Do you want to improve your presentation skills? This is an interactive, learning by doing oriented workshop to train your online presentation and public speaking skills.

They consist of short theoretical inputs, many interactive exercises and lots of constructive feedback. We will practice in a small group of 6 participants and two coaches from the Rhetorikforum UZH.

We’re planning a series of evening online activities to pass the time before we can meet in person again.

Virtual get-to-know-each-other games

Did you like the Zoom speed friending activity? Or did you miss it and want another chance to make new friends at the department? Join us for a series of collaborative and competitive games, where you’ll get to know your fellow PhD students and postdocs while exercising your cooperation skills.

Over the coming weeks, we’ve prepared four exciting events for you. More information will be released closer to each event - but you can already start thinking about which of your colleagues you want to challenge to a round of Among Us in the board game night, or compete against in the final pub quiz!
