Political Communication Skills Training/1
Preparing for Public Speaking and Addressing the Media
13 – 15 October, 2016 in Budapest, Hungary
with the cooperation of Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung Budapest
The Robert Schuman Institute organized a new training series in partnership with the Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung for young first-time elected politicians on the municipal level who want to improve their communication skills. 14 participants arrived from V4 EPP sister parties from Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
In the first meeting the group had several opportunities to improve the verbal and non-verbal communication skills by public presentation practices, simulation of typical scenarios in political meetings and camera exercises. At the same time they learned about responding to problematic situations and behaviour as well as effective message formulation and delivery.
The second meeting is going to take place in Bratislava, Slovakia between 17-19 November with intensive debate exercises.
