Clear and concise communication enable students to navigate social interactions, build relationships, and effectively communicate their thoughts, ideas and feelings. However, many students have difficulty developing these skills and it can affect their overall well-being and academic performance.

This 6-day course is designed to provide educators with the knowledge, tools, and strategies necessary to help students develop their communication and social skills. Educators will also gain practical guidelines for integrating activities and implementing programmes across the areas of curriculum and school life. Discussions, site visits and group work will enrich sharing ideas and exchange of practice between participants. There is also the possibility to extend the course to 7-day.

The hands-on approach is used to examine real examples, case studies, surveys and simulations. The group activities foster mutual learning, cooperation and collaboration between participants. The discussions encourage sharing ideas, intercultural dialogue and the exchange of good practices between the participants. Social, networking and cultural activities give participants the opportunity to establish professional cooperation and links with teachers, staff, schools and organisations in Europe.
