The Academy of Ambassadors is aiming to empower the participants’ skills in science communication, to further develop their professional capacities and to feature them as main spokespeople of SciCo’s values and goals.
The main goal of the program is for the participants to make them active in their fields of work by developing their personal and professional skills. So that this can be realized, the participants should be willing to acknowledge their wishes and desires, their needs and capacities in order to get to know themselves.

More specifically, the program, through learning by doing, is aiming to offer:
1. Customised training sessions (according to the profile of each participant)
2. Science Communication Basics
3. Professional profile preparation
4. Leadership skills (team bonding, counseling, conflict resolution, feedback, etc.)
5. Soft skills (verbal communication, public speaking, body language)
