Cooperation with development project, soft skills training

SIMPLE project results were practicaly used during the 6th summer school in Cambodia at Royal University of Agriculture (RUA) in Phnom Penh. The summer school is the integral part of the development projects supported by Czech Development Agency (CDA) coordinated by the project manager at CULS is Petra Chaloupková (FTA , DED). The summer school was mainly focusing on soft skills. Students practised in small teams many skills: communication, critical thinking, negotiation, responsibility, presentation skills, listening, focusing on the long term impact, creation of some PR and communication materials, photography and video taking. Learning activities were supported by local colleagues (Sok Kimchhin a Raksmey Phoeurk). Within their assignment the students set up the organisation called SUMORUA - "Sustainable Movement of RUA". They designed a real project based on the real needs they identified. Under the Sumorua, students organised the "Action day". They invited other students and also representatives of another initiative called "Green bottles" that is based at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. They also worked closely with the Youth for Environment group that is based in the centre of languages at RUA.
