Description of the initiative
The Course: The secret of good scientific dissemination lies in the ability to ignite a spark capable of stimulating the curiosity of the listener. Those who do research, however, are rarely able to put themselves on the wavelength of a layman and do notend up talking as they would with colleagues or students who follow the courses ... Inorder to be understood by the housewife and the employee, but also by the economist or the politician, it is necessary to develop a different way of communicating. You have to learn a series of techniques related to information processing, the functioning of the human mind, public speaking, storytelling, non-verbal communication... all things that are not normally taught in university courses.The aim of this course, therefore, will be to provide participants with a box of creative and reasoning tools essential to transform their ability to express themselves and, above all, to be understood. The course includes moments of putting into practice what you learn.
