What is a Group Relation Conference

The Conference is a temporary organization with the aim of exploring and learning from experiencing conscious and unconscious processes as they manifest in the “here-and-now”, when authority, leadership and followership are exercised. The intention is to generate new thoughts and new learning and to review our knowledge and values; we have the opportunity to experience ourselves in multiple and different roles. Assistance is provided for an actual and sustainable change in interpreting the different roles in one’s organization and in life, particularly the roles that require an exercise of authority and leadership.

Primary task

Learning, from the experience of taking up roles in a temporary organisation, the conscious and unconscious dynamics of authority, leadership and followership when restarting from the vortices

For the fifth time the focus is the Mediterranean, as shared matrix of many countries and cultures, as a gathering place or container of many of the individual, group and societal dynamics that we can observe today in the life of organisations, businesses, cultures, in societies and in the relations among countries.

Methodology

The organization of the Conference and the activities proposed to participants generate an experiential learning. This means learning from its own live experience of group and organizational processes, which promotes self-reflective skills and encourages a spirit of inquiry. Participants, along with the staff, can critically examine different experiences, working behaviours and interpreting the roles of leaders or followers.

This type of training has no therapeutic intent and can sometimes be stressful. For this reason, it is recommended to people at a time of emotional stress or difficulty in their personal lives to postpone their participation to next edition.

Who may benefit and why

Taking part in a Group Relations Conference can be particularly useful for those who work in companies, SMEs, family business, civil sector services and not-for-profit, third and fourth sector organizations, for those who are interested in understanding and managing organizations and group dynamics within complex situations and want to enhance their competence and effectiveness in dealing with them.

All organizational processes include an emotional, irrational, and unconscious dimension. When this component is not recognized and managed, the system’s effectiveness and resilience decrease or comes to a halt, therefore implying both an emotional and financial cost for the organization itself.

Participation in the Conference allows you to observe, recognize and manage this dimension, essential for the functioning of each system and organization.

For this reason the Conference can be particularly effective when two or more members from the same organization register, especially in the case or prospect of prominent changes, crises, mergers, takes-overs, etc.

Therefore, if more people from the same organization participate, each will benefit from a discount.

Structure of the Group Relations Conference

A GROUP for those attending a Group Relations Conference for the first time

B GROUP for those who have attended at least one Group Relations Conference

TRAINING GROUP for those who have attended at least two Group Relations Conferences. 10 participants only

This edition includes up to a maximum of 10 places reserved for the Training Group (TG): a pathway that helps understanding the processes that develop in the GRC and to deepen one’s competence in knowing how to recognise and manage them.

The TG is aimed to who has already attended at the least two GRC and who is interested to further develop this type of learning and to then apply it in one’s professional life.

A specific programme for the TG is designed that combines the experience with space for reflecting on the experience.

Languages

The Conference is bilingual, Italian participants are required to have some knowledge of English; the translation of some parts of the Conference would be made available using the resources available in the system both among the staff and the participants in a spirit of collaboration, focus will be given to the learning of the language of the unconscious, of the emotions and of the non- verbal.

It will not be easy, however based on experience we can confirm that not always rationally understanding the literal translation has helped the experience learning in the Conference.
