Course objectives
The aim of the course is to improve the inter- and intrapersonal communication skills of (not only) students of the pharmacy program in various environments from study to work and personal. The course will also support the integration of non-formal education methods in the teaching of university science-oriented disciplines, increase students' pro-activity, support their social feelings and more active involvement in society.
Learning outcomes
The outcomes of the course depend on the level of personal involvement of individual students and their willingness to use the methods and techniques acquired in their lives. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to use many specific techniques and methods, including: - give the other party space to express, actively listen and give quality and structured feedback; - distinguish individual communication contexts only of one's own, but also from the point of view of the other party; - understand the principles of assertive behavior and nonviolent communication and become aware of the techniques of their use.
