Training in Action Dunedin Programme 2008
Leadership and Facilitation Training
(08LFT): Training in Fundamentals of Group Work and Leadership
Many of us spend a considerable amount of our working life in groups and meetings. Some groups function well, while in others poor communication, anxiety and ambivalence create obstacles to the group working productively. In fact, all groups develop in ways that are recognisable and predictable. We can learn to make sense of what is happening and to make interventions that will minimise problematic functioning.
Group Work Training is designed for those who are leading groups or intending to do so. It serves as both an introduction to group work and as a refresher for those who already have experience. Participants are involved in reflecting on and using their own experience as a basis for learning. The principles taught can be applied to any kind of group, and will include:
-
Planning, preparing for and beginning a group
-
Facilitating interaction and responding to group process
-
Closing a group
Through teaching and supervised practice there will be a focus on group work theory, role theory, sociometry and leadership styles. Participants will complete both written and practical assignments.

Psychodrama Training
(08PDT): Experiential training in the psychodrama method
This programme is aimed at developing excellence in the theory and practice of the psychodrama method. This method assists people to work with groups and individuals in therapeutic, educational, creative and organisational settings. The training is also of value to those in positions where providing leadership is central to their role.
Training in this method is achieved through integration of theory and practice by a process of supervised experiential learning. The curriculum is based on the material set out in the ANZPA Training Manual and includes teaching, practice, coaching and supervision.
Peer Groups
Organised peer groups are part
of the training process assisting trainees
to practice and integrate their learning.
The peer groups meet fortnightly throughout
the year and are available to all trainees
enrolled for the year.
It is expected that trainees already possess an established professional identity or are in the process of working towards their primary qualification.
