Successful Working Together

Self-development opportunity

Would you like to know how you can get the best out of yourself and your team members, so that you can achieve the best possible results in group work?

Do you want to know how to communicate better in an environment where people from different cultures are present? Are you interested in how mindfulness and compassion can help you listen more effectively and judge (yourself and others) less?

We invite you to take part in these sessions, where you will learn that working in a group can be an opportunity for self-development (and not only a source of stress) by:

• Learning the basics of nonviolent communication;
• Practicing mindful communication and deep listening;
• Working in a group: acknowledging the differences, accepting yourself and others, finding the common ground;
• Group stress: sharing your difficulties, finding your strengths.

For whom is this training course?

BSc and MSc students at WUR that:

• have ever felt uncomfortable during group work;
• really enjoy group work, but find it hard to incorporate the contributions from all group members;
• want to learn how to contribute effectively in a group;
• want to know how to encourage all group members to share;
• would like to recognise individual differences, whilst developing a sense of common humanity.
