Description
Professional knowledge only becomes useful when we can apply it in real, changing situations, and that depends on soft skills such as communication, empathy, creativity, cooperation and emotional balance. These skills will matter more and more in the future, both for those who teach and for their students. This Soft Skills course explores practical, creative ways to develop them through non-formal education tools that you can use with your students.
You will work with four main approaches. Through music, you will discover how it can promote social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, tolerance and mutual understanding, and help prevent aggression and radicalisation. Through art, you will explore how creative activities can celebrate cultural diversity, improve accessibility and equal opportunities, and counter discrimination and exclusion. Through drama and storytelling, including improvisation, role-plays and short plays, you will practise your English while discovering activities that make learning active and engaging for students. Finally, through mindfulness and compassion practices, you will learn how to create a joyful learning atmosphere, show understanding and support to learners, and inspire them with enthusiasm. Every session is practical, so you will experience each activity yourself before adapting it to your classes.
By the end of the course, you will have a varied set of non-formal activities to develop soft skills in yourself and your students.
