It’s not easy to underestimate the importance of communication in our lives. Having been born in society,interactions with other individuals are both prerequisite for human existence and development. Usually described as a simple exchange of information between recipients, it’s also a form of self-expression, discussion, negotiation, problem-solving, conflict management where participants establish their role in this process consciously or unconsciously.Moreover, it is the interaction between the individual and society.“Communication-the human connection – is the key to personal and career success” (Paul J. Meyer) but at the same time, inefficient communication has numerous “side effects” such as distrust, stress and frustration, misunderstandings and conflicts, which are often caused by lack of empathy, lack of respect, non-constructive expression of emotions and feelings, and simply by lack of communication skills. Looking at educational perspective, it’s obvious that in the current situation, some of the major priorities should be building tolerance and respect for human rights as well as appreciating human dignity, diversity, inclusion and intercultural learning both among young people and educators. Educators, to our mind, play one of the key roles in this process, acting as mentors, teachers, role- models and “peace-builders” in this shaky period. But if we look closer, communication is the bedrock of all above mentioned issues. Indeed, based on the competence model for trainers working at international level -“European Training Strategy”,one of the seven competence areas is devoted fully to “communicating meaningfully with others” including such criteria as ability to listen actively,ability to be empathetic, ability to clearly express thoughts and emotions, an awareness of identity based issues and being diversity aware. Moreover, other competence areas involve communication as a predisposition for meeting the criteria described. As we can see, the criteria mentioned are very correlated with the basic human values and principles of respect and dignity which proves one more time that communication skills are the ones which should be developed on the first place if we aim at building a harmonious society with the respect for human rights, diversity and active citizenship. During the open space discussion in the training course in the framework of KA1 project InFormal Basic, supported by Luxembourgish National Agency of Erasmus +,which took place in Armenia 27 October-04 November 2018, participants from Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Poland shared their experiences and reflected on the essential competences of educators. They came to the conclusion that communication is one of the key competences needed for educators which is unfortunately often undervalued by educators themselves as well as by the institutions which provide education and training for educational practitioners. During the discussion, participants identified different dimensions in which efficient communication process is essential for educators and should be constantly developed.After coming back home, they conducted surveys among their colleagues (target group: 92 educators) and found out that only 35% of educators feel they have sufficient communication skills and ability to address conflict constructively, 78% claimed they have difficulties in communication with their school administration, NGO staff and employers, 42% have difficulties in communication with their colleagues which affects their work and only 31% feel they have relevant communication skills for addressing the intercultural groups they are working with. That’s why we want to propose an LTTC “The power of Communication” specially designed for the learning needs of educators as current reality with all the societal challenges of nowadays proves that now is the high time to improve communication skills both on individual and group level in order to promote diversity, intercultural and inter-religious communication and dialogue, common values of freedom,tolerance and respect of human rights. Objectives: To discuss and come to common understanding of what efficient communication is and its role in educational process to discover how communication is related to human rights and human dignity to develop skills in the competence area “communicating meaningfully with others” To develop skills in intercultural communication in diverse environments and with learners from different backgrounds To reflect on the specifics in communication process in different dimensions such as educator – young people, educator-educator, educator-institution (organisation) and come up with strategies for fostering efficient communication process. to reflect on the effects of non-verbal communication, and how it’s linked with the personal attitudes to become conscious about personal body language when working in multicultural environment.
