Group 14 BUILT TO BELONG (Posted 15 May 2026 22:40) – MSA LIVE 26

Session 12: Coffee, Communication & a Change of Scene

Before our scheduled day of building the publication and preparing presentation work, this session took a slightly different direction. After raising some communication issues within the group with our tutors, we were encouraged to step back from the project for a moment and spend some time together outside of the usual studio environment. The suggestion of “go for a coffee” becoming official tutor-approved advice.

So, after revisiting the budget, we decided to take the group out for coffee as a small team bonding activity before starting the day’s work. Not everyone was able to make it, so there weren’t any dramatic overnight fixes to the communication issues, but it was still a genuinely enjoyable way to start the session.

It gave us a chance to talk more casually before jumping straight back into publication layouts, presentation edits, and the usual organised chaos of deadlines. More than anything, it helped break up the monotony of the scheduled studio days and set a more positive tone for the work ahead.

A small change to the routine, but a useful reminder that collaboration is sometimes helped most by simply taking a step back together first.
