Dear ECT-Skills friends,
Diana gave us her impressions of the Learning Teaching Training Activity for Learners 😀

"I attended the student bootcamp held in Sofia from the 17 to the 21 September 2021. It was a very well organized event and I had the opportunity to learn a lot about critical thinking applied to different types of business. All the speakers were very helpful and very kind in replying to all of our questions and doubts.The learning environment was very productive and funny. Both the indoor and the outdoor activities were interesting and well planned. I have learned a lot of new words in English and I am sure this experience has helped me increasing my English speaking skills and my critical thinking abilities."

Thank you Diana for your feedback!!!!!!

"The event was based on the vital necessity of the demands of modern world to find new ways on how to combine business studies and a certain level of formal or semi-formal language,and the usage of critical thinking skills.
The agenda offered an exchange of some practical approaches on acquiring entrepreneurship issues in conjunction with appropriate English language structures and
vocabulary.
Naples Project gave me much “food for thought””:
The current reality shows how quick-thinking , flexible and brainy one entrepreneur should be, and here was an activity called An Elevator Pitch - a method of presenting an idea in a condensed form : to explain a business idea and convince an investor/possible partner in 2 minutes!
“People buy for benefits, not features”, a clear conclusion was made after our Roleplays done as a practical part in a presentation of Business simulation method.
The art of selling, a good mutual rapport with everybody involved, a bit of fun included - these are some of things to keep in mind while going onto business.
Green approaches to education and entrepreneurship! The importance of focusing on environmental issues in everything we plan and do has become essential. Good examples
were mentioned from Italian side.
Casual or highly formal language, confidence or humility, directness or indirectness-a
range of linguistic issues , manners of behaviour were discussed and exposed , and
discussed.

Thank you for giving me a chance to participate in Naples project!"
