Experiential learning : - Action and observation - Analysis - Conceptualization

Based on an experiential approach, the course is grounded on a set of groupe activities (role play, organisational simulations, games, ...). The students share and analyze what happens in the group and therefore, they build links with their personal and professional experiences. Concepts and theories about group dynamics are proposed after the lab experience.
