Emek Hasheva, a mediation and conflict management group, came to speak with our cohort and give us some techniques about working in a group. In our 2 sessions with them, we developed so many skills for communicating and cooperating as a team. Some of the techniques we learned with Emek Hasheva came from playing games with no rules, playing games with many rules, and associating words to scenarios. Through it all, we learned how to better understand each other as a group. One of the greatest takeaways from our 2 sessions with Emek Hasheva was the importance of Interpersonal Communication. This means, ones ability to talk to others. Although this concept may seem self-explanatory, the manner in which you speak to somebody or present information can dramatically change the outcome of the conversation or the message you are trying to convey, and this was present during all of the hands-on examples we were shown.
