Social intelligence
Workshop goals:
To present participants with information about theoretical and practical aspects of social intelligence. To encourage recognising and developing skills and competencies connected to social intelligence.
How effectively do you navigate your social surroundings? Do you establish friendships and relationships easily? Do you momentarily grasp the unwritten rules, coalitions and animosities in an unknown group of people? The skills to manage the social landscape can be summarized as social intelligence.

How does social intelligence relate to socially important topics and what should we know about the effect of our unconscious attitudes and prejudices on our reasoning?
