Communication training for the beco, Canton of Bern
In this project we have developed a 3-hour communication training, which consists of theoretical inputs as well as practical exercises and role-play elements. We focus on the basics of verbal and non-verbal communication, but also on aspects of environmental psychology such as personal space, territories, and the perception and use of spatial structures.
The training aimed at providing chimney sweepers with communication skills that help them to promote a more sustainable and environmental friendly heating-behaviour with their clients.
