TRAINING
OBJECTIVES:
NISPAcee has 17 years' extensive experience in
carrying out international activities, such as conferences, training courses
and workshops. As a result of these activities, NISPAcee recognised the urgent
need to assist adult education staff extend their presentation skills. Although
international academic staff and others working in the education sector are
able to develop papers and written documents / presentations of a very high
quality, they lack the necessary presentation skills required and are unable to
present their work in an attractive manner to their audience.
Therefore, the main objective of this training
session is to develop participants' presentation skills and introduce them to
different presentation techniques and tools, including presentation software.
Adequate presentation skills are vital for all professionals to be able to
share their knowledge and experience with the targeted audience, mainly in the
light of the ever increasing requirements for quality education in order to
satisfy EU standards.
In this training session, the participants will be
trained in two key topics: the rules for preparing a quality presentation, and
the rules for delivering their own presentations.
The participants will learn to:
* understand
the differences between the various types of presentation,
* explore
the essential components of a presentation,
* propose
atime schedule for the preparation of a presentation and own presentation,
* learn
the formula for effective presentation preparation,
* choose
different approaches to the structure of the presentation,
* analyse
the audience.
The participants will learn what they have to do
as professional presenters, how to begin, where to stand, what to say, how to
move, how to avoid stress, how to conclude a presentation and, wherever
possible, how to control the discussion.
