[Cancelled] Workshop: Outside-in: play, think, try, experience, learn! (session 2)

-

In this workshop, you will learn to read in groups better by using activities to zoom in on certain aspects of learning and working in groups. These techniques allow us to have a closer look at group dynamics in a playful way. 

During two separate sessions, on 8 and 22 April 2025, we will use an experience-based learning approach to engage in group dynamic processes that are also common in the classroom during PBL sessions and other forms of learning in small groups. 

The first session on 8 April will take place outside, so make sure to wear clothes and shoes that go with the weather. 

During the second session on 22 April, we will play around with similar techniques in the classroom.

Cooperation, communication, annoyance, initiative, decision making, frustration, success and fun: you will experience it all yourself!

This activity may count towards your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if relevant to your situation.
