Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with experience of being in the small group. In the beginning, students try what is it to be a member of the group, then will be focused on group processes and examine them from view "from outside". Students will be familiarized with the different approaches of work with a group and with different kinds of leadership too. Practical part will always be anchored in theoretical mycelium.
