Ein Strandurlaub in Griechenland oder doch lieber einen Städtetrip in die Toskana? Die derzeitigen Urlaubsplanungen sind ungewiss und offen, aber wir helfen euch, Sightseeing der etwas anderen Art zu genießen. 😉
We all know the stories of Asterix and Obelix, who, with a mixture of belligerence, self-confidence, shrewdness, cunning and not to forget the dosed use of their magic potion, defy the superiority of the Romans again and again and stand up to them in their legendary Gallic village. There is also a superiority in the conflict of interests between capital and labour. It is an asymmetrical, unequal struggle for participation and fair distribution under capitalist conditions. This makes it all the more important to know exactly what the ingredients are and to be able to analyse them, from which we can brew our „magic potion“ „countervailing power“.

Sometimes groups can be too much for the trainers themselves. Our case group is discussing in the park today whether this is something that can be shown or not. They are obviously in the storming phase again.

Where do I start? In a world where so many things don’t seem the same as they did a few weeks ago? With a hint that we celebrate 30 issues of #visdo with this blog post? I’ve decided not to put too much emphasis on one or the other topic this time, but instead to give you a tool to celebrate the small #visdo anniversary – to find the right words in a time when many discussions are shifting to the online world and there’s so much to say. And that with comics!
In today’s post we discuss the topic of group phases and look at how they can be identified in practice.
Fortunately, our case group has recently dealt with the topic. So we again take the opportunity to look over the shoulders of our protagonists – Maria, Yasemine, Rudi, Beate and Paul – and hear what they have to say about the topic. This time it was not so easy, as our case group did not meet in the back room of the pub of their choice, but – bingo – online…

In this part we think about our role as trainers. Beate has been asked to lead a seminar for managers who work a lot with project groups. She uses our case group to test the structure of her seminar. In doing so, she deals with questions like „What is too much control? Where is the border to complete laissez-faire and how much should trainers get involved at all?“
Welcome to grumo_#4!
Rudi is pissed off when he sends a message to his colleagues to skip the next meeting. He had worked with a new group for the first time the day before and didn’t feel like being with people at all. Yasmine calls him and asks if she can do something to improve his mood. Rudi briefly outlines the situation he has experienced and is a bit at a loss as to how he should prepare for the next appointment with the group. „But Rudi, then our meeting is just the thing for you!“

The balance of power in the interest of politics has changed. Dialogue between the social partners and influence on state legislation have dropped dramatically in importance. Trade union countervailing power must now be organised differently, and trade union education work also demands this!

The fact that a group of people come together, get to know each other, define themselves as a „group“ and also „function“ together in the long term seems to be a completely everyday process. It happens by itself – doesn’t it? What a group needs to become and stay a group is what #grumo_02 is all about!

What do I get out of knowing how to work with groups?
In the #grumo, Gerda Kolb and Irene Zavarsky deal with groups and everything that entails: expectations, getting to know each other, conflicts, disturbances, dynamics, good beginnings and fast finales. The aim is not to articulate absolute truths, but to point out possibilities for (re)acting in the respective situations and therefore to expand the readers‘ repertoire of actions and to promote productive exchange. Comments on your own experiences and strategies are very welcome and encouraged!
