Drama and Improvisation
Want to get your message across?
Improvisation is one of the most efficient and exciting ways to develop core business and communication skills. Whether you have to chair a meeting or deliver a presentation, improvisation can help you make clear decisions in the moment and communicate your ideas effectively. So whether you want to focus on listening skills, body language or use of your voice, the module Improvisation and Drama provides the safe environment in which to explore and practise different aspects of your own style.
This module is scheduled at the same time as Dutch Society and Innovation Research Competences for Urban Development. They can therefore not be taken simultaneously.
