Effective Communication – workshops for improving communication skills

One group of ATL skills that is very important for our relationships is communication skills. It is a vital skill in both personal and school life. Whether you are expressing ideas, negotiating, or simply having a conversation, your communication skills have a great impact on your interactions and relationships.
The Grade 5 students were interested in becoming effective communicators by learning how to express their ideas and opinions clearly and confidently, while also being able to accept others’ points of view.
Whether you are listening or speaking, you have to understand the other person’s perspective in order to comprehend or convey a message. In both ways we perceive, hear, or feel anything that the words we use are actually trying to communicate.
Communication is a beautiful skill that can be learned, practiced, and improved upon. We have learned how to listen, understand, give feedback, or use feedback given to us in order to feel better, behave better, and understand each other better.
Every student got a certificate for their effort and achievement in these workshops, so they can continue using these skills in their everyday and school life even more effectively than before.
