Ateneo - UPO

Our lives are immersed in and made of relationships. Much is left to chance and instead relationships are based on precise dynamics, techniques, contexts and dimensions. The workshop aims to provide students with some tools for analysis and reflection on relationships, communication techniques and how the context can influence the quality of relationships.
Through techniques and exercises also coming from some training in the world of theatre and live entertainment, we will work between theoretical and experiential aspects on some key elements such as: proxemics, verbal and non-verbal communication, gaze and vision, proxemics, trust, empathy, noise and leadership skills

Integration of the gender dimension: during the workshop, an exercise on gender inequality will be dedicated in particular, which can offer food for thought on what the gender gap still means today. In addition, a brief in-depth analysis will be done on what the acronym LGBTQI+ means.
