A work environment to thrive in is an interest all staff members share – no matter if they are new in an institution or have already worked there for many years. That is why this workshop is dedicated to all members of staff, irrespective of their years of experience.

We strongly recommend to take the workshop THRIVE I before booking this workshop, but it is not a requirement for participating in this workshop.

By investing in this workshop or a series of workshops, you are investing in your current and future staff. Our mission is to support you in attracting global talent, keeping it and making it thrive.

THRIVE II assists you and your staff members in shaping a positive and healthy work environment that strengthens your staff’s job satisfaction as well as sense of self-efficacy and that reduces stress. By that, the workshop contributes to your employees‘ well-being and retention, to employees that are better able to focus and that are more eager to invest time and energy in innovative teaching approaches and research projects.

You decide! Based on our availabilities, we will try our very best to find a workshop date that matches your preferences. Indicate your preferred dates in the booking request form.

We encourage in-person workshops, as they provide the best outlet for interacting and networking with fellow teaching colleagues. However, we do understand if you prefer to conduct the workshop digitally instead and will accommodate to your preferences.

Alice Srugies is instructing the workshop. She has more than ten years of experience working in higher education, teaching in diverse classrooms, developing and managing courses as well as study programs in Sweden and Germany. She has both conducted research on strategic communication and worked as a communication professional herself, with a particular focus on making complex topics easily accessible to different audiences. Learn more about her on the website www.alicesrugies.com.

Workshops are limited for up to 15 participants to allow for an interactive workshop setting in which we can discuss, answer your questions and adapt the workshop as best as possible to your institution. Workshops run with a minimum number of four participants.

While the idea is to hold workshops for staff members of one Department or Faculty at a time, it is possible to provide workshops for staff members of one higher education institution across Faculties. If you are interested in this, please let us know in the booking request form.

The workshop and the workshop materials are in English. However, we are happy to conduct the workshop in Swedish upon request.

The workshop costs 15.000 SEK (excluding VAT). This price covers the fees for all workshop participants as well as workshop materials.

The workshop price does not include possible costs for renting a workshop room or travel costs that arise for the instructor when travelling to your premises to conduct the workshop.

You can also book this workshop as part of a package and save on workshop costs:

• 3 Workshops for 30.000 SEK (excluding VAT) – HEAD START + two other work shops (instead of 40.000 SEK, excluding VAT)

• 4 Workshops for 40.000 SEK (excluding VAT) - HEAD START + two other work shops (instead of 55.000 SEK, excluding VAT)

Sometimes, the best questions pop up after a workshop. That is why you have the chance to digitally ask follow-up questions. We would also love to learn more about your teaching experiences after you have completed the workshop. How have the knowledge and the tools from the workshop helped you in your teaching? Which challenges have you come across? How have you tackled them? We are keen to hear your stories and your feedback.
