Group work is an effective way of developing our social skills, solving tricky problems and communicating complex ideas. It is important that we have a positive, 'can-do' attitude to be able to contribute to a team and avoid feeling defeated when the work becomes challenging. Working with others is a crucial life skill and will reappear regularly throughout our lives.

• Communication skills
• Leadership skills
• Self-assurance
• Tolerance
