Seduc and EGPA promote public speaking and rhetoric course for state network educators
With dynamics and knowledge exchange, the training addresses communication skills inside and outside the workplace
To enhance the communication capacity, argumentation, and guide the personal training level of managers and public servants in the state education network, the State Department of Education (Seduc), in partnership with the State School of Public Governance of Pará (EGPA), started the course "Public Speaking and Rhetoric: social and behavioral communication" on Monday (18). About 100 public servants are participating in the training, which runs until next Thursday (21), at the Seduc auditorium in Belém.
With dynamics and knowledge exchange, the course addresses communication skills inside and outside the workplace. According to the head of the Training Directorate (Difor) of Seduc, Raimundo Corrêa, the training is essential for improving communication.
"Communicating well is more than just speaking: it is knowing how to listen, understand, and transform words into bridges that bring people and ideas closer. The 'Public Speaking and Rhetoric' course offers Seduc's public servants the opportunity to awaken these skills, strengthening self-confidence, clarity in expression, and the ability to inspire others," said Raimundo Corrêa.
The director also explained the role of the course as a tool for transformation. "By participating in this training, each public servant discovers that words are a tool for social and educational transformation. Speaking with confidence, empathy, and respect broadens horizons, improves work relationships, and reinforces the commitment to quality public education."
"More than a technique, public speaking is an exercise in leadership and humanity. By investing in this practice, public servants not only grow professionally but also become agents of change, capable of motivating, engaging, and transforming realities," said director Raimundo Corrêa.
The Coordinator of Development and Professional Skills and Abilities in Public Governance (CDHP) of EGPA, Cristina Lopes, emphasizes that the participation of education servants is very important. "The training courses at EGPA have a huge significance for all public servants in general, because we are constantly in this movement of training, improving, and efficiently bringing the work of public servants to the community."
"And how wonderful it is that we are, within the Department of Education, working at this moment on the specific course for managers. The course is about public speaking, rhetoric, and social behavior in public, so we can reach schools, or any other non-school space, but within education, and improve the quality of this service," said Cristina Lopes.
For director Cássia Araújo, of the State Bilingual Integral School Mestra Idalina Rodrigues Pereira, in Icoaraci, the course is an opportunity to enhance skills used daily. "The public speaking course gives us tools for our daily lives, in the school routine, because we need to work on persuasion, the power of speech, the power of public speaking every day, and it facilitates argumentation with the school community, whether it be parents, teachers, or the students themselves. And here we are learning in practice and we can perceive the elements we need to compose our speech within the school," she shared.
