All elements must be passed to achieve the module

Formative learning:

As with the previous module, personal development continues to be a key component of your journey. Experiential group process is the medium through which you will have the opportunity to increase your self-awareness and become more conscious of the underlying processes that are present between you and group members. It is expected that you will allow the emergence of more sensitive material that will facilitate a deeper acceptance of difference and diversity and an ability to be more congruent and immediate in your relationships. Your learning journal will aid the process of reflection and analysis.
