KS-Group Dynamics 2300-MS1-KS-DPG
Knowledge about the evolution of group processes allows conducting more effective training and workshops. The aim of the course is therefore to make students aware of the role of dynamics and the group transformations.
During the course the student will learn the answers to some fundamental (for the trainer) questions:
- how to support the group process?
- How professionally interfere (if necessary) in the group process?
Main topics:
1. Theoretical background: group, team, group structure, etc.
2. Phases of group development.
3. Crises in the group - natural forms of group development.
4. Group communication.
