Group Working Skills

Half Day

This half day workshop will provide opportunities for participants to explore how they feel about working in a group, and what they can contribute that will make the experience more effective for them and the group itself.  Individuals will be asked to draw on their own experience of working in groups or teams and will be encouraged to share this with the rest of the group.  Using a light theoretical framework, participants will gain an awareness of how groups work, and what can help/hinder their process.  We will:

• become more aware of how and why we behave as we do in a group
• develop strategies which encourage us to make future group working situations more effective
• experience the challenge of giving and receiving feedback
• develop our understanding of the subjectivity of perception

This workshop may be the ideal start to any group working activity.
