Why:
There has been a growing need of presentation skills demanded mainly by the students participating in Erasmus mobilities. There have also been very little opportunities for further education students to experience a thematic intensive educational experience in intercultural environment. These two aspects, put together with tough situation on the job market, were the main triggers of creating such a course.
Innovation:
The teaching programme blends lectures with workshops and a lot of practical work. There is a lot of space for feedback, self evaluation and evaluation. To insure student-centered approach, non formal methodology is used, including a drama day to open student´s creativity.
