Empowering people and harnessing the potential of groups
We've all been there: the meetings and workshops where the same people always have their say, and the sessions where there's a certain tension in the air that everyone is trying hard to ignore. So how can we create more participation and more collaboration? And how do we deal with tensions or even conflicts?
In this advanced module on the topic of people, we focus on how to consciously involve all participants in a session or workshop so that everyone is actively involved. You will learn how to manage group dynamics, support development within the group and promote effective collaboration and dialog.
We will delve into topics such as conflict resolution and power relations and explore different aspects of learning types and FIRO theory - all with a focus on the people we work with.
Course content:
Participation: How can I create an atmosphere where different personality types can contribute equally?
Group dynamics: How can I help the group work and communicate together?
Conflicts, rank and power: As a facilitator, how can I support the group in resolving a conflict or tension? What invisible processes are taking place?
Course objectives:
You will get to know the FIRO model and the rank and power approach.
You will experience and reflect on a selection of methods that strengthen group dynamics, cooperation and communication.
You will find out what tensions and their resolution feel like in a group and develop strategies to support this process.
