            As an academic teacher, it’s important to recognize how implementing group activities with

            design and management can pose several risks: unequal participation, conflict and disagree
            task behavior, lack of accountability, ineffective learning, negative group dynamics, frus
            demotivation.


            To mitigate these risks, it's essential to understand how to structure, facilitate, and ma
            activities effectively. That why in this workshop we will work together (thanks exactly to
