The Parents Teach This Week project is gaining popularity among students, because they have the opportunity to learn everything that interests them directly from the horse’s mouth, i.e. from renowned experts with long and successful careers. The latest iteration of the project was a success, just like the previous ones, and it’s becoming a tradition in International School. This time, International School and Ms Tatjana Koluvija welcomed Marijana Perović, Mina’s mother, economist and finance and insurance expert with 19 years of experience.
Professional communication and insurance companies? Let us teach you about them
The visiting lecturer and the mother of our student gave a very useful and engaging lecture on professional communication and insurance companies and their activity. The lecture held everyone’s attention, and Mrs. Perović highlighted the most important aspects of insurance, and the field of HR in our life from the standpoint of a seasoned expert.
Students had the opportunity to see that their everyday life entails different situations in which they meet different people who have problems of their own, and how we all need to focus on ourselves, our own strengths and knowledge to avoid conflicts and communicate in a polite and civilized manner. The lesson helped Business students to revise their knowledge about insurance and HR departments in different companies, as well as their actions in everyday life.
Workshop for more successful communication
All activities of International School are guided by the same goal – to help our students advance and develop a set of skills needed for their future education and professional career. One of the most important skills that students should develop as early as possible is communication skills, especially English language skills.
To that aim, Mina’s mother prepared a workshop where students practiced communicating in an assertive, clear and polite manner, and discussed obstacles in everyday communication and ways to overcome them. Students worked in teams to achieve the workshop goals, and had loads of fun and laughter in the process.
Project participants are experts in various business fields
The Parents Teach This Week project brings various benefits to students of International School, because the parents – visiting lectures are experts in various fields, so our students have the opportunity to attend lectures in different fields, where many also learn about the very profession they intend to pursue in the future.
We are extremely grateful that our students’ parents are happy to accept the position of our visiting lecturers and improve the teaching and learning process in International School through their valuable experience and expertise.
