Video conferencing can be exhausting, even for highly engaged participants during an in-person session. The online WBAA training “Build Strong Relationships Regionally – Virtual Toolbox for Making Virtual Conferencing and Meetings More Powerful and Interactive” has the aim to provide adequate skillsets and modern tools for young people from the Western Balkan countries (Bosnia & Herzegowina, Montenegro and Serbia) on how virtual events can be a blast.

It also will ensure their successful guidance of the transition from “normal” to “new normal” and “post-new normal” in the fields of labor market, formal and non-formal areas. The lectures and workshops together with adequate supporting materials will showcase to the WBAA participants how to create highly interactive, dynamic, well organized and well attended online events. And additionally last but not least, how to overcome shyness and speak better at online meetings.

This educational project will be organized through online lectures, trainings with interactive workshops and Q&A sessions. it will be conducted by highly skilled professional trainers with proven experience in EU educational projects, online education, project management and corporate communication: Marija Stevuljević, M. A. and Ivana Jovanović, PhD candidate.

All participants will experience group work for implementation and practical presentation of key learnings. They will be provided with an e-brochure with the key points from lectures and workshops as well as a use-case based open point list for participants’ future events & projects. All these outcomes should help participants to build and realize their future projects.

After each module, participants will receive an evaluation form to measure success. Some of the topics will be how to have participants/students engaged, especially in Q & A sessions, what to do in small groups, how to use e-games, mind maps, quizzes, and how to improve speaking and presentational skills. #NewNormal is here – are you ready to adapt?

See how it went.
