Soft skills allow us to communicate harmoniously, adapt to new environments, deal with unexpected situations and achieve our goals in the best possible way.
By developping them, we can achieve healthier interactions, better understanding and better outcomes - be it in a classroom or in a working team.

In this course, education workers or managers will learn to improve their own communication and relational skills in order to enrich their teaching and leadership methods, and to pass on soft skills to their students or colleagues.
