Module: Workshops in groups
An online course is an excellent opportunity to broaden your knowledge. However, we recognise that a significant value of courses lies in the exchange of experiences among participants. This requires a certain level of openness and willingness to collaborate, which can sometimes only be fully unlocked through face-to-face interaction and the use of appropriate workshop solutions. That is why the programme for in-person courses includes 'Workshops in groups using real documents and a selected workshop format,' lasting approximately 90 minutes. These workshops are conducted during the second part of the course.
COURSE METHOLODOGY:
This training combines theory with practice to provide participants with actionable skills. Interactive lectures deliver core concepts using real-world examples and visual aids, while group discussions encourage the exchange of ideas and solutions tailored to city helplines.
A practical workshop allows participants to analyse existing helpline systems and design optimised processes through hands-on exercises and collaborative problem-solving. Case studies of successful implementations provide insights into best practices, while data-driven analysis teaches participants how to measure and improve performance.
The programme concludes with feedback, reflection, and personalised action planning, ensuring participants leave with the tools and strategies needed to enhance their city helplines effectively.
