Koldaş: "The Program Will Contribute to All Stakeholders to Develop a Common Language and Effective Communication Skills"
Assoc. Prof. Dr Umut Koldaş: "Communication is one of the most important processes in that we can understand each other correctly in every sphere of our social life and produce sustainable solutions that reflect the thoughts of all stakeholders relevant to the resolutions of our common problems. We believe that a common language and communication skills need to be developed in order to create a common intellectual ground amongst the stakeholders in the field of education as well. With this in mind, this short-term training program has been designed for all stakeholders involved in education, mainly teachers, educational administrators, parents, those who are candidates to be a teacher or educator. Through this program, we aim to provide contribution to the creation of a common language focused on problem solving in the educational field and the development of communication skills, which enable the effective use of this common language”.
