They know which factors influence starting, maintaining and ending group processes. Students recognise needs for activity-based group methods and are familiar with various action models. Students know how activity-based methods can be used to support various client group's wellbeing, ability to function and self-realization and how the methods can promote group formation, sense of community and clients' goals. Students know the principles of social encouragement and sociocultural work in Finnish and international contexts. They know how to encourage groups of clients to recognise their own way of expressing themselves through activities or interests and how to encourage clients to acquire the necessary skills and other resources and to commit themselves to common activity. Students are able to promote the group process to ensure group members' participation and constructive solutions to potential conflicts.
