BRAINERY - Skills of the Future
Evening school where you can learn Future Skills with award-winning lecturer Olívia.
In Brainery we focus on the development of key competences for the future, which teach us to think more comprehensively, think more critically, understand human behaviour and see the world around us in a more tolerant way.
The course content is based on the latest knowledge from the behavioural, social sciences and neurobiology.
Brainery takes 10 weeks and consists of 5 modules: Human decision-making and critical thinking, Emotional and social intelligence, Cognitive distortions in negotiations, Science of persuasion, Creative and adaptive thinking, Conversational intelligence, storytelling and public demeanor.

SKILLS OF THE 21st CENTURY
The development of competences defined by us is crucial not only in our opinion, but in that of renowned world media like Fortune 500 and the Institute for the Future as well. In a globalised world overloaded with information, how can we identify what is useful and relevant and then maximise its use in an innovative way? We need to use critical and adaptive thinking to develop the ability to make the best choices. Faced with an information explosion, we need to learn how to work under cognitive overload and how to deal with issues such as focus, memory and stress. Increasing robotization is even beginning to threaten the middle-class, putting pressure on crucial skills: the development of creative thinking and innovation. These skills alone are no guarantee of success. The ability to sell yourself, your negotiation skills, your knowledge of behavioural science and your emotional and social intelligence all have a vital role to play.

"I recommend the Brainery school to people who want to understand themselves and others a little more. I recommend it to people who are looking for deeper connections and like to think about them. People who want to enrich themselves with new knowledge about human behavior without having to study lengthy scientific books and research, and also for people who will want to know more and more after the program and will finally start studying those scientific books :) After the Brainery program, you will no longer look at the world, relationships, behavior as before, you will look with new eyes, you will have more understanding and what may have angered you so far, you will at least get to a neutral level. In short, it will change you. Olivia and Matej, thank you!"
