The crisis is a phenomenon which a man can experience no matter what its reasons are,
either personal or impersonal. Therefore, one of the ways or fundamental conditions to
overcome the crisis is communication both intrapersonal on a level of inner integration and
interpersonal which makes it possible to meet and have a dialogue. Communication is a skill that
one has to learn. The article tries to search for personal determinants of communication as a
basis for acquiring and developing communication skills in the crisis. It also aims at showing that
a human person is an integrating subject of one’s own communication activities as well as a
platform of integration of intersubjective media activities. That is why, it can be said that a person
is homo communicus and homo communicans, and the other way round that homo communicus who
becomes homo communicans is a person. On this foundation one can and at the same time must
build and develop communication skills in the crisis.
