The third day of the “All You Need Is Talk” no. 2023-3-PL01-KA153-YOU-000172584 training was dedicated to deepening our understanding of communication in all its complexity. We started the morning with an engaging session on active listening, where participants explored how truly hearing others can transform dialogue. The theoretical introduction was followed by practical exercises that encouraged everyone to put their new skills into action.
After a refreshing coffee break, we dove into the concept of the Ladder of Perception – a powerful model that reveals how individuals interpret the world around them and how easily misunderstandings can arise. This session encouraged participants to reflect on their own assumptions and the impact these have on communication.
Following a well-deserved lunch break, we shifted our focus to personality types and effective communication. Participants learned about different personality profiles and how these influence our ways of interacting. The session emphasized the importance of adapting communication styles to foster better connections.
In the late afternoon, after another short break, we returned with hands-on personality exercises and activities aimed at identifying potential sources of communication breakdowns. These practical elements helped bring the day’s insights into focus, equipping participants with tools for more mindful and effective interpersonal exchanges.
To end the day, we enjoyed a shared dinner and a vibrant cultural evening, where participants had the chance to connect on a personal level, celebrate diversity, and experience the richness of each other’s backgrounds in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
