Dear Colleagues,
Do you sometimes find Commission documents hard to understand? Have you ever felt you weren’t getting your message across clearly? Have you ever fallen asleep at a conference? If so, you are not alone!
Be sure to come to our ground-breaking one-day event on clear communication - 'Are we clear?' - covering clear writing, speaking and thinking.
Who should attend? All staff of the Commission
Why? We often struggle to explain what we want and what we do (both to external and internal stakeholders)
What is there for you? You can attend conferences and workshops, watch videos of great speeches, and discover many learning tools (some online) that we can use daily to improve our communication – some examples:
- Writing - Colleagues from DGT will give individual tuition on editing texts (you can bring your own!)
- Thinking - Workshops on mind-mapping
- Speaking - Tips on how to make a good presentation
Do I need to attend the entire day? No , you can come and go during the day for the part of the program that interests you (having registered in Syslog beforehand)
So look out for the posters and notices. Don’t forget to apply via Syslog Web Training <http://www.cc.cec/di/syslog_formation/catalogue/catalogue.cfm> for the talks or workshops that tickle your fancy! Search for 'Are we clear' or go to 7.1 Conferences. First come, first served! (Closing date 13 November)
If you want to know more about our day, go to the 'Are we clear?' <http://myintracomm.ec.europa.eu/HR_ADMIN/EN/TRAINING/CLEAR-COMMUNICATION-DAY/Pages/index.aspx> webpage.
And if you are not able to come to GUIM, you will be able to follow the conferences taking place in room 0/1 via webstreaming. The link will be published on the 'Are we clear?' webpage on 14 November.
