Explanation:
Hola Bernadette,

Efectivamente, dinámica de grupo es group dynamics - sin embargo en este caso se refiere a que el Sr. X permanece receptivo y observador durante toda la sesión de dinámica de grupo.

Mientras que en español funciona bien omitiendo sesión, creo que en inglés funciona mejor omitiendo "dynamics".

Suerte y sonrisas,

Álvaro :O) :O)

neutral  Judith Kerman: I'm not sure the text describes a planned activity such as an exercise or test - seems more like a comment about the dynamics of an interaction.

agree  Mar Brotons: yes, the use of "a lo largo de..." is the key to the meaning.

dinámica de grupo
group exercise


Explanation:
No es "group dynamics" es otro concepto totalmente ajeno. Se trata de un "group exercise", una dinámica armada por el facilitador en la cual participan los asistentes.

Hay muchos que opinan de lo contrario, pero insisto, y con fundada razón.
