Course objectives

Course goals in details: General. Participants acquire personal experience, skills, and background knowledge in situations of professional and everyday communication (such as listening, articulating, speaking in a group, conflict resolution, decision making, etc.). Participants build a learning community around the concern for better communication and understanding. Level of knowledge and intellect. Students acquire knowledge about the basics of the Person Centered Approach and Person Centered Encounter Groups. Level of skills and capabilities. Students gain active listening skills and improve their abilities in spontaneous communication and decision making in a group setting. Level of attitudes and awareness. Students gain self-experience while expressing own feelings, meanings, and intentions and perceiving those of others. They experience active listening and develop their own attitude towards it. Students become more sensitive and open to their own experience and loosen preconceived, rigidly held constructs. Students move towards acceptance and better understanding of themselves and others. Students move from more stereotyped behavior and facades to more personal expressiveness.

Learning outcomes

- professionally communicate using capabilities such as active listening, articulating, speaking in a group, resolve conflicts, make decisions;
- express oneself in ways that facilitate understanding;
- explain principles of Person Centered Approach and Person Centered Encounter Groups and apply them;
- spontaneously communicate and make decisions in a group setting;
- gain self-experience while expressing own feelings, meanings, and intentions and perceiving those of others;
- become more sensitive and open to their own experience and loosen preconceived, rigidly held constructs;
- move from more stereotyped behavior and facades to more personal expressiveness.

Course objectives

The primary goal of this course is to allow students to communicate more sensitively and effectively. The students will learn how to listen actively and to express oneself in ways that facilitate understanding.
Course goals in details: General. Participants acquire personal experience, skills, and background knowledge in situations of professional and everyday communication (such as listening, articulating, speaking in a group, conflict resolution, decision making, etc.). Participants build a learning community around the concern for better communication and understanding. Level of knowledge and intellect. Students acquire knowledge about the basics of the Person Centered Approach and Person Centered Encounter Groups. Level of skills and capabilities. Students gain active listening skills and improve their abilities in spontaneous communication and decision making in a group setting. Level of attitudes and awareness. Students gain self-experience while expressing own feelings, meanings, and intentions and perceiving those of others. They experience active listening and develop their own attitude towards it. Students become more sensitive and open to their own experience and loosen preconceived, rigidly held constructs. Students move towards acceptance and better understanding of themselves and others. Students move from more stereotyped behavior and facades to more personal expressiveness.

Learning outcomes

After a successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:
- professionally communicate using capabilities such as active listening, articulating, speaking in a group, resolve conflicts, make decisions;
- express oneself in ways that facilitate understanding;
- explain principles of Person Centered Approach and Person Centered Encounter Groups and apply them;
- spontaneously communicate and make decisions in a group setting;
- gain self-experience while expressing own feelings, meanings, and intentions and perceiving those of others;
- become more sensitive and open to their own experience and loosen preconceived, rigidly held constructs;
- move from more stereotyped behavior and facades to more personal expressiveness.

Participants build a learning community around the concern for better communication and understanding. Level of knowledge and intellect. Students acquire knowledge about the basics of the Person Centered Approach and Person Centered Encounter Groups. Level of skills and capabilities. Students gain active listening skills and improve their abilities in spontaneous communication and decision making in a group setting. Level of attitudes and awareness. Students gain self-experience while expressing own feelings, meanings, and intentions and perceiving those of others. They experience active listening and develop their own attitude towards it. Students become more sensitive and open to their own experience and loosen preconceived, rigidly held constructs. Students move towards acceptance and better understanding of themselves and others. Students move from more stereotyped behavior and facades to more personal expressiveness.

Course objectives

The primary goal of this course is to allow students to communicate more sensitively and effectively. This encompasses the ability to listen actively and to express oneself in ways that facilitate understanding.
The course is highly student-centered in so far as the instructor acts as a facilitator to the group by providing resources and, most importantly, a facilitative atmosphere. Students are expected to contribute actively by attentive listening to one another as well as sharing their feelings, meanings and thoughts, while sitting in a circle to ease mutual perception. It is the way participants communicate with each that is pivotal. Students are invited to be bringing in themes according to their personal and/or professional concerns. Examples of concerns are various conflicts, decisions, particular challenges to meet, problems, opportunities, or just anything participants (students and facilitators) consider important from their personal and subjective point of view.

Course objectives

The primary goal of this course is to allow students to communicate more sensitively and effectively. This encompasses the ability to listen actively and to express oneself in ways that facilitate understanding.
The course is highly student-centered in so far as the instructor acts as a facilitator to the group by providing resources and, most importantly, a facilitative atmosphere. Students are expected to contribute actively by attentive listening to one another as well as sharing their feelings, meanings and thoughts, while sitting in a circle to ease mutual perception. It is the way participants communicate with each that is pivotal. Students are invited to be bringing in themes according to their personal and/or professional concerns. Examples of concerns are various conflicts, decisions, particular challenges to meet, problems, opportunities, or just anything participants (students and facilitators) consider important from their personal and subjective point of view.

Syllabus

• Course goals: General. Participants acquire personal experience, skills, and background knowledge in situations of professional and everyday communication (such as listening, articulating, speaking in a group, conflict resolution, decision making, etc.). Participants build a learning community around the concern for better communication and understanding. Level of knowledge and intellect. Students acquire knowledge about the basics of the Person Centered Approach and Person Centered Encounter Groups. Level of skills and capabilities. Students gain active listening skills and improve their abilities in spontaneous communication and decision making in a group setting. Level of attitudes and awareness. Students gain self-experience while expressing own feelings, meanings, and intentions and perceiving those of others. They experience active listening and develop their own attitude towards it. Students become more sensitive and open to their own experience and loosen preconceived, rigidly held constructs. Students move towards acceptance and better understanding of themselves and others. Students move from more stereotyped behavior and facades to more personal expressiveness.
