There are people who like to work alone and see benefits in doing so. Others like to work in a team, however often we do not have a choice and teamwork is a basic requirement in the working place and it is a valuable skill in the personal tool-box. Working together might be complex but if we add a diverse working environment it is even more challenging as more communication skills, creativity and negotiating abilities are required.
Analysing group dynamics in general and in a diverse environment in particular, conflict management and decision making will be part of the topics in this course.
The students will be offered various scenarios where teamwork is needed. Furthermore, trainings will be carried out along the lessons so the students can implement the learnt theories.
