Applications for Presentation skills - a competition in which you have the opportunity to show your true self - are on-going!

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "presentation" is probably a large premise, lecture room, or hall with a microphone in front of the person presenting while a large number of people are listening intently. That is a presentation, but in the circumstances caused by the pandemic, such a way of presentation has been replaced by applications for meetings such as zoom, virtual applause, and addressing through the camera from one's own home, and not in conference or lecture halls. The importance of public appearance remains important because any communication with people is important for human development, both in business and private life.
This year as well, the eSTUDENT network from Varaždin decided to provide students with the opportunity to improve their presentation skills. Therefore, it organizes a competition called Presentation skills, but this year in a slightly different form. The competition will be held entirely online, so the contestants will have to make a video pitch in addition to the presentation. To that, you can register until March 14!
The theme of this year's case study is Digital Marketing as part of the case "Small Festival - Big Stage". On Thursday, March 10, at 7 pm, a panel discussion will take place to present the business case and explain in more detail what exactly the solution should contain in order to deserve the main prize! The panel discussion will be attended by the creators of this year's case, Mr. Dino Oreški (Upping Agency) and Mr. Igor Baksa (the originator of the idea and leader of the Small Festival), and Prof. Violeta Vidaček-Hainš, Ph.D. (professor at the Faculty of Organization and Informatics and member of the jury). The event will be held on the online platform and broadcasted via Facebook, and you can register at the link
Solutions should be submitted by April 4, and the final of the competition will be held on April 20. Cash prizes are also prepared for the best team or the best individual: 1st place wins HRK 1,500, 2nd place HRK 1,000, and 3rd place HRK 500.

Distinguish yourself with your presentation!

Presentation skills is a competition in which students have to solve a given case and make a presentation for their solution and present it to an expert jury. Presentation skills is a variant of the Case Study competition, but with an emphasis on the way of presentation and the appearance of the presentation, more precisely what is evaluated is verbal and non-verbal communication, not just the quality of the case solution. After the presentation, each contestant receives feedback from the expert jury on his way of presenting so that he can improve it.
During the preparation for the presentation, the contestants will have the opportunity to attend lectures and workshops from March 15, to April 2. The first of the workshops will be the Ramiro presentation skills workshop to be held on March 22, at 1 pm, titled “3 Secrets of Successful Presenters”. Competitors in the workshops will gain the knowledge that is very useful for their presentation and thus have a better chance to win. Do something for yourself and distinguish yourself!
