My name is Rosela Toska, I am 19 years old, I live in a village in Berat and I am currently studying as a nurse at a professional school where I got informed about a training that was organised by the Regional Development Agency Berat (RDA) in collaboration with GIZ Albania.
My experience with the training was fun and I always felt motivated. I understood through meditation sessions that I can bring myself to the right attitude wich I belive it is crucial to learing something completely new.
The course helped me look at digitalization not only as a means of entertainment but also as a mean of education.
This helped me do research the right way for my school. I learned online academic resources such as google scholar, to help me find the right academic research papers for my assignements.
I In the course I also learned about presentations using the cloud based software, google slides. A platform that I can create slideshows on the go, even on my phone. This was really awsome since our two amazing trainers helped me combine the digital skills required to create amazing slide presntations with public speaking training.
During our course, I learned to give public speeches the right way. I learned on preparing my speech thoroughly and how to combine my speech content with the slides on the screen. I really didn’t knew that It took so much efford to concentrate in order to manage my fear of public speech but, with the right mental excercises and the right trainers to guide me through that experience It was fun. I really got over the anxiety that I had in the beginning and my techniques on digital skills helped me a lot.
Another thing that I recently started using social media as a means to promote my hobby in aesthetics as a nails artist was the digital skills that I learned in the course. They were amazing, I learned the promotions on how to get in front of interested people to sell my service as well as how to use the built in analytics tool to really grasp on the effectiveness of my ad campaigns. It was more awsome than I have ever imagined. Thank you so much for the opportunity RDA Berat and Giz Albania for providing me with such an amazing experice with tangible skills that I can use them in the future.
