What is the goal of the training program?
The main purpose of the Erasmus+ STT week on Communication Skills for the Academic Community is to provide participants with the know-how needed to communicate effectively at the university. The training will focus on understanding the academic culture and the way it impacts the communication processes. Diplomacy and professionalism is key for achieving effective communication, together building the foundation of positive working relationships. Participants will interact in a dynamic scenery, designed to foster dialogue and debate, being constantly challenged through tasks and case studies consisting of hypothetical scenarios.
