The Workshop consisted on presentation of behavioral styles and how to deal with stress in order to help participants collaborate and relate to others.  The objective of the workshop was that through interactive games, questionnaires and simulations, participants could discover their style of behavior advice (foundation: DISC, personality questionnaire), encourage acquaintance and better communication with people of different behavioral styles, encourage understanding and acceptance of the diversity of others.

The participants had to fill in a questionnaire which provided insight into many aspects of interpersonal relationships, a description of individual behavioral styles, interactions with other styles, and tools for mutual understanding and acceptance. A great way to inappropriately communicate and collaborate in organizations and team members, useful for union work.

There was carried out a work in group where participants had to present an example of organizing a union trip, the participants were divided into groups of 4 people, they were given different roles (red, yellow, blue, green), the task was to organize a union trip, and to behave according to instructions. From this workshop the participants understood that it is difficult to act and be in a role that is not natural to you, we feel better when we are authentic, when we act authentically in accordance with our style, for cooperation and some result we must have different styles in the team, only then we will achieve something. This was an interesting exercise, fun, entering different roles made participants aware to recognize and confirm how they feel best, and at the same time to see the differences in styles and what is important for cooperation.
