Thematik

The course will introduce students to the theoretical and practical aspects of basic communication skills. In addition to the theoretical background of communication (types and levels of communication; communication styles and principles; the role of suggestive communication; intercultural communication), the seminars will provide students with communication exercises to develop their advocacy, conflict management and empathy skills, which are essential for effective work and cooperation. By developing communication competences, students will increase their sense of ownership and develop their ability to use professional and effective oral, written and network communication methods and tools.
