Our seminars and trainings support the development of media skills in order to be able to participate in public communication (self)confidentialy and in a positive way. Participants acquire new knowledge and immediately apply it in practice.

 

Do you have specific ideas about your training on media literacy or international communication? Then talk to us and together we will adapt the training to your needs!

 

So far we have offered trainings on the following topics:

 

• Content creation for social media

• Online research like the pros

• Systematic and critical (international) media monitoring

• Editorial practice

• Intercultural communication

• Empirical methods in a practice-oriented manner

• Read and analyze surveys and statistics correctly

• Science communication

• Conflict-sensitive reporting

• Recognize and overcome stereotypes

 

The trainings take place as face-to-face or blended learning events. We always use different learning methods: input from trainers, discussions, self-determined development of content, exercises, feedback, process-oriented learning as well as creativity techniques.

Our seminars support the participants in acquiring expert knowledge, in reflecting complex topics and in discovering new aspects in exchange with others. We address target groups who want to think outside the box. Be it to find out how the media work in other countries or to critically refelct one's own media usage. We have already offered seminars on the following topics.

The seminars take place as face-to-face, blended learning events or pure e-learning courses. We use different teaching and learning methods. However, the focus is on the input from trainers, the discussion and the self-determined development of content.

In a lecture the audience is least active. But lectures are still not boring with us. We always work with activating elements, humor and interaction. Regardless of whether it is about media, intercultural communication, e-learning or current media (politics) developments.
