Workshops
Business Sketching: Have you ever been in a situation where you just couldn’t find the right words to express or explain your thoughts to someone else? Often our way of communicating with others needs more than just the things we say or write in words. Sketching is the use of drawing to visually support thinking, communicating, informing, and explaining. The term ‘business sketch’ refers to the use of sketching in a professional context. It is an effective and efficient way to guide people's attention and to make communication accessible and more clear. Using your natural ability to sketch (it is true, everybody can draw a picture!) you have a powerful tool right in your own hands that will enable you to connect with others faster and better and with more engagement as a result. In addition, it helps to direct your own thinking process. Sounds like magic, doesn’t it! Through this practical and interactive training, the basics of business sketch will be explained, practiced, and applied. At the end of the training, you will be able to put this into practice with joy and confidence.
Vlogging for Professionals: Learn about the power of video and why this is a useful tool to share your research with the public. This workshop combines theory and practice, in which you hear about when to use video, target audiences, interviewing techniques in vlogs, visual storytelling techniques. The workshop is hosted by an enthusiastic and experienced video producer who will teach you the necessary skills to start using the power of video for your research!
Rock Your Research Profile: How do you define success? Some would say that success is when who you are lines up with what you do. A great way to bring your unique success story to life is through your online profile. Your profile helps you get recognized and opens the door to new opportunities, like partnerships, mentorships, or speaking events. It gives you credibility, showcases your ‘brand’, and tells your story. For that reason, you want to showcase who you are, the work you do, and the impact you've made or would like to make throughout your career. In this workshop we will discuss different profiles (e.g. LinkedIn, PURE, ResearchGate), focus on the do’s and don’ts of profile building and bring your work accomplishments and career journey to life. No matter how you define success, it starts with your online profile. Get ready to take advantage of the many ways to showcase your unique skills and talents by building a profile that represents you.
Game of Skills: Unify with junior researchers from different APH research programs during this workshop! In this session, we will play a getting-to-know-your-research-and-skills game. The aim is to connect with others and develop original, inspiring and innovative ideas and activities. May the best team win!
