This module runs throughout the academic year and aims to provide a reflective and creative group space that has no fixed agenda and is based on humanistic principles.
You will have the opportunity to increase your self-awareness and how you function in a group through the experiential group process.
A focus of the group process is to develop knowledge of who you are and how you relate to the group process in the here and now, interpreting the experience in your own way.
The facilitator will follow a humanistic approach and offer sensitive interjections when necessary, outlining ways to set and develop a safe group experience, while exploring differences within the group. This phenomenological approach to understanding difference and individual world views is a key concept throughout the module.
This module will also provide an opportunity to explore and evaluate the implications of OPT working, including an understanding of the disinhibition effect, raising awareness of your own digital competence, experiential learning about the differences between ITR and OPT, and issues around equality, diversity, and inclusion when working across different media.
