Students’ Perception and Experiences of A Programme with Cultural and Adventure Initiatives Towards Group Cohesion

The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine the influence of selected cultural and adventure initiatives on the perception and experiences of group cohesion in a multicultural higher education institution. After a 3-day camp, rich qualitative data from students (n = 120) were gathered through focus group discussions and PowerPoint presentations. Using ATLAS.ti, four themes emerged: positive attitude and behaviour, maintaining group level, self-maintaining, and membership attraction and attachment. The findings revealed positive experiences among the participants. It is recommended that follow-up interventions should follow to ensure sustainability.
