Character Building 2-Day Course
Our short course on character building supports young people’s pursuit of a successful and meaningful life.
Education should never only be
about getting a job!
Good education must include good character education and mindset building.
For a minimal fee, you can address your personal skills gap by developing desirable character traits that have long proven to be an important ingredient for achieving greater success in life. These are aspects that are not typically taught at university or college.
Our 2-day course covers the following areas:
- How to Develop a Growth Mindset
- Stress & Anxiety Management
- Digital Emotional Intelligence & Empathy
- Situational Leadership: A Tool for Successful Collaboration
Together with our social responsibility partners, we offer high quality courses that are more affordable and more accessible to young people. All of our sessions are delivered by qualified expert trainers and/or executive coaches.

Frequently
Asked
Questions:
It is recommended that participants in this course are vaccinated and that they have an immunity card. However, this is not a legal requirement in Hungary, as per the latest government decree, and participants are not obliged in this regard if they wish to participate in this course. Participants who are not vaccinated or who do not have an immunity card are also not obliged to wear a mask indoors during the sessions.
The GiLE Foundation made arrangements to deliver this course, in-person, to a group of 15 to 20 people. And we will take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all those in attendance.
It is also worth mentioning that the Hungarian government could introduce new COVID-19 restrictions, at any stage, which could prevent us from hosting this course in-person. This is something that is out of our control and should it happen, then we’ll immediately communicate matters accordingly to those affected.
General information:
Yes, provided that you have a good level of spoken and written English. It should also be emphasised that this 2-day course is designed for students and recent graduates.
Our foundation normally works with a maximum group of 15 to 20 people at a time (i.e. students and recent graduates). However, it is worth highlighting that, depending on the demand for the course, we may consider delivering the course concurrently but with separate groups that each have the same limitation on numbers.
Due to the nature of this course/programme, we believe that a smaller group will maximise the overall learning experience. It also allows us to provide enough personal attention to each participant. That said, spaces are generally limited for each intake and we are always searching for the more motivated individuals.
All of our courses are not state-accredited education courses in Hungary and the GiLE Foundation does not have the legal authority to issue accredited diplomas. Rather, our foundation is a registered Adult Education Service Provider in Hungary (B/2020/001454).
Not necessarily. The GiLE Foundation reserves the right to withhold issuing a participant with a “Certificate of Completion” if he or she has not participated in at least 75% of the contact hours.

No. While our courses develop key competencies and provide valuable insights to participants, we do not provide any guarantees that you will secure a job as a direct result of taking any of our courses.
Our foundation is of the view that the responsibility to find a job ultimately lies with the individual and we always encourage participants to put into practice everything they learnt from our course.
