2025 VIRTUAL INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION CAMP

Teenagers engage in interpersonal communication every day. Whether they are talking with friends, speaking with teachers, or conversing with parents, students must learn to communicate effectively in order to reach their goals. Students will learn how to listen and have empathy for others, correctly perceive what others are trying to communicate including those from other cultures and backgrounds, and how their body language sometimes can communicate more than what they say. They will understand that good communication skills are paramount to good relationships. Students will also learn how their communication creates problems in their lives. Interpersonal Communication camp will be an incredible journey for students to work on self-improvement and through self-reflection work on a plan of action.


In this course, students will learn:

 
  • Body Language
  • Listening Skills
  • Empathy
  • Self Esteem
  • Intercultural Communication
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Conversational Skills
  • Interviewing

Interpersonal Communication camp will be an incredible journey for students to work on self-improvement and through self-reflection work on a plan of action.
