Course objectives (in Czech)
Special tasks deserve special forms of organization. In the case of high-performance (risk) undertakings in extreme outdoor sports, economy, humanitarian projects and so forth, it is common practice to reflect on team processes and structures. Soon in their education then students of PANE will take part in a fully-developed excavation project in the Near East. This course serves as an introduction to it (practical part).
Syllabus (in Czech)
  • During the course the students will get familiar with the general topic (developmental part). They will consult popular literature on team building and management. In discussions they will be encouraged to compare the models proposed in literature and will get acquainted with those elements which are applicable to modern archaeological projects with expedition character.
