Modern Talking – Mastering Communication Skills

Modern Talking – Mastering Communication Skills is a training course, that will be held in Macedonia Ohrid between 28 April -5 May and will bring together 24 experienced youth leaders, trainers, youth workers and project managers from (Albania, Montenegro, Armenia, Poland, Greece, Azerbaijan , Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Portugal, Italy and Macedonia. Through this project we want to raise awareness about the importance of communication and show the participants what affect can it have at their future employment and youth work. We will present first the simplest and the most basics examples of communication as verbal and nonverbal, and from there we will foster the social and marketing communication, computer mediated communication up to cross-cultural. It is crucial for the participants to understand how significant is communication on each level in their life, from talking with the family and their friends, through job interviews, meetings on higher level or project management. Our main goal is to enhance their competences though non-formal education methods, such as simulations, role-playing, open space discussions, brainstorming, ice-breakers and reflection groups. All the knowledge gained by the participants will not only help them with their future employment, but also will prepared them for working in different environments and in intercultural teams. As result of this project we will create a manual to be used as handbook about all types of communication for all the people interested in this topic.
