*********************************************
GROUPWorks: Building Groups that Grow

Apply for new semester: February - May 2008
Deadline for application: January 26

**********************************************
The East Side Institute now offers a focused training program for people who
lead groups.

Whether in a classroom, boardroom or therapy room, one of the toughest
challenges we face as group leaders is organizing a roomful of individuals
into a powerful ensemble. In GroupWorks, we use social therapeutics, an
improvisational, philosophically informed, performance-based approach to help
professionals get better at leading and facilitating groups that are
developmental for everyone.

Over the last 30 years, the Institute has developed an approach to group
building that has helped counselors, educators, youth workers, organizational
development and human resource professionals, psychotherapists, social
workers, coaches, group facilitators, strategic planners, managers and board
directors-volunteer and professional, licensed and unlicensed-transform their
practices. The Institute and its GroupWorks faculty are internationally
recognized leaders in the postmodern, performance, and activity-theoretic
movements in psychology, education, and organizational development. We
specialize in creating learning environments that are cross-disciplinary,
dynamic and practical.

In GroupWorks you will learn:
 
*       How to use improvisation and performance as a
group-building/facilitation method. 
*       How to work with heterogeneous/diverse groups.
*       How to see and build with the diversity of seemingly homogeneous
groups.
*       How to build with conflict.
*       How to attract new members and sustain stable group membership.

GroupWorks is a four-month training program, with class and practicum sessions
scheduled on one evening each week. For information on faculty, curriculum and
