UNSA Student Support Office Implements Student Training Program in Cooperation with KJU Family Counseling

The University of Sarajevo Student Support Office implemented the Training Program for Students - Social Skills in cooperation with the KJU Family Counseling, and was implemented as a set of six workshops.

The training program for students - Social Skills covered the following topics that are important for the student population:
•    What are social skills?
•    Communication skills
•    Conflict resolution
•    Self-image
•    Violence among young people
•    Standing up for yourself.

Although we optimistically announced the implementation of trainings at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, some of the topics were still processed in an interactive online environment due to the deteriorating epidemiological situation in Sarajevo Canton. The students expressed their gratitude for the organized workshops and socializing.

Students expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the Training Program - Social Skills, and recorded their observations in our evaluation sheets.
What the students pointed out as useful that they can apply in everyday life:
“It is necessary to find a balance in communication,” if we have an aggressive style of communication, we endanger “the rights of others “, but we should not have a passive style of communication. For me a very good experience, and I learned what I did not know before.”

 “I can more consciously enter into and act in conflicts, having an idea of the purpose, purpose, and broad significance of behavior focused on cooperation and the use of conflict for growth.”
“"It was most helpful for me to learn about assertive communication...”
 “Inspirational workshops, provides clear knowledge without overwhelming information. Awareness of the topic, the importance of social skills, various implications, the use of this knowledge, my current position within these topics, as well as the position or directions of further development. Inspirational, fun and simple The benefits are that by working on myself I become more and more satisfied with how I stand up for myself and that I act correctly and in line with core values.”
“Lots of interesting techniques and tips that we can use in our daily actions and relationships with others.”
 
The Office uses the opportunity to thank the experts from the Family Counseling Center for a well-realized set of six workshops. We hope for the continuation of cooperation to the mutual satisfaction, and especially for synergistic action for the benefit of students of the University of Sarajevo.
Special thanks go to the students for their interest and participation in the workshops and the upcoming meeting at the Office.
