Communication and Presentation Skills in the Professional Environment

The course Communication and Presentation Skills in Professional Environment is created to develop the today’s important soft skills that are used not just in professional environment, but also in everyday life.

The lectures will demonstrate the latest scientific results connected with the phenomena of communication and presentation (performance) in the interdisciplinary frame where the aspects of philosophy, sociology and psychology will meet the innovative approaches to the subject from the field of art.

The participants will learn and practice successful communication and presentation through various interactive concepts. Understanding communication skills through verbal and visual content will facilitate the mastery of the participants in creating suitable presentation. An additional focus of the training is to familiarize participants with the knowledge of nonverbal communication that humans use in everyday life. The consciousness of how our body works while we are communicating (the theory of gestures) helps to understand others and helps to create clear ideas to our audiences. This is especially important since we are presenting our messages in more and more culturally diverse and complex environment.

A special lecture will be devoted to the so-called “accessible communications” that include knowledge about the importance of creating the “communicational environment” suitable for persons with special needs too.
