This is our most popular course. We know that handovers and knowledge transfer can be time-consuming and challenging. Sammen Student Life therefore offers a course designed to make the transition easier. The course covers the key topics for new boards and aims to give you a strong foundation for your work.
Leadership in Student Associations
As a leader, you need to master a wide range of tasks. You must delegate, set goals and manage by them, understand the individuals around you, and gain insight into your Student Association, to name a few.
In this course, you will learn more about the leadership role, different leadership styles, motivation techniques, and delegation. The course also includes practical exercises and experience-sharing.

Meeting Facilitation
This course is for anyone who plans and leads small or large meetings. We cover how to engage quieter participants and moderate those who tend to dominate discussions. We also introduce tools to help the group stay on schedule and on topic.
The goal is to give participants the skills to lead meetings that energize rather than drain.
