The workshop was conducted by Natalia Paevskaya, Associate Professor of the Chair of Acmeology and Psychology of Professional Activity at the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.

The participants got acquainted with different techniques and warm-up exercises which are used during a typical psychodrama session and are aimed at developing group thinking.

Both students and lecturers were involved in the discussions. Kristina Tsaturyan, Head of the International Cooperation Unit, Anna Hakhumyan, a leading specialist of the Quality Assurance Department, and Marian Melkumyan, Chairperson of the Student Scientific Society, were particularly active during the event.
