In this session we will explore how students can cultivate a space in which they feel safe and empowered to take risks and make bold choices as they move forward in their growth as a cohort.

“Thought provoking and genuine. Didn’t give in to the temptation to tick boxes or be idealistic.”
Based on recent research on the group dynamics of performers, this training will give students space to explore the question: ‘what is my role in the co-creation of a collaborative, creative, dynamic working environment’? Participants will have the chance to discuss their personal and shared responsibility in creating a ‘bold space’ – one in which people feel safe and empowered to take risks and make bold choices. Participants will develop a shared language and collective understanding of how they want to move forward in their growth as a cohort. This workshop also explores the impact of micro-aggressions, promoting awareness and accountability in a collaborative environment.
