Wyde Launches Three On-Demand Courses Focused on Human Skills for Professional Development

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 shape performance, relationships, and long-term growth. The courses—Arts Management for Social Impact, Emotional Intelligence, and The Practice of Feedback—are structured to combine clear frameworks with practical application, supporting participants with tools rooted in practice, reflection, and experimentation. This initiative reflects a growing emphasis on soft skills in professional development, addressing gaps in traditional training programs that often overlook emotional and interpersonal competencies.

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. The program builds foundations in social impact frameworks, community and stakeholder mapping, and critical perspectives, then develops participatory practices and co-creation, exploring operational models of independent spaces and grassroots cultural centres, with an emphasis on education and mediation. It is designed for visual arts, curatorial practice, cultural centers, and NGOs, including rural and peripheral contexts. The course is led by Zoran Pantelić, an artist, producer and program editor at kuda.org, and founder of the Apsolutno collective, whose work connects new-media practice with civic participation and cultural innovation. Delivered on demand with a minimum of 10 participants and up to 15, the course includes 12 modules and is priced at €1,400, with the first module free after registration. Participants access a faculty of 8 experts, 18 inspirational videos, 12 live sessions, and a broad set of learning materials, plus proof of attendance and a mentoring component to develop and validate projects, with tools and resources available for 12 months.

The Course in Emotional Intelligence addresses how work and life unfold in real conditions—through conversations, tensions, and decisions made in motion. It positions emotional intelligence as the ability to understand and work with emotions to communicate with clarity, relate with empathy, navigate challenges, and ease tension when it arises. The course offers a guided exploration of emotional intelligence: its foundations, evolution, and practical application in everyday work and life. Structured in 3 modules and available on demand for €100, it is facilitated by Simona Gonella, a director and playwright with a strong focus on emotions and teamwork, linking personal development to more effective and sustainable professional interactions. Designed for professionals who want to strengthen presence, relationships, and responses under pressure, the course supports participants in translating self-awareness into better choices, clearer communication, and more constructive collaboration.

The Course in the Practice of Feedback is an online course created to build the practical skills needed to give, receive, and use feedback effectively—so feedback becomes a lever for learning, trust, and performance rather than a source of tension. It uses practical tools and real-life scenarios to help participants apply feedback in everyday work, improving collaboration, growth, and professional relationships. The training is offered on demand, includes 11 boosters released weekly to support consistent practice, and is priced at €100. Facilitated by Susan Ying, the course is designed for anyone who wants a repeatable method to handle sensitive conversations with clarity, reduce misunderstandings, and turn feedback into a shared operational habit across teams. Wyde’s approach as a Connective School emphasizes transforming how people relate to themselves, to others, and to the systems they work in, with its e-learning platform supporting interactive learning paths rooted in practice, reflection, and experimentation.
