Closing Event: Akademickie Dni Retoryki.
Students' Research Teams presentation, conference and workshop (E4)

The closing event of the project took place in Warsaw on 13-14 October 2022. First day was devoted to presenting all the outputs to a wide academic and non-academic audience. During the conference, which took place in the beautiful setting of Pałac Kazimierzowski, each output was presented by output leaders and discussed with our colleagues from different universities. Presentations which followed shed a broader light on the results of the project and their appliance by various stakeholders. Next day was more student-centered, but the events were also open to a wider audience. A workshop with board games (accompanied by coffee and snacks :-) ) was followed by and open lecture and a meeting.

Rhetorical Research and Didactics (E3)

The RHEFINE Conference took place on the 24th and 25th of February 2022 at The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the Zagreb University and online.

The conference hosted scholars from different European countries that seemed to have a similar goal: to evaluate and improve rhetorical research and didactics, which is in line with the RHEFINE team's goal.

Above all, it was an opportunity to present the projects outputs to a wider audience. Most attention has been given to Rhetorical Research and Didactics, a book coordinated by the Croatian team: Diana Tomić, Elenmari Pletikos Olof and Jelena Vlašić Duić. Ewa Modrzejewska, Agnieszka Szurek and Kinga Rogowska presented the outputs led the Polish team, and during the online session the members of the Bulgarian team - Ivanka Mavrodieva and Iglika Kassabova - shared their experiences on teaching rhetoric.
