Práce v týmu není vždy snadná: odlišné osobnosti, nedorozumění a nejasné vymezení rolí – to vše jsou aspekty, které mohou negativně ovlivnit efektivitu skupiny. Z tohoto důvodu bylo cílem tohoto kurzu osvojit si řadu dovedností, které mohou zajistit nejen efektivitu týmu, ale také podpořit pozitivní atmosféru na pracovišti. Účastí na tomto kurzu získali naši účastníci podněty k tomu, jak se stát lepšími vedoucími týmů i členy týmů, ať už v rámci výuky, nebo při spolupráci s kolegy.
The new edition of the course “Effective Group Management in education: building Teamwork among students” took place in Tenerife from 29/09/2024 do 05/10/2024. The participants came from all across Europe, with Жарко Бабаноски, Мери Свеќароска, Бисера Вишиноска, Елизабета Маркоска, Билјана Ацеска, Стефан Стевананџија and Роберт Ристевски from OOU Rampo Levkata in North Macedonia. 
Throughout the course, we explored various facets of group dynamics and effective team leadership. We began by distinguishing between groups and teams, emphasizing that teams are driven by a common goal. Participants learned that a successful team leader prioritizes this shared objective, ensuring that all members are aligned.

Next, we delved into the significance of clearly defined team roles. Through interactive activities, participants experienced the challenges that arise when roles and responsibilities are ambiguous. This lack of clarity can lead to confusion, tension, and miscommunication, ultimately wasting valuable time as team members struggle to understand their contributions.
On the third day, we shifted our focus to effective team leadership. Participants discovered that a good leader must be adaptable, recognizing both individual strengths and weaknesses as well as the dynamics of the group. We explored various leadership styles, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, highlighting that effective leadership is context-dependent. Participants also learned about coaching techniques and the importance of fostering a growth mindset, which helps maintain motivation and positivity within the team.
Finally, we addressed the role of peer feedback and assessment in the learning process. By implementing peer learning strategies, participants experienced firsthand the value of shifting focus from grading to learning. This approach empowers students to take an active role in their education, enhancing their overall engagement and understanding.
Overall, it was an enriching week filled with learning, knowledge sharing, and enjoyable experiences. Participants left with a comprehensive toolbox of activities and strategies that they can implement in their classrooms, equipped to foster collaboration and growth.
