Hello everyone! As you all might have already heard from Heather about the 7 Cups Academy, we have been hard at work creating its framework, which includes the creation of 3 new tracks (in addition to the Internship and LDP), and we’re excited to present our first course under the 7 Cups Academy.

The theoretical and practical knowledge are used to explore the stages of group development, decision-making techniques, group dynamics, group problem and solving, group leadership skills, cultural sensitivity, norms, and interpersonal dynamics within groups.

Check mark The Program further divided into two categories:

For Member Chatroom Track (Available to Members and Listeners)
