    ENGAGE

    This workshop starts with a simple premise: Communication has two layers - a content and a relationship layer. The concepts and research insights we want to get across and discuss form the basis of our teaching. But it is the relationship layer that enables us to develop trust, support our students‘ development and produce great course results.

Testimonials

“The Headstart course was great. It is really a must-have tool-kit when you are a new lecturer in Sweden. You get to understand how to navigate the Swedish educating system and the by-laws, where to look for help when you are lost within the rules, and how to translate your teaching skills to the Swedish education system so you can deliver what the students expect.”

- Carlos Mauricio Castaño Díaz, Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg
