Areas of activity

We offer cross-border training sessions in order to provide the participants with the necessary skills to work with partners on the other side of the border. Training courses are conducted in two or three languages (Polish, Czech, Slovak), depending on the needs of the target groups. We organise two types of training: interactive and specialised.

Interactive training is aimed at improving soft skills, such as effective communication with your partner, working in a multinational team, creative and positive thinking in „dead-end” situations, ability to adapt to changes in a cross-border work environment, intercultural dialogue, etc. Methods used by the trainers in this type of training are informal (icebreaker, brainstorming, case studies, simulations, pair/group work, discussion, etc.) and their aim is to establish closer relations between the trainees and to create a positive atmosphere of cooperation.

Specialised training is aimed at gaining professional knowledge and skills in well-defined areas, such as, among others: law and administration, education, crisis management, environmental protection, etc. This type of training seeks not only to present the given topic with a special focus on its cross-border specificity and to exchange experiences, but also to compare different administrative systems, management methods, range of skills typical of each country, and good practices used in the neighbouring country. Moreover, these training sessions promote cross-border cooperation in specific fields of expertise by connecting institutions that seek a partner on the other side of the border. They are conducted in the form of a lecture which, however, offers the participants the opportunity to speak, and of a discussion allowing for an exchange of information and experiences between the participants and the trainers, in the given subject matter.

In both types of training we use methods and tools which have been transferred from other European cross-border regions and tailored to the needs of the Polish, Czech and Slovak border area. When conducting cross-border training sessions and workshops we use, among others, the experience of Franco-German, Franco-Spanish, Austrian-Slovenian-Italian or Irish border regions.

As part of our training and consulting services, we also offer meetings and consultations in the field of fundraising and management of cross-border projects, and arrange study visits for organised groups visiting our border region.

We have high class equipment for simultaneous interpreting at our disposal. Depending on your needs, each training session can be conducted with the help of professional equipment from BOSCH.

We hold our training sessions in Cieszyn and Třinec. We can also arrange sessions in a location indicated by you.
