Working With Groups Introductory Course- 2024

This 6-block introductory course has been designed to meet South African realities, requirements, and resources. It is influenced by the models developed by the London-based Institute of Group Analysis and the Tavistock Clinic. Ububele has run the IntroductoryCourse to Working with Groups annually since 2004 and is offered in association with The Institute of GroupAnalysis, London.

The Introductory Course attempts to provide an experiential and reflective space to enrich human capacity in the field of group work, particularly developing the skills and knowledge of group facilitators and leaders, as well as trainers of group work. The experiential nature of the course aims to create an appreciation of an orientation to groups as central to understanding and working with interpersonal dynamics in different contexts.

This course is aimed at people from all walks of life working with, or wishing to work with groups. Participants have come from amongst others the medical and mental health sector, NGO’s involved in development work, the consulting, creative, engineering, sport, coaching and teaching industries. Corporate managers, leaders,and team members of all levels of seniority have benefited from the course.

No previous experience of group work is required.
