Encore 2 is a training course with the aim to improve the quality of daily and business connections by sharing and exchanging tools and practices from different sectors and different fields of communication.

We invite you to identify your usual communication patterns and create new ones for new situations.

**Build-up**

-Preparation-
If you are selected, you are going to get a preparation task before the training. You need to finish it before the training and it is there to support you to create awareness of your actual life (both personal and professional) situation.

-Training-
We are going to work from morning till late evening. The program is super intense and very well packed.

People who decide that they want to participate are going to have opportunities to experience and explore different methods from the basics of NLP, through the 4 different communication styles till some art therapy. Activities what we planned for the course are all from non-formal educational activities and by which you are learning by experience. Meaning that we are going to do and do things. Every day, every session is going to use the knowledge/experience of the previous ones and build on it, every step is going to be a bit more difficult in order that we keep our brain, body and state alive and fresh and ready all the time.

Your enterprise or project will be the main focus. We will have a look from many different angles. From the point of a grant agency, from the point of a business company, from the point of a target group.

With the activities, we are going to share with you tools to reshape, reframe and reform your idea if it is needed to reach the dreamed goal/destination/target/aim.

-Dissemination-
If you decide to come you also commit yourself that you are going to disseminate the results of the training with an activity back home. This is the most important part of the project. During this dissemination event, you can measure how much knowledge you can really implement into your life.

**Program**

We are going to set all the frames of the training and create together the playground for the group.

-Day 2-5: Preparation phase-
You will have a chance to go through processes, which supports you to see your own ways and to experience how does it work in a group context. All the activities are designed in a way that they prepare you to be able to do a presentation on Day 6.

We are going to deal with the topics of:
– 4 different styles of communication

-Day 6: MY big day-
During this day participants are going to be outdoor. Each and every participant are going to receive an individual challenge plus they are going to have a chance to present what they prepared for.

-Day 7: OUR big day-
From the individual challenges, we move one level upper and we create accomplish a group challenge together.

-Day 8: Planning and closing-
The last day is dedicated to finalizing the master plans for the disseminations.
It is also there to close the relationships in between and to evaluate the program.

After the training, we will continue the communication online to share how the shared tools support developing your idea. Trainers are going to be available for online consultation.

We will take care to challenge you with activities and to offer you a chance to be all the time in a state of learning. This training is like sports trainings it is going to train your stamina, from many different points: we will constantly work and work and work.

They are going to be assisted by a small international team who are there to learn and to experience connection and communication from a different point of view.
