Arqus Workshop Explores Social Anxiety and Fear of Public Speaking

Students across the Arqus European University Alliance are invited to join an online workshop on social anxiety, self-confidence and fear of public speaking, organised in collaboration between Vilnius University and Maynooth University. The session will take place on 10 November at 16.00.

Fear can help protect us from difficult or threatening situations, but it can also become an obstacle when speaking in public, expressing ideas or taking part in social situations. The workshop will explore how social anxiety can affect confidence and communication, while introducing practical ways to feel more grounded and secure.

The session will be facilitated by Rūta Bakanaitė, Vilnius University Community Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and CBT Therapist. The workshop offers an opportunity to better understand anxiety related to public speaking and social situations and to explore strategies that may help strengthen confidence in everyday academic and social contexts.
