Academic Communication

What is the goal of the training programme?

The main purpose of this course is to provide participants with the know-how needed to communicate effectively. The training will focus on all different aspects of communication that can be found in a daily life. Starting from oneself, moving to communication in the group, non-verbal communication, barriers in communication, ending with the online and external communication. We will be looking for the differences and similiarities in our personalities and the way of our thinking. We will learn how to express our needs and feelings non-violently and to give feedback properly. Effective communication in all sectors of our lives is a key competence for our relationships.

Whom does it address?

Participants to the training should be members of the academic community with an English level of B1 or above, looking to develop and/or improve their communication knowledge and skills: teaching staff, administrative staff, PhD candidates or researchers etc.

How is the programme structured?

The training programme will take place in the lovely city of Brno, Czech Republic. Booming Brno, with its creativity, history and subterranean mystery, is the perfect antidote to overrun Prague and its forests of selfie sticks. The training programme will be divided into interactive workshops combined with theory, individual, small and big group activities. With a total duration of 25 hours, the classes will take place from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 3 pm. After completion, all participants will be awarded Erasmus+ Staff Mobility (STT) certificates. The training includes also a cultural component with the possibility to visit the Špilberk Castle, the 2nd Largest Ossuary in Europe, go on a hot air balloon ride, visit Brno‘s unique villas, go on a walking city tour and experience a traditional Czech cuisine.

Can the training be funded through Erasmus+ STT grants?

Yes, each participant can apply for a mobility grant within his/her institution. We will provide all the required documentation for the Erasmus+ STT grant applicants: invitation, training curricula and certificate of attendance.
