Exploring Group Dynamics Through Sociometry

Every group has visible and invisible patterns that influence how people connect, collaborate, and participate. This immersive workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore those dynamics through the practical application of Sociometry, an action-based approach to understanding relationships within groups.

Facilitated by Sara Crane and Simon Gurnsey, the session combines experiential learning, reflective practice, and interactive exercises to help participants uncover the social structures that shape group life. Through engaging activities and real-world applications, you'll gain valuable insights into how connections are formed, where isolation exists, and how stronger relationships can be cultivated.

Rather than focusing solely on theory, this workshop encourages participants to experience sociometric methods firsthand. Using tools such as sociometric mapping, timelines, spectrograms, and role-based exercises, you'll learn how to gather meaningful information about group relationships and use that knowledge to support inclusion, trust, and collaboration.
