Writing in clear English can be very difficult
- Learn how to successfully write official documents and drafts
Writing in comprehensible English can be very difficult especially when it is your second language and not used in day-to-day business. The difficulty gets even worse the more complex the subject gets. Although accuracy and clarity are paramount for official documents, legislative texts, papers for specialist committees, project proposals or final reports still demand a bureaucratic and official language style.

This workshop enables you to use English in a professional manner in order to submit information to European institutions and international project partners in the most effective way possible. As a participant, you will attend plenary and workshop sessions. The workshops include small group tasks during which our experts provide you with step-by-step exercises in writing skills and special vocabulary training units. With the help of our speakers, you will learn how to successfully write official documents and drafts. In addition, you will receive a hand-out with useful strategies and sample solutions for the delivery of (future) documents.
