Soft skills

In this workshop, educational professionals will enhance their communication and social competencies, essential for fostering a supportive learning environment, particularly for students who may require additional support. The workshop is designed not only for instructors and adult education facilitators but also for non-instructional staff who will find the team-building exercises particularly beneficial.

Participants will engage in active learning techniques and practical activities that encourage a connection with their imaginative side, fostering creativity. They will be challenged to step outside their comfort zones, which is key to strengthening self-assurance and adaptability. The training will cover strategies to enrich the learning atmosphere, focusing on empathy, active listening, public speaking, and managing stress effectively.

There will be a deep dive into the core elements of teamwork and trust-building, with direct experiences that enable participants to apply these concepts in their educational settings. After all, to cultivate and advance technical abilities, a solid foundation in communication and interpersonal skills is indispensable.
