil wars and revolutions engulfed the region.
Kissinger kept active into the 21st century and beyond his 100th birthday.
He campaigned with fellow politicians William Perry, Sam Nunn and George Shultz for a world without nuclear weapons.
At the start of the 2020s he wrote books on the rise of AI and political leadership.
One of the most divisive politicians of the post-war era, Dr Henry Kissinger was a man many believe should have been held to account for war crimes. Others regard him as one of the most effective Secretaries of State in US history.

Global Video: Future of wildfires: What will happen to Canada's scorched forests as fires worsen?
After a record-breaking wildfire season in 2023, land double the size of Portugal has been burnt in Canada throughout the year, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC). At 18.5 million hectares (46 million acres), that’s about five per cent of the country’s entire forests.
As the wildfire season slowly winds down with cooling temperatures, what happens to all the land and forests after the fires have been extinguished and nearby evacuated communities returned, especially with such a large swath of area affected?
In the past, fires didn’t come around an area more often than every 30 years, with the lack of trees from recent burns helping regulate the frequency of the fires and resetting the local ecosystem. But now, experts warn that climate change may be breaking that natural cycle.
“Unfortunately, what we're seeing now when we have these extremely intense fires is that, in some places, things burn so hot that they actually incinerate the seeds that are released,” warns ‘Dark Days at Noon: The Future of Fire’ author Edward Struzik. “The southern end of our boreal forest is going to disappear.”

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet
On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be.
The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history.
Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires
Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say.
The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii.
Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.
Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

Global Video: CO2: How an essential greenhouse gas is heating up the planet
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas and is essential for life on Earth to function normally. However, humans are emitting it on an industrial scale, like through the burning of fossil fuels, which is contributing to global warming.
Kamyar Razavi explains how the exponential increase of CO2 release is causing the planet to heat up.

Global Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means
The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance.
During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history.
While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne?
Global News explains.
