Intensive encounter group experience, social fabric, academic and personal formation.Abstract
In this article we intend to show the relevance of Intensive Encounter Groups in the academic and personal formation of students of the Master ?s in Human Development (MDH) in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. We describe the bases for this strategy with its theoretical framework in Humanistic Psychology. A small research project was carried out with participants of an intensive encounter group made up of students and graduates of the MDH, through the application, during the event, of a questionnaire about the most important things they have experienced and learnt. The results indicate that the encounter promoted a strengthening of the social fabric, the development of attitudes and skills for facilitation, experiences, and meaningful learning, that contributed to personal development. In addition, the importance of offering this kind of space in the MDH framework was definitely recognized.
