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 people with special needs, too.
