“Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the croquet balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets were flamingos, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and stand on their hands and feet to make arches” (Carol, L. Alice in Wonderland, 1932). Group life too, can have an equal expression of newness, life, mystery and change.

Group dynamics and change - Campbell Town, Tasmania

Date: 01-Sep-2010

The Grange, Campbell Town, Tasmania - Wednesday 1st September 2010 from 9.30am to 4.30pm.  


This workshop draws on theory and skills that group leaders can use to deal with the undercurrents experienced in groups.  Dynamics are often a powerful force that either stops or supports the outcomes of a group being achieved.

These dynamics, forbidden agendas or invisible loyalties often prevent group members from behaving constructively. They are either formed throughout the life of the group, or emerge from issues in the past or arise outside the group.


Participants will:
* explore models for working with group dynamics
* identify ways that work teams or groups fail to warm up to achieving their purpose
* practice skills used to deal with issues in the here-and-now
* use of sociometry and social choices to understand group connections


When: Wednesday 1st September 2010 from 9.30am to 4.30pm

Where:
The Grange Meeting and Function Centre, 87 High St (Midlands Hwy) Campbell Town, Tasmania


Cost: $143.00 (GST included). Morning tea and lunch is provided.
