Handouts from Global Denmark

The workshop is run in English, and you will get plenty of practice in presenting, improvising and giving feedback. You are invited to perform a five-minute sequence from a presentation that you intend to use in your work. Your presenting skills will be enhanced through personal feedback and reviewing recordings of your presentation. We also include ‘language workshops' where we give you linguistic advice and fine tune your English. Furthermore, you will be introduced to presentation theory and receive GlobalDenmark's toolbox on effective intercultural presentation technique.
