The Stage is Yours - Perform with Confidence

5 ECTS | 75€ | On-site in Turku | 1-30 August 2023 with contact teaching 7-18 August 2023

Working life is full of situations where professionals need to be able to speak and perform in front of an audience. Perhaps you need to pitch an idea to a sponsor or your boss? Or maybe you need to introduce yourself to a bunch of new people or film a video application?

Whatever the situation is, performing can be overly exciting. Even professional performers get nervous before performing. The good news is you can learn to be a confident performer. 

During contact teaching, you will gain self-confidence as a performer through practical exercises. The course also includes independent work and group work.
