Mosaic of Communication (MOC)
This 8-day course explores communication in multilingual classroom through the craft of mosaic making. Each of us are individual pieces of the community mosaic.

Implementation
The course raises awareness of the need to learn effective communication in order to be successful in our social lives. By exploring different types of communication while creating a mosaic, participants will analyse skills that make their communication effective. The skills can be compared to a pieces of mosaic – we can observe the colour and the shape of a single piece, but only a complete picture of assembled pieces together give us aesthetic satisfaction. The same with the communication – only understanding the mechanism behind communication and engaging the skills efficiently we can achieve effective communication. The course methodology is unique in a way that participants not only improve their understanding of effective communication but also learn the craft of mosaic making.
