micelab:bodensee: Me & Us
In the fifth “experts” session—the learning module of the micelab:bodensee continuing education platform for event organizers—participants explored how individuals and groups can realize their full potential at conferences. Striking a balance between personal responsibility and leadership, and between taking and giving space, is crucial in this context.
"We experience time and again at events that the balance between individual participants and the group is not right. Some are so dominant that they dominate the group, while others get lost in it," explains micelab lead partner and Director of Kongresskultur Bregenz, Gerhard Stübe. Curator Tina Gadow adds: "Ideally, each individual brings their own skills to the group, perhaps leading a workshop or moderating a session. In turn, the group encourages them to do just that. This creates added value for both sides." The forty experts from the network around Lake Constance investigated what it takes to achieve this. http://www.micelab-bodensee.com
