Wyde, operating as the Connective School, has launched three on-demand courses on its e-learning platform aimed at helping professionals develop human skills that influence performance, relationships, and long-term career growth. The courses—Arts Management for Social Impact, Emotional Intelligence, and The Practice of Feedback—represent a strategic response to increasing recognition that technical expertise alone is insufficient for professional success in complex, interpersonal work environments.
The Arts Management for Social Impact course focuses on designing cultural initiatives that create measurable social value through strategic thinking and practical project skills. Priced at €1,400, the program includes 12 modules covering social impact frameworks, community mapping, and participatory practices, with emphasis on education and mediation in various contexts including rural areas. The course is led by Zoran Pantelić, an artist and producer whose work connects new-media practice with civic participation. Participants gain access to eight experts, 18 inspirational videos, 12 live sessions, and learning materials available for 12 months, along with project mentoring. Additional information about the program structure is available at https://www.wyde.com/arts-management.
The Emotional Intelligence course, priced at €100, addresses how work and life unfold through conversations, tensions, and decisions made in dynamic conditions. Structured in three modules, the course positions emotional intelligence as the ability to understand and work with emotions to communicate clearly, relate with empathy, and navigate challenges effectively. Facilitator Simona Gonella brings experience as a director and playwright with strong focus on emotions and teamwork, helping participants translate self-awareness into better choices and clearer communication. The course is designed for professionals seeking to strengthen presence and relationships under pressure.
The Practice of Feedback course, also priced at €100, builds practical skills for giving, receiving, and using feedback effectively so it becomes a tool for learning and performance rather than tension. Including 11 weekly boosters to support consistent practice, the course uses real-life scenarios to help participants apply feedback in everyday work, improving collaboration and professional relationships. Facilitated by Susan Ying, the training provides a repeatable method for handling sensitive conversations with clarity and reducing misunderstandings across teams.

These offerings come as organizations increasingly recognize that human skills—sometimes called soft skills or power skills—are critical for leadership, innovation, and effective collaboration in rapidly changing work environments. Wyde's approach combines clear frameworks with practical application, supporting participants with tools rooted in practice, reflection, and experimentation through its e-learning platform. The company describes itself as designing learning experiences that transform how people relate to themselves, to others, and to the systems they work in, with the platform extending these projects over time through interactive learning paths.
The importance of these courses extends beyond individual professional development to organizational effectiveness. As workplaces become more distributed and diverse, skills in emotional intelligence and feedback have shown correlation with improved team performance, reduced conflict, and enhanced innovation capacity. Similarly, the arts management course addresses growing interest in how cultural initiatives can drive social change, particularly in underserved communities. By making these skills accessible through on-demand formats with flexible pricing, Wyde responds to market demand for professional development that balances theoretical understanding with immediately applicable tools.
