Self-Presentation 2300-ZKZ-A
The course is designed as an intensive practical workshop focused on developing skills in building a professional image and effectively presenting personal resources in the job market within alternative education and socio-cultural animation.
During the classes, students learn to identify and precisely define their unique competencies (strengths, experience, potential) and translate them into modern forms of self-presentation. The curriculum covers the creation of modern application documents and a digital professional portfolio, respecting copyright and image protection. Students master body language techniques, voice emission, coping with stress during public speaking, and participate in simulations of job interviews and project presentations. An essential part of the workshop involves camera work (video-feedback) and learning how to give and receive constructive feedback (feedforward).
