As a PhD researcher you are immersed into your research subject every day, but how do you bring across your research to a large public? In this course participants are taught to give an audience-focused presentation, instead of a content- or screen-focused presentation.

Course description

All theory will be practiced in exercises and is obtainable on video. The teacher acts as a stage director and gives each participant personal stage directions, that will be applied to their own subject content. The training is intensive and sometimes confronting, but also a perfect chance to learn the tricks of the trade under professional guidance.

After the course, participants will be able to:

  • structure the content in a way that the audience will remember it better;
  • use their body, voice and hands more consciously;
  • keep the attention of the audience more, by making the information that you deliver clearly audible, visible and tangible, establish good contact with the audience;
  • make effective slides and present them audience-focused, instead of screen-focused;
  • deal with tension and present with confidence

Group set-up

The course consists of two plenary sessions with max 15 participants, two group sessions with max 5 participants and two/ three meetings with a peer, to be scheduled by yourselves.
