Formation Workshop 2015

FoWo

      Formation Workshop (FoWo) is one of the most important international events  organised by EUROAVIA association.

    A soft skills training event, such as the EUROAVIA Formation Workshop, aims to develop the team spirit and the leader qualities of our members. These skills can only be acquired and developed by having trainings from experienced and professional trainers. It is important to understand that these skills can only be used effectively by putting theory in practice. By having soft skills workshops accompanied by live practice of those skills, the success of  FoWo will be certain.

      Our workshops will be provided by highly qualified trainers from companies which are associated with the aviation industry. Although this time some workshops will be also provided by trainers from Electrical Engineering Students’ European Association (EESTEC). Their association has a training team who is specialising in soft skills and technical  workshops.  What is more, whole event will be monitored, recorded and analysed to achieve the highest quality of the  Formation Workshop 2015. After the event, every member will receive a feedback with detailed analysis of personal development.

The latest events of this kind that took place were:

– Istanbul, Turkey – 2013

– Bucharest, Romania – 2011

– Athens, Greece – 2010

 

Below  there is a program of all workshops and  a description of each:
