Synopsis:
This crash course focuses on developing an awareness of the personal presentation skills. This does not only include technical and theoretical aspects of design and concept of talks and posters, but also addresses the personal strengths and weaknesses of the individual. 

In a first session, we will do several hands-on exercises in rotating groups. With these experiences in mind, we will try to lay the fingers onto the individual challenges during presentation. If time allows, we will focus on breaking up your presentation routine to reach your personal presentation comfort zone. The second session will take place right after your project presentation at the ABC summer school and we will use this material to discuss what aspects and details still can be improved to reach an even higher level of presentation skill. 

Prerequisites:
A strong interest in improving presentation skills and the enthusiasm to seriously work on your own weaknesses.
