A Group Relations Conference consists of a number of group sessions, some with pre-allocated membership, some with self-forming groups. Consultants work to support learning by highlighting whole group dynamics. This may include attention to \u201cbeneath the surface\u201d processes, blind spots, hidden meanings, and the emotional realities that lie behind our everyday talk.<\/p>\n<p>The first Group Relations Conference, the Leicester Conference, was held by The Tavistock Institute in 1957. Today, they are hosted worldwide, by a wide variety of organisations, committed to the simple vision of learning through the experience of being together.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stepping into the conference might initially feel like joining any other public meeting. There are many familiar features: a handbook sets out the programme, there are the usual formalities of registration, then an opening welcome event at which the staff are introduced, and the conference director makes some opening remarks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But then something unusual happens. A space opens up which is not filled by a sequence of pre-determined speeches. There may be silence, there may be reflection or suppressed tension, or someone finds the courage to speak. The essential framework is the space denoted by time and task. Within this there is the possibility of exploration.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>At its simplest level a group is a collection of people who\u2019ve come together to engage in some shared purpose or task together. This inevitably means that people find themselves taking up, or being pushed into roles. Some of these roles may be task-focussed: a group leader, a team player, a follower. Some of these may not apparently be so: a group saboteur, a group sceptic, the silent participant, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>There may be a feeling that we\u2019ve been here before. After all, by adulthood, all of us have been in many groups: family constellations, school situations, social groups, voluntary associations, work teams. What is the combination of personal history, of how we read what is happening, and of what is \u201cgiven\u201d to us by the group, that leads us to play the parts we play in these contexts?<\/p>\n<p>This is the invitation to learn that is present in a Group Relations Conference. There may be surprises ahead as we confront how we influence, or fail to influence others, and how we deal with what others tell us about ourselves. To the extent that the group situations seem \u201cfamiliar\u201d to us, there is the capacity to review group dynamics from other phases of life that we took as set in stone.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, then, a Group Relations Conference is designed to provide a setting for deep learning about self, about role, and about group in the context of organisation and society. This inevitability involves encounters with issues of authority, power, leadership, followership, and indeed the themes of this conference: transition, transformation, diversity, risk, and sustainability. No previous experience is required. Only curiosity and a desire to learn.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nTwo Pathways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The conference offers two opportunities, Pathway A and Pathway B (Training).<\/p>\n<p>Pathway A is open to everybody. You do not need to have any earlier experience of a group relations conference. This pathway includes membership of all conference events, including small study group, large study group, organisational events and review groups.<\/p>\n<p>Pathway B (Training) is open to those with two or more earlier experiences of participation in a group relations conference. In addition to membership of a range of conference events, this includes further specialist groups for developing consultancy approaches and opportunities to practice these approaches.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"training\" class=\"fusion-container-anchor\"><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background fusion-parallax-fixed nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling lazyload\" style=\"--awb-background-position:center bottom;--awb-border-sizes-top:0px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:0px;--awb-border-sizes-left:0px;--awb-border-sizes-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:0px;--awb-padding-right:0px;--awb-padding-bottom:0px;--awb-padding-left:0px;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;--awb-background-color:#dddddd;--awb-background-size:cover;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;background-attachment:fixed;\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/www.opusgrc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bg-1-1-1.png\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column fusion-animated\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:50px;--awb-padding-right:30px;--awb-padding-bottom:50px;--awb-padding-left:30px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:30px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-animationType=\"fadeInUp\" data-animationDuration=\"1.0\" data-animationDelay=\"0.5\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-19\"><h1>TRAINING GROUP<\/h1>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-20\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#000000;\"><p>This year the conference includes a Training Pathway for those experienced in group relations conferences who wish to develop their consultancy skills.
