We encourage you to take part in all the training sessions!

Learning objectives:

Every graduate of the School of Communication will have to organise at least one training session for people active in the local community, during which they will share with them the valuable knowledge they have gained during their own training. A volunteering agreement will be drawn up with the graduates. We will also provide all technical and financial support when organising their own training courses after completing the School of Communication.

The training sessions will take place at the Centre for Non-Governmental Organisations – in Katowice, at 14 Kopernika Street.
