Why a separate team event during COP31?
At a two-week summit, a delegation's days fill up with sessions, bilateral meetings and receptions; even colleagues from the same company often only meet over coffee. A half-day team event puts your delegation and local team on one shared task away from the conference table: finding the route together, scoring points together and reviewing it over dinner. For format details, see our orienteering and corporate team building activities pages.
Because the summit is about climate, we choose formats to match: most activities run on foot, by wind or by paddle, outdoors and with short transfers, with water refill stations and local catering instead of single-use plastic. If you need your event's carbon footprint measured or reported, we discuss that separately at the quote stage.
Antalya in November: what to plan for
- Weather: daytime temperatures are usually 18–22 °C, good for outdoor activities. November is one of Antalya's wetter months, so every programme has an indoor alternative.
- Daylight: the sun sets around 17:00. Outdoor activities finish in the morning or early afternoon; evening formats run at the hotel or indoors.
- Hotels and transport: demand for hotels, vehicles and venues will be very high during the summit. We secure transfer and venue options as early as possible.
- Summit schedule: the event is placed in a half day, a late afternoon, or a day before or after the summit, depending on your delegation's sessions.
Which format suits which delegation?
During the summit, time is the scarcest resource. Choose a format by your delegation's free time slot first, then by group size.
| Format | Duration | Group | Fit with the summit schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team-building games | 2–3 hours | Any size | Late afternoon or half day; can run at the hotel |
| Orienteering | 2–3 hours | Small and medium groups | Half day, in daylight |
| Kaleiçi treasure hunt | 2–4 hours | 10–300 people | Half day; city centre |
| Beach olympics | Half day | Large groups | Weather dependent; with an indoor backup |
| Executive yoga | 60–90 minutes | 5–25 people | Morning or after sessions |
| Nature walk | 2–4 hours | Any size | Half day |
| Sailing experience | Half or full day | 4–150 people | Half day possible; subject to wind and weather |
| Köprülü Canyon | Full day | 6–60 people | A day before or after the summit |
| Tandem paragliding | Half day (20–40 min flight) | 6–60 people | Wind dependent; needs a backup day |
| Fishing by boat | 4–6 hours | 4–30 people | A day before or after the summit |
Durations cover the activity itself; transfer time between the hotel and the activity site is planned separately.
Corporate formats for COP31 week
Team-building games
Station-based challenges in mixed teams: communication, division of tasks and a shared goal against the clock. Set up in a hotel garden, on the beach or indoors; scales from a small delegation to 300+ people.
Orienteering
Teams find control points with a map and compass: strategy, task sharing and decision-making. Run on Konyaaltı beach, in city parks or on Taurus foothill trails, with difficulty matched to the group.
Kaleiçi and Konyaaltı treasure hunt
A 2–4 hour team game in which teams solve challenges along the old town's streets and the seafront to score points. Ideal for international delegations who want to see the city; 10–300 people.
Beach olympics
A scored half day of beach volleyball, tug of war, relays and team stations, played in department or country teams. Suited to large groups.
Executive yoga and breathwork
Morning or late-afternoon yoga, breathwork and stretching on the beach or at the hotel after long session days; for executives and small delegations (5–25 people).
Guided nature walk
A 2–4 hour guided walk on trails around Antalya (for example the sections of the Lycian Way closest to the city); the most inclusive format for groups with mixed fitness levels.
Sailing experience
A sailing day with a bay stop from Antalya or Kemer; every yacht has an instructor on board, so no sailing experience is needed. Teams that want it can add an instructor-led mini sailing skills race (not an official regatta). 4–150 people; 6–8 per boat.
Canyon experience: Köprülü Canyon
Guided rafting and a canyon walk, with a shared rhythm and trust in the same boat. A full-day programme, scheduled before or after the summit; confirmed for November against water level and weather.
Tandem paragliding
Tandem flights with a certified pilot from take-off sites in the Antalya region (for example Mount Tahtalı near Kemer, or Alanya); no technical skill is needed and flights last 20–40 minutes. Entirely wind dependent, so a backup day is planned. Those who do not fly join the welcome team at the landing site.
Fishing by boat
A guided 4–6 hour line-fishing trip: equipment intro, knots and bait, casting and waiting. A calm, non-competitive get-together after intense summit days; catch-and-release on request. 4–30 people.
Delegation logistics
Transfers between hotels and the activity site, event management in English and Turkish, an indoor backup and invoicing in USD, EUR or GBP.
