Wyde, the Connective School, has announced the launch of three on-demand courses on its e-learning platform, targeting professionals seeking to strengthen human skills that directly impact performance, relationships, and long-term development. The courses—Arts Management for Social Impact, Emotional Intelligence, and The Practice of Feedback—are designed with clear frameworks and practical applications, emphasizing tools rooted in practice, reflection, and experimentation. This initiative reflects a growing emphasis on soft skills in professional environments, where emotional intelligence and effective communication are increasingly recognized as critical to organizational success and personal growth.
The Course in Arts Management for Social Impact focuses on designing cultural initiatives that generate measurable social value through strategic thinking and hands-on project skills. It covers foundations in social impact frameworks, community and stakeholder mapping, and critical perspectives, while exploring participatory practices, co-creation, and operational models of independent spaces and grassroots cultural centers. Led by Zoran Pantelić, an artist, producer, and program editor at kuda.org, the course brings a critical, impact-focused perspective, connecting new-media practice with civic participation and cultural innovation. Priced at €1,400, it includes 12 modules, with the first module free after registration, and offers access to a faculty of 8 experts, 18 inspirational videos, 12 live sessions, learning materials, proof of attendance, and a mentoring component for project development, with tools available for 12 months.
The Course in Emotional Intelligence addresses how work and life unfold in real conditions, such as conversations, tensions, and decisions made in motion. It positions emotional intelligence as the ability to understand and work with emotions to communicate clearly, relate with empathy, navigate challenges, and ease tension. Structured in 3 modules and priced at €100, the course is facilitated by Simona Gonella, a director and playwright with a focus on emotions and teamwork, linking personal development to more effective professional interactions. It targets professionals aiming to strengthen presence, relationships, and responses under pressure, helping translate self-awareness into better choices and clearer communication.
The Course in the Practice of Feedback is an online program designed to build practical skills for giving, receiving, and using feedback effectively, turning it into a lever for learning, trust, and performance rather than a source of tension. Using practical tools and real-life scenarios, it helps participants apply feedback in everyday work to improve collaboration, growth, and professional relationships. Priced at €100 and offered on demand, it includes 11 boosters released weekly to support consistent practice and is facilitated by Susan Ying, targeting anyone seeking a repeatable method for handling sensitive conversations with clarity and reducing misunderstandings.
Wyde's approach as a Connective School involves designing learning experiences that transform how people relate to themselves, others, and the systems they work in. Its e-learning platform supports these projects over time, offering interactive learning paths that emphasize practical application. The launch of these courses highlights the importance of human skills in today's fast-paced professional world, where abilities like emotional intelligence and effective feedback are essential for fostering collaborative environments and driving innovation. For professionals and organizations, these courses provide accessible opportunities to enhance these competencies, potentially leading to improved workplace dynamics, increased productivity, and greater social impact through culturally informed initiatives.
