PEOPLE TO PEOPLE Workshop
PEOPLE TO PEOPLE workshop teaches a practical approach of communicating as efficiently as possible. This program is for participants at any level to learn how best to interact with each other. Whether in the workplace or a teaching environment, or in life in general, communication is key.
Neil Farrelly leads you through this dynamic program that will involve intensive ensemble group work, a mixture of roleplaying, supporting exercises and the presentation of ideas. The program becomes a truly interactive experience, where participants will learn how best to coherently and clearly communicate with not just your fellow group members, but your audience and students too. Participants will be required to play a number of varied roles: teacher, student, mentor, presenter, performer, and any number of people/things from your imagination. Each participant requires commitment, focus and a desire to participate wholly in the group.
