The main purpose of this interactive workshop is to support critical reflection on co-supervisor roles within supervisory teams. The session focuses on three main themes. First, it explores the benefits and challenges associated with team supervision. Second, it provides clarification on the role of the co-supervisor. Third, it addresses negotiating the co-supervisor's position and their recognition within the team. Through dialogue and practical activities, participants explore how to define, analyse, and negotiate their position more clearly and effectively.
